Carnival has gained +40% since my first article, where I highlighted that 60% upside was possible due to FCF growth and debt repayment. The basis of the analysis is the relationship between Enterprise Value and Market Cap, with debt repayment expected to transfer value from bondholders back to shareholders. Carnival generated more FCF than I expected in FY '24, which is a positive tailwind for future years. My updated forecast sees no issue in terms of debt repayment.

Risks include potential impacts from new tariffs, lack of long-term contracts, dependency on key suppliers like Apple and HP, and low operating margins.

Technical analysis indicates LYB is at critical support levels, suggesting a 'buy the dip' opportunity ahead of the Q4 earnings report.
