Key Points

  • MarketBeat’s screener flags five Leisure stocks with the highest recent dollar trading volume: Carnival (CCL), Royal Caribbean (RCL), Airbnb (ABNB), Life Time Group (LTH), and Norwegian Cruise Line (NCLH).
  • Leisure stocks are largely consumer discretionary and tend to be cyclical and seasonal, meaning their performance is sensitive to economic conditions and consumer confidence, which affects growth, volatility, and income characteristics.
  • The list is cruise-heavy—three of the five names are cruise operators—and MarketBeat highlights Royal Caribbean as notably strong, linking to coverage that it’s “cruising toward a new all-time high.”
  • Five stocks to consider instead of Carnival.

Carnival, Royal Caribbean Cruises, Airbnb, Life Time Group, and Norwegian Cruise Line are the five Leisure stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Leisure stocks are equities of companies whose primary businesses provide recreational, entertainment, and travel-related goods or services — for example hotels, casinos, cruise lines, theme parks, airlines, sports and entertainment operators, and leisure-focused retailers. They’re generally classified as consumer discretionary and tend to be cyclical and seasonal, showing sensitivity to economic conditions and consumer confidence, which affects their growth prospects, volatility, and income characteristics.
