CCL Stock Recent News

Here is how Carnival (CCL) and Monarch Casino (MCRI) have performed compared to their sector so far this year.

When deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a stock, investors often rely on analyst recommendations. Media reports about rating changes by these brokerage-firm-employed (or sell-side) analysts often influence a stock's price, but are they really important?

BOSTON , Aug. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2025 Carnival MPV and 2025 Telluride SUV each received 2025 Winter Vehicle Awards from the New England Motor Press Association (NEMPA). This is the fourth time the Telluride has won a Winter Vehicle Award from the automotive media group, including three class wins for midsize SUV (2021, 2024, 2025) and an overall win for Winter SUV of the Year in 2020.

Carnival is recovering strongly post-pandemic, with robust demand, improving margins, and a clear path to credit upgrades, yet remains undervalued versus peers. The company's disciplined capacity management, record-high bookings, and innovative loyalty program support sustainable growth and pricing power. Financial health is improving as leverage declines and liquidity normalizes, with key ratios now at or above industry minimums and trending positively.

Shares of the retailer haven't moved much since April. The cruise operator's stock is beating the S&P 500.

Investors interested in stocks from the Leisure and Recreation Services sector have probably already heard of Carnival (CCL) and Atour Lifestyle Holdings Limited Sponsored ADR (ATAT). But which of these two stocks is more attractive to value investors?
