Coming into today, shares of the cruise operator had lost 0.11% in the past month. In that same time, the Consumer Discretionary sector gained 0.77%, while the S&P 500 gained 2.04%.

Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $4.27 per share and revenue of $20.47 billion. These totals would mark changes of +0.23% and +8.39%, respectively, from last year.

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.
