Down 59%, Is Carnival Stock a Once-in-a-Generation Investment Opportunity?

Key Points Carnival is experiencing robust demand that's driving continued revenue growth. Soaring profits are helping the business improve its debt profile, reducing financial risk for investors. Even after the stock's strong performance, the valuation is below the market average. 10 stocks we like better than Carnival Corp. › Carnival (NYSE: CCL)(NYSE: CUK) was decimated when the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020, as operations were halted to help stop the spread of the virus. Revenue tanked, and the business had to take on more debt to survive with the fate of the economy being a big unknown. However, Carnival is firing on all cylinders these days. This travel stock has soared 202% in the past three years (as of July 22). But shares still trade a gut-wrenching 59% off their peak. At the current price, is Carnival a once-in-a-generation investment opportunity? Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Smooth sailing As the economy opened back up and consumer behavior normalized following the early days of the health crisis, there was robust demand for travel. The cruise industry has benefited tremendously, with Carnival posting strong financial performance. After sales hit a low of $1.9 billion in fiscal 2021, they came roaring back. Fiscal 2024's revenue of $25 billion was 13 times higher than that total three years prior. And in the most recent quarter (Q2 2025 ended May 31), Carnival registered an 8.6% top-line gain. In fact, the sales figure was a Q2 record. "Our guests continue to look to us as their preferred vacation choice given the amazing experiences our cruise lines provide," CEO Josh Weinstein said in a press release. However, the current economic climate, one where uncertainty is the key word, isn't making things easy. Throw in President Donald Trump's unpredictable trade policies and ongoing geopolitical turmoil, and it makes sense people are pulling back spending. The cruise industry, however, is positioned to continue its success. One reason why is that it's doing a great job attracting younger travelers -- who could become lifelong customers -- as well as first-time cruise goers. And compared to land-based travel alternatives, cruises are generally viewed as providing more bang for your buck. Then there's the fact that spending on cruises makes up less than 3% of the entire global travel industry, leaving upside for further growth. Carnival's improving financial situation With revenue continuing to climb at a healthy clip, Carnival is also posting consistent and rising profitability. Operating income totaled $934 million in the second quarter, another record. It's wild to think that four years ago, during Q2 2021, the company registered an operating loss of $1.5 billion. Things have certainly turned around for the better, which explains why the stock has performed so well. Wall Street expects the good times to keep rolling. The consensus analyst forecast is for Carnival's earnings per share to increase at a compound annual rate of 22.2% between fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2027. Despite huge gains in recent years, this outlook is very encouraging for investors who undoubtedly want to see continued expansion as we look ahead. Improving profitability is helping Carnival fix its financial situation. This means it's been able to slowly reduce its massive debt burden, which now stands at $27.3 billion. The company has refinanced $7 billion worth of debt so far this year. Two major credit ratings agencies have also upgraded Carnival's debt, which is a clear indication of reduced financial risk. Not a once-in-a-generation play Carnival's business continues to perform well, and the future looks bright. The current valuation is also reasonable, with the market asking investors to pay a price-to-earnings ratio of 16 to buy the stock. This represents a substantial discount to the S&P 500 index. However, the stock isn't a once-in-a-generation investment opportunity right now. While Carnival's shares have a good shot at outperforming the market over the next five years, I don't believe it's going to produce life-changing results over the next few decades. That being said, investors could still consider buying Carnival stock. Should you invest $1,000 in Carnival Corp. right now? Before you buy stock in Carnival Corp., consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Carnival Corp. wasn't one of them.

Best Stock to Buy Right Now: Amazon vs. Opendoor Technologies

Key Points A hedge fund manager believes Opendoor could go to $82 per share over the coming years. Amazon doesn't have nearly as much upside, but is already a proven winner. 10 stocks we like better than Opendoor Technologies › Wall Street thought struggling real estate e-commerce company Opendoor Technologies (NASDAQ: OPEN) was down and out. Suddenly, the stock has surged over 500% in less than a month. What's going on? A hedge fund manager recently announced an investment in the stock via social media, setting an $82 price target for shares that ignited interest in a company that has struggled in a slow housing market. But is it wiser to chase the momentum, or to look to a proven e-commerce winner in Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) instead? Let's take a closer look at Opendoor's prospects and determine which of these two hot growth stocks is the better buy right now. Is Opendoor Technologies poised for a comeback? Opendoor Technologies aimed to become the housing market's version of Amazon with iBuying, a process by which a company buys and resells homes through an online marketplace. The company went public via a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merger in late 2020, amid a period of 0% interest rates that ultimately led to high inflation and prompted the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates aggressively. The resulting spike in mortgage rates (plus already higher home prices) slammed the brakes on the housing market, creating tremendous problems for Opendoor, which took significant losses on homes it struggled to sell for a profit. Opendoor's stock has cratered since then as losses continue. Hedge fund manager Eric Jackson elaborated in his post on X that he believes the company's cost-cutting, pivot to partnering with agents, and lack of direct competitors offer a path to significant upside over the coming years, comparing it to the remarkable turnaround that Carvana achieved. Over the last month, my X impressions have exploded talking about $BTQQF $IREN and $CIFR because everyone is looking for the next $CVNA. We think we just found another. @EMJCapital has taken a position in $OPEN -- and we believe it could be a 100-bagger over the next few years.... -- Eric Jackson (@ericjackson) July 14, 2025 Eric Jackson acknowledges the risks associated with Opendoor stock, but setting such a high target for a company has spiked investor interest in the stock, sending it soaring. Amazon offers far more certainty, though it's probably not a 100-bagger anymore Amazon, one of the world's most prominent companies, is a safer stock to own. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. But Amazon's massive $2.4 trillion market capitalization also means it has nowhere near the upside potential Opendoor does. That said, the company still has room for growth. E-commerce accounts for less than a fifth of total retail spending in the United States, and Amazon's lucrative cloud unit, Amazon Web Services (AWS), is poised to grow significantly over the coming decade and beyond as artificial intelligence (AI) drives increased cloud usage. Analysts estimate Amazon will grow earnings by an average of 21% annually over the next three to five years. Assuming the stock's valuation remains the same, that growth would double the stock price in just under four years. That's no 100-bagger, but most investors would probably take those returns with a smile. Sometimes, a bird in the hand is worth 100 in the bush Comparing two very different e-commerce stocks boils down to this: The probability that Amazon doubles in value over the next three to five years is far greater than the probability that Opendoor increases by 100 times. Opendoor's core iBuying business is steadily dragging the company down, steadily depleting the company's book value. OPEN Tangible Book Value (Quarterly) data by YCharts The iBuying process is a low-margin business model that ties up a significant amount of capital while unsold houses sit on the balance sheet. Opendoor isn't buying and reselling inventory fast enough, or fleshing out its iBuying model with enough higher-margin add-on services to make the company sustainable to this point. It could remain an uphill battle in a slow housing market plagued by affordability issues. The idea of an Amazon-like e-commerce experience for real estate sounds good at first, but it hasn't translated to business success. Until something changes here, Opendoor faces substantial risks that make it hard to justify buying the stock at a premium to its book value. It's like playing the lottery. Someone, somewhere, may win, but it's a terrible way to try and make money. I don't know how high Opendoor may go. The market has become quite euphoric, which bodes well for speculative behavior. Opendoor announces earnings on Aug. 5. The company needs to deliver solid, or at least improving, business fundamentals; otherwise, the stock could easily reverse course rather quickly. What I do know is that Amazon is the superior business and the better growth stock to buy right now. It's not even close. Should you invest $1,000 in Opendoor Technologies right now?

Billionaires Sell Apple Stock and Buy a Stock-Split Stock Up 510% in the Last Decade

Key Points In the first quarter, billionaires David Shaw and Louis Bacon sold Apple and bought O'Reilly Automotive, a stock-split stock up 510% in the last decade. Apple is struggling to incorporate artificial intelligence into its business, and the company has gone seven-plus years without a groundbreaking new product. O'Reilly Automotive could be a winner as President Trump's tariffs encourage consumers to service older vehicles rather than purchasing new ones. 10 stocks we like better than Apple › The hedge fund billionaires listed below sold Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) during the first quarter and bought O'Reilly Automotive (NASDAQ: ORLY), a company whose share price rocketed 510% over the last decade, leading to a 15-for-1 stock split in early June. David Shaw's D.E. Shaw & Co. sold 340,900 shares of Apple, trimming its stake by 6%. The hedge fund also added 19,000 shares of O'Reilly Automotive, though it remains a very small holding. Louis Bacon's Moore Capital Management sold 495,800 shares of Apple, cutting its stake 97%. The hedge fund also purchased 240 shares of O'Reilly Automotive, starting a very small position. Importantly, both hedge funds still have exposure to Apple, and neither has an especially large position in O'Reilly Automotive. But investors should still consider both trades for their own portfolios. Here's why. 1. Apple Apple has durable brand moat built on design expertise that spans hardware and software. The company once again led the market in smartphone revenue in the March quarter, and it posted double-digit sales growth in its services segment due to strength in advertising, the App Store, and cloud storage. But its overall performance was still uninspiring. Revenue rose 5% to $95 billion, and generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) net income climbed 5% to $24.8 billion. Importantly, Apple has struggled to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into its business. Analysts thought the suite of generative AI features added last year (i.e., Apple Intelligence) would catalyze a massive iPhone upgrade cycle, but the consumer response has so far been underwhelming, perhaps because the company has repeatedly delayed highly anticipated AI upgrades to its digital assistant Siri. Apple's failure to monetize AI speaks to a larger problem: The company has seemingly lost its capacity for innovation. After a long stint of very successful product launches -- the iPhone in 2007, the iPad in 2010, the Apple Watch in 2015, and AirPods in 2017 -- Apple has now gone seven-plus years without a noteworthy new product. And its inability to capitalize on soaring demand for AI is a troubling continuation of that pattern. Wall Street expects Apple's earnings to increase at 11% annually over the next three years. That already makes the current valuation of 33 times earnings look expensive, but analysts may be overestimating. Apple's earnings compounded at less than 2% annually during the last three years despite the company repurchasing 8% of its outstanding shares. Put differently, had Apple not repurchased any stock during the last three years, earnings would have declined nearly 5% in that period. And with no clear catalysts on the horizon, earnings growth is likely to be meager in the coming years. Investors should avoid the stock right now, and shareholders with especially large positions should consider trimming. 2. O'Reilly Automotive O'Reilly Automotive is one of the largest specialty retailers of aftermarket automative parts, tools, equipment, and accessories. The company operates more than 6,400 stores across North America, serving both do-it-yourself (DIY) and professional customers. It also has a robust distribution network that allows "timely access to a broad range of products," which helps the company retain customers. Importantly, while O'Reilly will be impacted by tariffs on imported automobiles and parts, duties imposed by the Trump administration could actually be a net win for the company. That's because the 25% tax on imported automobiles will raise car prices, encouraging consumers to service older vehicles rather than purchasing new ones. Furthermore, the average interest rate on U.S. auto loans has almost doubled in the last four years. O'Reilly reported encouraging Q2 financial results. Revenue rose 6% to $4.5 billion, driven by 67 new store openings and 4.1% same-store sales growth. Meanwhile, GAAP earnings jumped 11% to $0.78 per diluted share, outpacing revenue growth because the company repurchased 6.8 million shares. Management also raised full-year guidance, such that earnings are forecast to increase 9% in 2025. Wall Street expects O'Reilly's earnings to increase at 10% annually during the next three to five years. That makes the current valuation of 36 times earnings look relatively expensive. Nevertheless, I think investors should consider buying a small position in this stock today. And if the share price declines, they should consider building a bigger position at a more reasonable valuation multiple. Should you invest $1,000 in Apple right now? Before you buy stock in Apple, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Apple wasn't one of them.
