CCL's fundamentals outpace peers, posting 6% revenue and 47% EPS growth over the past year, yet valuation lags competitors like RCL and RRR. High leverage and interest expense remain concerns, but potential Fed easing could catalyze a rerating by reducing financial burdens. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
