What is Carnival Corporation & worth?

The stock is currently trading at US$43.56 on the share market, which means it is overvalued by 44% compared to my intrinsic value of $30.19. This means that the buying opportunity has probably disappeared for now. If you like the stock, you may want to keep an eye out for a potential price decline in the future. Since Carnival Corporation &’s share price is quite volatile, this could mean it can sink lower (or rise even further) in the future, giving us another chance to invest.

Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has well and truly priced in CCL’s positive outlook, with shares trading above its fair value.
