Is Carnival stock undervalued or overvalued?
Valuing Carnival stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Carnival's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Carnival's P/E ratio
Carnival's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 23x. In other words, Carnival shares trade at around 23x 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 stock or simply that they're under-valued.
Carnival's PEG ratio
Carnival'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 stocks offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Carnival's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Carnival's EBITDA
Carnival's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $5.9 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Carnival's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Have Carnival's stocks ever split?
Carnival's stocks 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 stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Carnival stocks, which in turn could have impacted Carnival's stock price.
Carnival stock price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Carnival's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $13.78 up to $27.165. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta."
Beta is a measure of a stocks volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Carnival's is 2.668. This would suggest that Carnival's stocks are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
