The investment community will be closely monitoring the performance of Carnival in its forthcoming earnings report.

For the full year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $2.17 per share and revenue of $26.64 billion, which would represent changes of +52.82% and +6.49%, respectively, from the prior year.
Investors should also pay attention to any latest changes in analyst estimates for Carnival. These revisions typically reflect the latest short-term business trends, which can change frequently. Therefore, positive revisions in estimates convey analysts' confidence in the business performance and profit potential.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. We developed the Zacks Rank to capitalize on this phenomenon. Our system takes these estimate changes into account and delivers a clear, actionable rating model.
Ranging from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), the Zacks Rank system has a proven, outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks returning an average of +25% annually since 1988.

Valuation is also important, so investors should note that Carnival has a Forward P/E ratio of 11.74 right now. This signifies a discount in comparison to the average Forward P/E of 18.78 for its industry.
