If we already received the stock credits on upcoming cruises and sell the stock, do you know what happens to the credits we already received?

firefly333 Posted April 12 #2853 Share Posted April 12 (edited) Oil green today and iran still a worry. As a interesting sidenote, this last unemployment numbers showed number of foreign born who got new jobs. Never seen this emphasized before. Twice as many foreign born got jobs as nationals who lost jobs. The fed keeps citing how tight the labor market is when they are debating rate cuts. Adding in "foreign born" who took new jobs is kinda like "hey dummies... of course the labor market is tight and going to stay that way with new workers coming in. I think the fed might have to change its thought process a bit. Inflation isnt tamed is also echoing thru the market. Higher oil and higher interest rates weigh on rcl. Yes I've read rcl hedges oil out 6 months, dont know if still true... but people trade on emotions. Risks. One other bit is they made drilling in the Yukon or wherever it's called more expensive by a LOT. Huge jump in price to drill and they have to pay royalties, not sure who to, but oil under pressure from this news.

john91498 Posted April 12 #2856 Share Posted April 12 Interesting responses. I've made lots of money in the market and I've lost lots of money. The market paid for my house and a few of my toys including my Corvette. Sometimes, it's more lucky that being good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefly333 Posted April 18 #2859 Share Posted April 18 Another analyst has a new target of 164 out yesterday morning. Mazxxxx forgot the name. Oil sold off yesterday during the day, rcl inverse reaction. Went from red to green and moving green today. I dont see the price increases like in the past, by next year will have trouble replicating the 40% yoy this year. But for now growth is going to show great.

I’ve been active in the stock market for over 35 years, and with all the due diligence I’ve done, yoy has never shown up. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare livingonthebeach Posted April 19 #2863 Share Posted April 19 IDK but these past few weeks haven't been kind to the stock market. Glad I only bought RCL for the OBC only. Not investing any more on anything until things settle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would write yoy, this year? That makes it this year only. Where did I say I watch every single stock on the stock market? If I find one I might be interested in, I do a deep dive, and it confirms my feeling I buy, if not I pass. This strategy has worked very well over the past 35 years. It allowed me to retire at 55. I’ve not paid a penny interest on anything since 1985, and my mrd from my 401k, investment income is almost double the total of my pension and my wife’s and mine social security. And we lived the “life of Riley” the whole time, we have everything we want and did everything we wanted to do. Amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I would say the 12 month targets are higher than pre covid when they had a lot less debt, though prices sure are higher. Some of these beats on earnings I hear from various companies are beating top and bottom line, then you listen and it's because they raised prices, not because they sold more widgets, or whatever, it's based on higher prices which people are now pushing back against. I personally know these rcl price hikes cant continue at this rate, so they year over year and growth will die back as comparisons become harder year over year and yes I do look at year over year.

September 8, 7 day cruise is going for half the price of its all time high since it was listed after discounts. Was as high as $1,200 per person including tax and is now about $670 (interior, I was able to select the room and it was a virtual balcony on the 8th deck forward) today. Not as low as the first year post Covid but not able to sustain the 250% increases I have seen over the past 14 months. Long term cruisers are still booking immediately but they are not filling in the last 30% of cabins in the shoulder season. RCI did not have any shoulder seasons in 2023 and looks strong until the end of summer this year. The Fall is starting to look more traditional with reduced prices. I think this will definitely affect stock growth as opposed to the recent gains. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac66 Posted April 25 #2869 Share Posted April 25 Just an FYI, I bought RCL stock when it was low, sold it when it was higher. I'd have to take 77 more cruises to make up the difference in OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Barracuda Posted April 25 #2870 Share Posted April 25 Earnings appear excellent. Even Jason Liberty called them WOW in earnings announcement. Net yields up from 1.02 to 1.07, turned a profit in seasonally weak quarter and raised full year guidance. Interest expense down from $400MM/qtr to around $300MM. LTD balance continues to shrink and $1B+ in debt refinanced from 11% to 6%. Bookings and net yields strong. Capacity will increase 8% this year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this will definitely affect stock growth as opposed to the recent gains. I've also noticed a little softness in pricing for extra in the cruise planner. Things like the Cococay beach club and the water park, while not down to where they were just post covid, have definitely settled lower. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare livingonthebeach Posted April 26 #2872 Share Posted April 26 RCL trading in the $140 range - back to all time highs. Great come back from the $19 pandemic low! Got in just for the OBC and got a great price boost to boot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare DaKahuna Posted April 26 #2874 Share Posted April 26 The stock closed at $140.59, up $3.12 a share today. Loving all those shares I purchased in 2020 as the priced dropped due to ships not being allowed to sail. At least I can say something good came from the pandemic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people truly benefited from the Pandemic, i.e. Big Pharma, PPE suppliers (masks, sanitizer, germ killers) not to mention toilet paper and paper towel makers. Some really gauged people who were vulnerable. But buying stock at lower prices benefited not only the stockholder but helped get Royal get back on its feet. You did very well for yourself and in a good way. Congrats! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
