On the filings, Carnival (CCL) is the stronger stock right now — higher on our blended fundamentals-plus-verdict read, and we currently rate it BUY.
Carnival's earnings recovery is real and accelerating, debt is shrinking, and at its multiple the stock isn't pricing it in.
Cruise demand has fully recovered and operations are strong — but a $18B debt load and huge newbuild commitments cap the upside.
