Carnival is Unlikely to Benefit From any Improvement in Booking Trends in 2026, UBS Says
Carnival's (CCL) financials are unlikely to benefit from any improvement in booking trends this year, considering that Europe is almost entirely booked and a full quarter of headwinds from the prolonged Middle East crisis, UBS said in a research report emailed Wednesday.The company had trimmed its fiscal 2026 yield guidance by 100 basis points at the top end, amid the Middle East conflict that drove airfare higher and subsequently impacted the cost of a cruise to a customer, analysts wrote.The downwardly revised guidance is also due to changes on the remaining 15% of inventory for 2026, indicating that yield change on those remaining cruises is 600 bps to 700 bps worse than expected earlier, according to the note.The company highlighted that since March, booking volumes are tracking ahead from a year earlier, and the geopolitical impact on demand seems transitory, according to UBS.The brokerage said it reiterated its buy rating on the stock and price target of $35 per share.Price: $28.95, Change: $+0.23, Percent Change: +0.80%

Carnival Issues Downbeat Fiscal Third-Quarter Earnings Outlook; Sees Robust Demand, Booking Trends
Carnival (CCL) provided a fiscal third-quarter earnings outlook below Wall Street's estimates on Tuesday, although the cruise operator recorded a surprise year over year profit increase in the previous three-month period and forecast robust demand and booking trends.The company anticipates adjusted earnings of about $1.35 a share for the ongoing quarter, while the current consensus on FactSet is for $1.42. Capacity is pegged to grow by 1.5% from the prior-year period.Carnival shares dropped 5.8% in Tuesday trade. The stock has lost 6.8% so far this year.However, Chief Executive Josh Weinstein said the company's booked position for the second half is higher than last year, "at historically high prices" in constant currency, despite operating amidst extreme geopolitical headwinds that mainly impacted its booking trends for European deployments especially in the Mediterranean region, which was closest in proximity to the Middle East conflict."The US and Iran last week signed a memorandum of understanding to end their war and reopen the crucial Strait of Hormuz."We are now 93% booked for the year with less inventory remaining for sale than this time last year and are on track for record net yields in the second half of 2026," according to Weinstein.For the quarter ended May, Carnival's adjusted EPS rose to $0.41 from $0.35 the year before, defying the Street's view for a decline to $0.34. Overall revenue improved to $6.66 billion from $6.33 billion, but fell short of the average analyst estimate of $6.69 billion."We achieved another quarter of record results, marking our twelfth consecutive quarter of record net yields and delivering over 20% more to the bottom line, overcoming extreme geopolitical headwinds and nearly 30% higher fuel costs," Weinstein said.Occupancy remained flat at 104% on a yearly basis. Customer deposits reached an "all-time high" of $9 billion, amid robust demand, according to the company.For fiscal 2026, Carnival now expects adjusted EPS of around $2.22, up from its prior guidance of $2.21. The Street is looking for $2.23. Capacity growth is seen at 1%, compared with the previous outlook for an increase of 0.9%."As conditions continue to normalize, we expect to benefit from the strong demand, pricing and operational improvements embedded throughout our business," according to Weinstein. "Recent booking trends already suggest that we are beginning to see a reversal of these headwinds, reinforcing our confidence in both the near-term outlook and the long-term earnings power of the business."Looking further ahead, the company sees strong demand for 2027 and beyond, the CEO added. Booking volumes and prices for future sailings have been "running ahead" of last year's levels since March, including a "substantial increase in bookings for our European deployments next year," Weinstein noted.Price: $28.36, Change: $-1.83, Percent Change: -6.06%

US Equity Investors to Watch Out for Micron Technology's Earnings, PCE Inflation, Iran Peace Talks This Week
US equity investors will focus this week on quarterly earnings from Micron Technology (MU) and inflation, while keeping a close eye on progress in talks between Iran and the US.* Earnings due this week include Micron Technology (MU), FedEx (FDX), Cerebras Systems (CBRS), Carnival (CCL), Trip.com (TCOM), Darden Restaurants (DRI), and Paychex (PAYX).* Looking ahead to Q2, consensus estimates call for earnings growth of more than 22%, according to a note from DA Davidson late Thursday. All of the S&P 500 constituents have reported Q1 results. Earnings surged almost 29% year-over-year, versus nearly 13% expected as of March 31, the strongest growth since Q4 2021. Information technology and communication services led the growth. Health Care was the only sector to see earnings fall in Q1.* Macroeconomic data due this week includes personal consumption expenditures, or PCE, price index, final read on Q1 gross domestic product, ADP employment change, S&P global composite PMI, durable goods orders, and Michigan consumer sentiment final, as well as inflation expectations.* "We used to think [PCE] was the Federal Reserve's favourite inflation gauge but now we're less sure given the arrival of a new Chair [Kevin Warsh] who launched five taskforces this past week including one to look at different measures of inflation," a Scotiabank note said late Thursday.* The US and Iran agreed to create a "de-confliction cell," facilitated by Qatar and Pakistan to ensure the end of military operations in Lebanon, CNN cited mediators in a news report early Monday. Fighting between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah has been a key obstacle to a deal, with Tehran insisting that deadly Israeli strikes must stop.* Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, said sanctions on Tehran's oil were waived and some of its frozen assets released, CNN reported. Araghchi was also cited as saying a "reconstruction and development plan" was launched.
