Shares of companies in the broader consumer discretionary sector are trading lower amid trade war escalations and President Trump's sweeping tariffs, which are leading to a decline in consumer confidence. Some economists also predict that households will experience higher costs of goods as a result of these policies.

Carnival Corporation&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCL#NYSE">CCL</a>) share price dropped on Monday after the company confirmed an order for two new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n44660777/carnival-corporation-finalizes-agreement-with-fincantieri-for-two-next-generation-aida-cruises-shi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">vessels for its German brand</a>.
Under the agreement with Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri, the ships—designed to run on multiple fuel types—will be constructed and are scheduled for delivery in the first quarters of fiscal years 2030 and 2032.
These ships will represent a new class of mid-sized cruise liners. CEO Josh Weinstein noted that with the latest order, Carnival Corporation now has a total of eight new ships in its construction pipeline, slated for delivery through 2033.
This includes the Star Princess, set to debut this year. One new vessel will follow each year from 2027 through 2033.
Felix Eichhorn, president of Rostock, Germany-based AIDA Cruises, said the ships have approximately 2,100 cabins each.
On Saturday, Carnival Cruise unveiled a series of upcoming initiatives aimed at enhancing guest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n44659147/carnival-cruise-line-unveils-an-exciting-innovation-itinerary-of-new-ships-fleet-enhancements-depl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">experiences over the next five years</a>.
These plans include the introduction of new ships, fleet upgrades, strategic deployment changes, and exclusive destinations.
The Carnival Festivale is expected to launch in spring 2027 from Port Canaveral, Florida.
The company also announced that its fifth Excel-class vessel, Carnival Tropicale, will be delivered in spring 2028.
Going forward, Carnival plans to develop a new class of mega-ships under the Project Ace initiative. Each weighs 230,000 gross tons and is scheduled for delivery in 2029, 2031, and 2033.

Shares of travel and tourism-related companies are trading lower as global markets continue to decline following President Trump's announcement of sweeping tariffs.

Shares of Carnival Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCL#NYSE">CCL</a>) have tumbled 14.5% to $16.33 since Monday&#8217;s open as President Donald Trump&#8217;s new reciprocal tariffs sent shockwaves through global markets, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44647678/nasdaq-100-enters-bear-market-dow-in-correction-territory-traders-await-fed-chair-powells-remarks">stoking concerns</a> of an economic slowdown that could hit the travel industry hard.
Why It Matters: As the world's largest cruise operator, Carnival is particularly vulnerable to economic downturns and rising operational costs—both of which are being amplified by the escalating trade war.
Operating renowned brands like Princess Cruises, Holland America Line and Seabourn, Carnival depends heavily on discretionary consumer spending and international travel.
However, with tariffs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44621408/market-access-has-a-price-trump-unveils-list-of-tariffs-countries-targeted">expected to drive up</a> prices on goods and services, vacation budgets may tighten, leading to weaker cruise bookings. At the same time, higher import costs for fuel, food and ship maintenance could further squeeze profit margins.
Bigger Risks Ahead?: Beyond cost concerns, retaliatory measures from key markets—notably the European Union—pose another significant risk. 
If trade tensions slow global economic growth, consumer confidence could erode, further pressuring demand for leisure travel.

Carnival Stock Is Down 14% This Week: What's Going On?

President Donald Trump's sweeping new trade tariffs sent shockwaves through global markets on Thursday, triggering a massive sell-off that echoed the COVID-19 pandemic-era routs, as investor risk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">appetite vanished in a flash.</a>
Wall Street saw a staggering $2 trillion in market cap erased, with the U.S.&#8217;s biggest 10 companies shedding $1 trillion alone.
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) plunged 8.7%, staring down its worst day since March 2020 and wiping out nearly $300 billion in value. NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) tumbled 6.4%, losing $171.9 billion, while Amazon.com Inc.

The S&amp;P 500 fell nearly 4%, poised for its worst session since September 2022, and sank to a seven-month low. Small caps took the brunt of the sell-off, with the Russell 2000 plunging over 5% and officially entering a bear market, now down more than 20% from its 2024 peak.
Fears of retaliatory action from key U.S. trading partners dragged every major sector into the red, except for defensive plays like consumer staples and utilities.
Consumer discretionary stocks were slammed. Apparel names posted double-digit losses: Ralph Lauren Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RL#NYSE">RL</a>), Nike Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>), Lululemon Athletica Inc.

Cruise lines were also hit hard: Norwegian Cruise Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCLH#NYSE">NCLH</a>) sank 13%, Carnival Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCL#NYSE">CCL</a>) fell 10%, and Royal Caribbean Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>) slid 9%.
Bond markets saw a mild flight to safety. Treasury yields edged lower, yet the U.S. dollar weakened 1.6%, with the DXY index heading for its worst day since November 2022.
Commodities weren't spared. Oil prices nosedived on fears of a global slowdown, worsened by OPEC+'s surprise move to raise output. West Texas Intermediate crude plunged 7.5%, slipping below $70 per barrel.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) showed relative resilience in the carnage, dipping just 1% and holding above $81,600.

Shares of travel and tourism-related companies are trading lower amid heavy selling pressure as markets react to President Trump's announcement of sweeping reciprocal tariffs.

Carnival Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCL#NYSE">CCL</a>) plunged 12.5% to $17.52 Thursday morning as President Donald Trump's newly imposed reciprocal tariffs rattled global markets and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44621408/market-access-has-a-price-trump-unveils-list-of-tariffs-countries-targeted">raised fears</a> of an economic slowdown that could hurt the travel industry.
What To Know: As the world's largest cruise operator, Carnival is particularly exposed to economic downturns and rising costs, both of which could be exacerbated by the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44624245/tariffs-to-plug-the-hole-for-income-tax-cuts-to-come-economists-predict-what-more-could-be-expected">escalating</a> trade war.
Carnival, which operates brands such as Princess Cruises, Holland America Line and Seabourn, relies heavily on discretionary consumer spending and international travel. 
With tariffs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44623179/larry-summers-warns-trumps-tariffs-will-deliver-oil-crisis-like-shock-slash-30-trillion-from-economy-as-markets-plunge">expected</a> to drive up prices on goods and services, vacation budgets may shrink, leading to softer cruise bookings. Additionally, higher import costs for fuel, food and ship maintenance could weigh on Carnival's profit margins.
Another major concern is the potential for retaliatory measures from key markets such as China and the European Union, both of which are important sources of cruise passengers. If trade tensions dampen global economic growth, consumer confidence could take a hit, further pressuring demand for leisure travel.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy CCL Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Carnival &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.
In the case of Carnival, which is trading at $20.02 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 5.0 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, CCL has a 52-week high of $28.72 and a 52-week low of $13.78.

What's Going On With Carnival Stock?

A 10% decline in Canadian travel may result in 2 million fewer visits and $2.1 billion in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel">lost spending to the U.S.</a> 
That&#8217;s according to Goldman Sachs analyst Lizzie Dove, citing <a href="https://www.ustravel.org/press/potential-results-decline-canadian-travel-united-states">data</a> from the U.S. Travel Association. Dove recently conducted a deep dive into Canadian tourist exposure for airlines, cruises, lodging, and theme parks.
Canada, she notes, accounts for 26% of U.S. international tourism. In March — three months after President Donald Trump dissed then-Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau by calling him "governor" and Canada as "the 51st state" — there was an 11% year-over-year decline in tourism. 
A &#8220;pullback in Canadian tourism is the most likely channel to create a modest drag on US GDP,&#8221; Dove wrote. 
In 2024, approximately 20.24 million Canadian tourists visited the U.S., making up over a quarter of international air travel. Mexico followed with around 17 million visitors. 
U.S. airlines have limited exposure to Canadian transborder markets, with United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) having the highest at 1.4% of total flights. 
Carriers like Allegiant Travel Co. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALGT#NASDAQ">ALGT</a>), Frontier, Southwest, and Spirit do not operate direct routes to Canada but may still feel demand softness in border cities, said the analyst. 
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44589543/ford-trucks-hit-20-year-sales-high-as-ev-demand-climbs">Ford Q1 US Auto Sales Dip 1.3%: Details</a>
Allegiant, for instance, serves U.S. border cities that rely on Canadian travelers, with these routes comprising 1.6% of its 2024 flights.
Florida, California, Nevada, New York, and Texas are top destinations for Canadian tourists, meaning airlines operating heavily in these states could see an impact. 
JetBlue Airways Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>) has 58% of its capacity in key Canadian tourist cities, though a large portion of this is tied to New York, which only accounts for 13% of Canadian visits.
United and Allegiant have recently reported weaker demand from Canadian travelers. In response, United accelerated the retirement of 21 aircraft. 
The overall U.S.-Canada air travel market has seen route cuts at twice the rate of non-Canada flights, with 210 basis points of Canadian growth being slashed since January. 
Allegiant, despite not flying to Canada, reduced flights from Plattsburgh by 20 percentage points due to weaker demand from Canadian travelers, significantly more than the 4.4-point cut to its broader network. However, reductions were smaller in Bellingham and Niagara Falls, at 1.7 and 2.0 points, respectively.
U.S. hotel corporations have minimal exposure to Canadian tourism, despite the high volume of Canadian visitors. Hyatt Hotels Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/H#NYSE">H</a>) has the highest exposure among major hotel chains, while Wyndham Hotels &amp; Resorts Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WH#NYSE">WH</a>) and Choice Hotels International Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHH#NYSE">CHH</a>) are the least affected due to their reliance on drive-to bookings.
Wyndham sees only 1% of its U.S. room bookings from Canadian travelers. Over 90% of guests drive to its hotels. Similarly, Marriott International Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAR#NASDAQ">MAR</a>) estimates just 1% of U.S. room nights come from Canada. Some 96% of its bookings originate from domestic travelers.
Hyatt, with a stronger focus on luxury and resort properties, derives approximately 2% of its U.S. bookings from Canadian visitors. Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HLT#NYSE">HLT</a>) also sees 1-1.5% of its U.S. room nights booked by Canadians, with 2% of its total rooms located in Canada.
Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCLH#NYSE">NCLH</a>) has the highest exposure to Canadian tourism among cruise operators, though overall reliance remains low. 
An estimated 5% of NCLH's revenue comes from Canadian travelers, followed by Royal Caribbean Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>) at 4% and Carnival Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCL#NYSE">CCL</a>) at 3.5%.
Hotel companies rely more heavily on domestic and business travelers, while cruise lines see slightly higher engagement from Canadian tourists.
Florida saw approximately 6 million international visitors in 2023, with around 1.3 million coming from Canada. Theme parks with high international attendance could feel the impact of a decline in Canadian visitors.
Comcast Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>) Universal theme parks are the most exposed, with around 30% of attendance coming from international tourists. 
Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) typically sees international visitors comprise between the high teens to low 20% of total guests, while United Parks &amp; Resorts Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PRKS#NYSE">PRKS</a>) has lower exposure at around 7%, down from pre-pandemic double-digit levels.
The financial impact extends beyond ticket sales. International visitors tend to spend more on park-related purchases, including hotel stays and in-park amenities, Dove said.

Tigress Financial Maintains Strong Buy on Carnival, Raises Price Target to $32

Shares of travel, leisure and retail companies are trading higher amid overall market strength on reports of potentially narrowed or targeted tariffs, which could ease some economic concerns.

Shares of Carnival Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCL#NYSE">CCL</a>) were climbing in early Monday trading after the company reported upbeat <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/contracts/25/03/44445996/lockheed-martin-shares-sink-after-major-us-air-force-contract-goes-to-boeing-what-to-know">fiscal first-quarter results</a>.
The quarterly results reflected the company's resilience, as it delivered a wide EBITDA beat despite "several weeks of macro uncertainty and choppy travel datapoints," according to Goldman Sachs.
The Carnival Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/647713f84d196600013124ad/lizzie-dove">Analyst Lizzie Dove</a> maintained a Buy rating, while reducing the price target from $35 to $32.
The Carnival Thesis: Despite macro concerns, Dove said in the note that the company kept its net yield outlook for the second and third quarters unchanged.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Carnival did raise the fiscal 2025 net yield guidance to reflect the first-quarter beat, which suggests that "the company feels confident in its booking trajectory and pricing power even despite some choppier trends," she added.
"CCL noted that there has been no deceleration in onboard trends, bookings are still higher y/y (even in luxury) and management is seeing particular strength in Europe," the analyst wrote.
She highlighted two tailwinds that are "underappreciated by investors."
<ul>
<li>Several Carnival brands that have turned around over the past few years are seeing "continued positive momentum."</li>
<li>The current macro challenges are primarily US-based, while Carnival has many European passengers traveling within Europe.</li>
</ul>
CCL Price Action: Carnival&#8217;s shares had risen 3.13% to $21.58 at the time of publication on Monday.
