What the Analysts think about Carnival
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Carnival stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Carnival's second-quarter revenue of $6.33 billion and adjusted net income of $470 million both beat analyst estimates, while record customer deposits of $8.5 billion and forward bookings for 2026 in line with 2025 underscore strong demand (Reuters).
The company raised its full-year 2025 adjusted EPS guidance to $1.97 from $1.83, showing management’s confidence in ongoing yield growth and solid booking momentum (Reuters).
Carnival surpassed its 2026 SEA Change financial goals 18 months early—achieving record adjusted return on invested capital and adjusted EBITDA per available lower berth day—which highlights operational efficiency and effective strategy execution (Reuters).
Carnival cautioned about 'heightened macroeconomic volatility' stemming from escalating trade disputes, warning that this could drive up inflation and curb discretionary consumer spending on cruises—adding uncertainty to demand despite strong bookings (Reuters).
For the first quarter ended February 28, Carnival's projected adjusted profit was $0.22 per share, missing analysts' estimate of $0.23 per share. Shares fell nearly 2%, underlining limited visibility for near-term earnings (Reuters).
Morgan Stanley lowered its price target for Carnival’s ADR to 1,650p from 2,000p, signaling that analysts expect slower share performance and tempering growth expectations compared to previous forecasts (Reuters).
