Mizuho raised the firm’s price target on Carnival to $25 from $22 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The firm says Carnival continues to be its top pick in the leisure group. The analyst sees upside from lower fuel prices as the company has no hedges and upside from currency moves. Mizuho also sees upside to Carnival’s core underlying trends from strong yield growth and improving operating leverage. The shares offer a compelling free cash flow and deleveraging opportunity, contend the firm.
