Rare BlerkOne Posted August 18, 2022 #352 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I see Carnival has pushed out a chunk of debt by a year at no increase in interest (still 5.75% - a bargain). https://www.carnivalcorp.com/news-releases/news-release-details/carnival-corporation-plc-announces-extension-maturity-339 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is $339M or less than 1% of its outstanding debt. It actually is embarrassing that they were only able to convince 65% of the debtholders to do it as $183M of other debtholders didn't buy into the deal and remain due on original schedule. Seriously, this is a dire disclosure in that it, the transaction, is so small, with such secured, senior convertible notes, that they even would waste the legal and professional fees to do it. Seriously. And no, not every little bit helps. The do need "chunks" of debt to be refinanced. The market is pricing such as junk and at essentially twice this rate. Subsequent debt trades have affirmed the junk (high yield is the PC today) status. They clearly cannot generate the cash flow and earnings to make their existing debt maturity obligations. They, and RCL and NCL, are in a "liquidity squeeze" for the foreseeable future. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously. And no, not every little bit helps. Just wanted to add a bit of "debt side" commentary on this. IMO, this is where and who controls the story of how this unwinds and plays out. These notes were a tranche in a larger $1.75B issuance @ 5.75%. These particular notes are so high priority secured they were initially and regularly trading early at 250% of FACE (massive negative yield) last year. For vultures, it was the security (see below image). These are now trading at 125%, or HALF, of issuance value just last year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It absolutely helps to push short term debt of any amount out until the company is profitable again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comment was regarding the waste of legal and professional fees to "do it" i.e., the refinancing (not the required legal and professional fees once something has been done, which are not cheap, and they are required to file such disclosures thereafter; which are template minimal). Hope that helps the perspective of the comment. NP 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it should be obvious this is not the end of the pushing out of short term debt while some gets repaid from new debt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fascinating discussion AtSeaAtPeace and BlerkOne. Don't completely understand all of it, but so appreciate those of you who do educating us. I bought it back when it had been steady in the $50's (really for the OBC and its seeming stability - ha!) and have been contemplating the idea of buying low to salvage something of my loss. Really interesting reading. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Yes, but most not quite as much. I have about 20 stocks in my general trade account. Carnival is by far the most volatile. At this moment it is down 5.45% today, while others are only down under 2% and one is actually up slightly today. If it were not for the onboard credit, I would not have bought Carnival because it does tend to cause whiplash.

Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted August 19, 2022 #366 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Speaking of stocks - I saw the following headline today and thought this kid stuck it rich: Student, 20, makes $110 million trading meme stock Bed Bath & Beyond Then I read this part 🙄 : He bought 4.96 million shares at $5.50 each through a Wyoming-based holding company he set up.

JT1962 Posted August 19, 2022 #367 Share Posted August 19, 2022 3 hours ago, Tom-n-Cheryl said: Are other sectors this volatile on a daily/weekly basis? Tom Stocks are given a volatility score called a Beta. The S&P 500 index has a Beta of 1. Carnival currently has a Beta of 2.09, meaning it will generally move up or down twice as much as the overall market. So if the market goes up 1%, Carnival is likely to go up 2%, or vice versa when the overall market drops. Of course news related specifically to Carnival, cruises or travel in general will have more of an effect. https://www.zacks.com/stock/chart/CCL/fundamental/beta?TSPD_101_R0=08d01cef9bab20003402f40e58cfa24cdfe2494b3bf45a7ced49caa998e99285fa6e9334c4862e060865cec0f714300004eb94d7459bcdc2c5af6c91b398197df7df168891726c2cc4eac711f50bae18e6a4be0dc72dec4366b1bbf219554921 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare At Sea At Peace Posted August 22, 2022 #368 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Well, the thread title was aptly to the proffer of "CCL under $10" at the time. I guess it's appropriate to keep it as we might see decrements such as under $9? Got real close today. Worse, across the board wake up call for the 'end of summer stock market reality check, mortgage rates halting the real estate bubble, inflation not solved by the IRA 🙄 and costs of living still influential, a growing unreliable air transportation system that mocks supply chain issues for goods, back to school from K through colleges ready to meet BA.5 fallout, and, worst of all, the drums beating for the season of the MT elections. Yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUNKT2 Posted August 25, 2022 #369 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Yet according to Jefferies bookings continue to come in with pricing remaining strong amidst growing yields - go figure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostsoulcruiser Posted August 25, 2022 #370 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Stock at $10.50 at this writing based on strong future bookings. Prices of cruises are up also. My present booking for a balcony on the Glory (4-16-23) is now $80 per person higher than when I secured the booking. With the trend towards relaxation of COVID restrictions (increased passenger capacity), higher prices, and increased on-board spending cruises lines should begin to return to profitability. Doubtful they will return to pre-Covid prices due to the heavy debt load needed to survive. Increasing interest rates will impact the refinancing of their present debt and could impact future profitability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUNKT2 Posted August 25, 2022 #371 Share Posted August 25, 2022 For sure. Just given the dilution with all the extra shares issued, the three cruise companies would be doing well to get their stock prices back to half of where they were three years ago in the next year or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Mary229 Posted September 29, 2022 #374 Share Posted September 29, 2022 (edited) People often equate stock price with financial strength, it is not true. The stock price is only a gauge of sentiment based on underlying fundamental analysis. It does not necessarily predict their viability, actually it doesn’t predict anything.
