Carnival "buy"

15.03.07 - Panmure Gordon & Co

LONDON, March 15 (newratings.com) - Analysts at Panmure Gordon maintain their "buy" rating on Carnival Plc (CCL-GBX). The 12-month target price is set to 3200p.

In a research note published this morning, the analysts mention that the company is expected to report its full-year EPS at $3.14. Carnival may beat expectations going ahead on account of a shift of capacity to Europe and a more robust late booking market in North America, the analysts say.
