Carnival Corp reported better-than-expected earnings per share, which is a positive sign for the company. However, the stock fell by 2.06% on the day, likely due to the lack of revenue data and no guidance provided for future performance. Investors may be cautious given the ongoing market challenges despite the earnings beat.
