Reason
Wells Fargo analyst Trey Bowers initiated coverage of Carnival with an Overweight rating and $37 price target. Wells views the cruise sector as the most compelling in in its gaming, leisure and lodging coverage. It expects "rapidly" improving returns on invested capital at both the company and overall industry level. The total addressable market of cruise will continue to expand and private island attractions in the Caribbean have and will drive higher levels of demand, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Tigress Financial raised the firm's price target on Carnival to $40 from $38 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. Carnival recently reported "record" Q3 results, notes the analyst, who adds that forward bookings and guest deposits at "record levels" give the company revenue visibility into 2026. The firm's 12-month price target represents a potential return of close to 38% from current levels, the analyst added.

UBS raised the firm's price target on Carnival to $35 from $33 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. Carnival's Q3 results came in better than expectations and is likely to beat its yield guidance, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The industry will be comping the period of uncertainty last year into the elections, which seems likely to show improvement in close-in bookings year over year, the firm says.
