The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- CCL closes above its 50-day average ($25.28) while the 50-day is still under the 200-day ($27.11): a rebound inside a longer decline, not yet an uptrend.
- At $29.58, CCL is 13.1% below its 1-year high of $34.03, set on February 6, 2026, and 37.9% above its 1-year low of $21.45 (September 24, 2026).
- Over the past month CCL rose 13.2%, from $26.13 to $29.58.
- CCL trades at 13.0x its last twelve months of earnings and 11.5x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 13.4% higher.
- Its P/E is 25.2% below the 17.4x median of the 3 other travel services companies we track (BKNG, RCL, NCLH).
- CCL's 30-day volatility, 45.3% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 2.9%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 2.46: over five years of monthly returns, CCL moved about 2.46% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
What would change the read
- The rebound holds while it closes above the 50-day average, $25.28 (−14.5%); it becomes an uptrend when the 50-day climbs 7.2% to cross the 200-day at $27.11.
- A close above $34.03 (+15.0%) would be a new 1-year high; below $21.45 (−27.5%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for CCL, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
- Peers are the other companies Yahoo Finance files under travel services among the assets we track, not a full industry screen; the median counts those with a positive P/E.
