Why Carnival Stock Is Sailing Higher
Portfolio Pulse from Erica Kollmann
Carnival Corporation (NYSE:CCL) shares are trading higher after Stifel maintained a Buy rating and raised its price target from $25 to $26, citing underperformance compared to peers as a buying opportunity. Stifel anticipates Carnival could raise its full-year guidance in its upcoming report. This comes as competitors Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:NCLH) and Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (NYSE:RCL) reported better-than-expected earnings and raised guidance due to increased travel demand. Carnival's stock is trading around its 50-day moving average with a significant short interest. A long-term forecast suggests a challenging outlook for Carnival's stock price.
