Carnival Corporation & plc (CCL) reported its fourth-quarter results on December 21, surpassing the consensus EPS and revenue estimates. In this piece, I have discussed why it could be prudent to wait for a better entry point in the stock despite its better-than-expected results.
For the quarter, CCL’s loss per share came 44.7% lower than the consensus estimate, and its revenue was 2.3% higher than analyst estimates. The company has a solid earnings history, as it surpassed the consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters.
