Carnival Corp. (CCL) is named the Bull of the Day by Zacks Equity Research, with record bookings in 2025 and a strong 2026 outlook. Meanwhile, General Mills Inc. (GIS) is the Bear of the Day, facing stagnant demand and stiff competition. PayPal Holdings (PYPL) deepens its crypto involvement, while Block, Inc. and Coinbase Global expand in the crypto space.

CCL shares show relative strength and a technical breakout, outperforming the S&P 500 Index. With record bookings extending into 2026 and consistent earnings surprises, CCL is well-positioned for long-term growth. GIS, on the other hand, faces challenges from consumer preferences and competition, resulting in poor stock performance.

PayPal’s expansion of its stablecoin PYUSD to multiple blockchains and strategic partnerships with Coinbase enhances its crypto ambitions. Zacks Consensus Estimates show positive trends in PayPal’s stock performance and valuation, with PYPL trading cheap and expected EPS growth in 2025 and 2026.

Block, Inc. joins the S&P 500 with a focus on Bitcoin and Square Crypto initiative, while Coinbase Global expands its services and supports stablecoins. Zacks Investment Research highlights their top stock picks with the highest probability of gaining over 100% in the coming months, emphasizing opportunities for growth in the market.
