Carnival has stabilized after a strong rally, with shares flat since August amid solid fundamentals and macro headwinds. Carnival reported strong Q1 2026 results: 6% revenue growth, 11% operating earnings growth, and adjusted EPS up to $0.20, despite higher share count. 85% of 2026 capacity is already sold, dividend reinstated at $0.15 per quarter, and further deleveraging is underway, though growth is slowing.
