Sharon Zackfia’s rating is based on several positive indicators for Carnival’s financial performance. She anticipates that Carnival will surpass its fourth-quarter expectations, both in revenue and profit, driven by strong last-minute bookings and onboard spending. Additionally, the company’s net yields are expected to exceed the guidance of approximately 4.3%, indicating robust demand.
Looking ahead to fiscal 2026, Zackfia is optimistic about Carnival’s prospects due to sustained demand and moderate capacity expansion, which should support continued pricing strength. This combination of factors suggests a favorable outlook for Carnival, justifying the Buy rating.
In another report released today, Stifel Nicolaus also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $38.00 price target.
