Carnival Corporation Named to America’s Growth Leaders 2027
World’s largest cruise company earns spot on TIME list of top-performing public companies in U.S.
MIAMI (Oct. 22, 2026) – Carnival Corporation (NYSE: CCL), the world’s largest cruise company, was named to TIME’s second annual list of America’s Growth Leaders 2027, distinguishing the company for outstanding growth, performance and business momentum.
Presented by TIME and market research firm Statista, America’s Growth Leaders were determined through an analysis of publicly traded companies headquartered in the U.S. Each company was evaluated based on revenue growth, stock performance and financial stability indicators like profit, Piotroski F-Score and Altman Z-Score – two scorecards for financial strength that track improvement and stability. The data collected was then weighted within a scoring model from one to 100 points, from which the top 500 best-performing companies were selected.
“Being named one of TIME’s America’s Growth Leaders is another indicator that our strategy is working, and in the process we are building an even stronger, higher-performing business,” said Josh Weinstein, CEO of Carnival Corporation. “More than anything, it’s proof that our 160,000 talented team members are amazing at what they do, delivering unforgettable happiness to over 13.5 million guests this year by providing them with extraordinary cruise vacations, while honoring the integrity of every ocean we sail, place we visit and life we touch.”
The recognition among America’s Growth Leaders kicks off Carnival Corporation’s 2027 honors and builds on the momentum from this year. To date for 2026, the company has earned more than 20 accolades for its business performance, workplace culture and leadership, and environmental and social responsibility from publications and organizations around the world. Among the numerous awards, the company was named to Fortune’s list of the World’s Most Admired Companies for the second consecutive year, as a leading example for corporate responsibility, business excellence and innovation.
