joepeka Posted August 27, 2020 #1 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Not sure this is really much of a needle mover since it represents only about 1% of total RCCL outstanding shares but it is the company that founded Royal Caribbean so you may wonder: https://www.cruiseindustrynews.com/cruise-news/23430-major-royal-caribbean-stakeholder-unloads-2-million-shares.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted August 27, 2020 #2 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Maybe they needed some cash to buy some used cruise ships cheap. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare livingonthebeach Posted August 27, 2020 #3 Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) The company still owns 18 million shares after the sale of the 2 million and the stock has gone up 6 percent since the sale so not much of an impact. Arne Wilhelmsen passed away this past April and maybe the heirs have a different view of where to place their funds. If they start selling the remaining 18 million then I think there should be cause for concern. This is a good site to monitor insider trading. https://www.secform4.com/insider-trading/884887.htm Edited August 27, 2020 by livingonthebeach 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, I neglected to mention that the 2M shares represents less than 10% of that company's RCCL holdings and it's another reason I don't think it's a major deal.

Nonetheless, it's worth noting because it could be the beginning of a divestiture for the company. Since they owned 20 million shares before the sale, dumping that much at one time would depend on liquidity and would influence the price - they could be divesting by a few blocks at a time.

yogimax Posted August 28, 2020 #6 Share Posted August 28, 2020 In general, insider purchases are much more important than insider sales. Nonetheless, this is something to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is nonetheless an important signal of fundamental shift. Some pain is ahead. Don't underestimate the 10% sale. When the share price drop by another 40%, it would be big money to buy back. Obviously it is a hedging for future drops. Long term funding share holder won't sell 10% of their holdings unless they think some big movement ahead. See livingonthebeach's post above. This is most likely a move by the heirs to diversify or liquidate for estate reasons. Such trades are typical of estates when patriarch dies. Dutch estate taxes are 20%.

chengkp75 Posted August 28, 2020 #9 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Apparently, the sale bought out the only non-family owner of the Awilhelmsen AS group, so this private investment company is now 100% owned by the Wilhelmsen family. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTCruiser76 Posted August 28, 2020 #13 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Yeah, the stock is definitely not performing like many of us had thought with no ships sailing. May current thought is the same as your, right now this is a $50 dollar stock until cruising starts again. Plan on buying back in when (if) it gets there......

Rare Tree_skier Posted August 28, 2020 #17 Share Posted August 28, 2020 This is a minor transaction in the overall scheme of things and if it weren't for other things going on wouldn't have even made a ripple in the investment water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
