Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted July 21, 2022 #2277 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Oh boy... CCL offered another 1 billion in common stock after close and dropped 10%. RCL and NCL dropped 5% after the announcement. Tomorrow could prove to have lots of movement. T Carnival Corporation & plc (NYSE/LSE: CCL; NYSE: CUK), today announced that Carnival Corporation (the "Company") has commenced an underwritten public offering of $1,000,000,000 of shares of common stock of the Company. The Company intends to grant the underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to $150,000,000 of additional shares of common stock of the Company. The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which could include addressing 2023 debt maturities.Read more at: https://www.lelezard.com/en/news-20486138.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is good day for the cruise industry!! Closing out your shorts is likely a prudent (and profitable) move. Congrats by the why. I'm not considering going long just yet even with some speculative 'play' money. The Macro head winds combined with RCL's financial leverage and the limited upside for the stock are making me take a wait and see attitude. I think the upside for this stock is limited because if and when the stock goes back to $60 or $90 per share we could see a huge new equity issue done to repair the balance sheet. That would be good for the corporation's financial health in the long term but it would also massively dilute the equity shareholders and limit the upside for the stock.

I didn't close the shorts yet. With the news of CCL offering the common stock I've made a good bit of cash overnight. CCL is down nearly 15% while RCL and NCL are down around 10%. Like you said, I do think there is still room to move down but I don't want to be greedy either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, they all move in sync and have since the pandemic. It makes things a bit easier for the day traders lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not very amazing at all. For most industries, the stocks of the various company's stocks move in sync with each other because Macro forces have the same affect on each company in the industry. The differences occur due to various qualities of management, gaining or loosing market share, and individual company financial leverage. For the cruise industry they all have similar weak financials (to varying degrees), fairly stable market shares, and the quality of management, based on reading the posts around here, seem to be equally as bad. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaflorida Posted July 21, 2022 #2286 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Cruise stocks are down today because Carnival announced yesterday after the close, that they are issuing another 1 billion dollars worth of new stock. The cruise lines have a TON of debt and have already issued millions of new shares since the pandemic started. The earnings per share are going downhill quickly with so many additional shares issued. Financially speaking, the cruise stocks are literally a shell of what they once were pre-pandemic. I honestly believe that if there was any more cruise no sale orders in the future, the cruise lines probably would BK with such massive debt.

Baron Barracuda Posted July 21, 2022 #2287 Share Posted July 21, 2022 RCL will report earnings in just two weeks on August 3rd. Suggest anyone tempted to invest hold off until then to hear what Jason Liberty has to say. Three months ago Liberty was upbeat on the outlook for '22 and '23, expecting to turn cash flow positive soon and maybe turn a profit in q4. Interested to hear if he has tempered his enthusiasm. As far as potential stock issuance, going into q2 common equity for RCL was down to $4B after losing $1B+ in each of the prior two quarters. Another big loss would almost certainly force them to issue a large amount of stock, likely at prices lower than today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, avoid temptation for at least a few more weeks. I would be shocked if RCL and NCL don't have to follow suit and dilute also.

Biker19 Posted July 28, 2022 #2296 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Royal Caribbean Group said it now expects a loss in the second half of the year, citing increases in fuel costs, interest rates and foreign-exchange rates. In May, the cruise company said it expected to return to net profit for the second half of the year. The company did forecast a return to profitability, on an adjusted basis, for the third quarter. That would mark its first profitable quarter since the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent government regulations cooled demand for cruising. For the current quarter, the company said it expects revenue between $2.9 billion and $3 billion on adjusted earnings of 5 cents a share to 25 cents a share. The guidance is based on current currency-exchange rates, fuel costs and interest rates. The company said it expects about $319 million in fuel costs for the third quarter, net of hedging. Booking volumes for the recently ended quarter averaged 30% above comparable 2019 levels, with even greater strength in July, the company said. Load factors, or occupancy, in the second half of the year are still below historical levels and are expected to finish at about 95% in the third quarter.

Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted July 28, 2022 #2299 Share Posted July 28, 2022 People are buying these headlines today: "Royal Caribbean sees return to profitability in second quarter" "Royal Caribbean's loss narrows as cruise bookings rebound" But the devil is in the details. Interest rates and fuel cost continue to hinder any long range progress: "Royal Caribbean Now Expects Loss in Second Half of 2022" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
