Is Carnival Corporation stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Carnival Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Carnival Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Carnival Corporation's P/E ratio
Carnival Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 22x. In other words, Carnival Corporation shares trade at around 22x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Carnival Corporation's PEG ratio
Carnival Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.41. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Carnival Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Carnival Corporation's EBITDA
Carnival Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $5.9 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Carnival Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Carnival Corporation share dividends
We're not expecting Carnival Corporation to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Have Carnival Corporation's shares ever split?
Carnival Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 14 June 1998 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Carnival Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Carnival Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Carnival Corporation's share price.
Carnival Corporation share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Carnival Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $13.78 up to $25.6. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Carnival Corporation's is 2.668. This would suggest that Carnival Corporation's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
