Carnival Corp (CCL) Options

I couldn’t imagine it being too far out. Another year, year and a half…?

Yes I agree we will see $40s again and higher

The Mötley fool is encouraging to buy carnival As their booking is at all-time high…

Total customer deposits at Carnival for future sailings are at an all-time high of $8.3 billion. In the company’s second quarter, revenue rose 18% year over year to $5.78 billion, exceeding Wall Street expectations. Where analysts were expecting a loss, Carnival posted a net gain. Carnival has been exceeding Wall Street profit targets since resuming normal operations almost two years ago.
The same Carnival that, during the darkest stretches of the COVID-19 crisis, some figured would never turn a profit is trading at a recent price-to-sales ratio of 0.8, well below its five-year average of 1.3 (which includes some years heavily pressured by the pandemic).
Carnival’s doing a good job of cleaning up its balance sheet now that it’s making money again. It has bought back $6.6 billion of its debt in the last five quarters. Carnival bulls expect debt repayments, more efficiency from a newer fleet and, eventually, a return to paying out quarterly dividends. Bears worry that there’s still a lot of debt to pay off. Do a little digging and see what you think. (The Motley Fool recommends Carnival.)

That they are. Someone’s got their thumb on it.

$CCL

To all the CCL longs, I apologize. I am the reason CCL dropped so much this week. I purchased more call options than I ever had in life the past nine days. Why ? Royal Caribbean had great earnings. I thought Norwegian would have great earnings - they did. Yet the cruise industry tanked, and bad market news the past couple days. Nine days ago was the CCL peak. So stupid of me. Good news for the longs? CCL should start increasing next Monday as my options have expired. GLTA CCL longs.

It’s sure doesn’t look like it now. Tanked 3 days in a row someone’s always playing games with this stock.

With Luck, we should be around $25 by the end of August/early September.

The past quarter has shown nice CCL pps growth. Not every day, nor every hour. Revenue shows growth, debt is being paid off, and the ships of CCL capacity have returned to near pre-pandemic levels. Profits are growing too. I can see a small dividend being reinstated within six months.

We should get to the $25 dollar area this summer. Sales are up

They’re on it now! They’re just not at the Apex of it yet.

They rocked it!! LFG!

CCL 10Q expected Tuesday 6/25

CCL seems to be riding the waves on a surf board - drifting up, drifting down. But finances continue to improve, debt continues to be paid off. Watching the horizon waiting to catch the big wave soon to come.

CarniVAL

Agree. I see Royal announce a nice quarterly increase this morning. The three major lines have a strong positive pre-market. The cruise industry is back (or so it seems) Glad CCL is coming back nicely. Norwegian quarterly is next week with positive earnings/share predicted.

I was buying the dips and see a strong upswing in CCL should get past 15.50 today

Carnival ! WTF ! I am not “happy”

Not clapping along

I did NOT expect to see CCL below $15. The cruise industry has taken a beating this month. Overall market some too.

I hope so. I would like to see Carnival around $25

Nice pop today coming CCL enjoy $$

Bullish call activity on CCL .

CCL 10Q due 3/27
Next day settlement begins 5/28 per SEC mandate

Good move up earnings should be great 👍 and looking for a nice pop in stock CCL

Yes a good strong move up today. CCL

Go Carnival

I agree - to a point. CCL added so many new shares and so much debt during the COVID (no-cruise) period. The major lines are all doing better, improving their financial bottom lines. Yes, cruise bookings are up, per person cruise spending is up. Capacity is up. It will take time. Assuming no major market correction, CCL should continue in this range for 2024. A good indicator will be the next quarterly earnings report (March 25 ??). Early estimates are for a $0.18/share loss. (All - IMO)

I have talked to so many the past 2 years that are going on cruises. I am surprised CCL is not back to $30.00

I see CCL did NOT give me a free cruise for celebrating 20-years here on IHub. Oh,well 😪. I guess I will have to keep buying my own cruises like almost everyone else. Still, a cruise is my favorite way to vacation/relax.

I’m not sure what games are being played but lots of officers are dumping stock???? I’m way to long on this one I think it’s time to move on

If you been doing puts lately your doing well... don't think theywill bring this down to 13 so buying soon .

They ran it down good so soon it will be on its way back up... sales is great and better fuel prices . So I'm looking for the next three months we should see some good upswing.

Next week would be a good time to see CCL start rebounding upwards.

I think by February we will be flying again CCL

Beat us up more today. Damn market correction that’s all right. We’ll bounce back shortly. Along with everything else.

Won’t bet against you

Yes all the cruise lines are doing very good. We will see higher $ coming our way in the next couple months. Buy the dips

CCL new 52 week high

Yes a beautiful move up... CCL

Congrats! I def got smoked on that put trade

WELP! CCL$


Cruise operator Carnival (CCL.N) beat market expectations for fourth-quarter revenue on Thursday, as it benefited from steady demand for cruises as well as higher ticket prices.
Carnival said that booking volumes for the two weeks around Black Friday and Cyber Monday hit an all-time high.
The company reported fourth-quarter revenue of $5.4 billion. Analysts had estimated revenue of $5.31 billion, according to IBES data from LSEG.
Shares of the company, which have more than doubled so far this year, were down marginally in premarket trading.

Good luck with that.

I got puts I see $16 after earnings

Yes I had seen that. I think they overcame lots of debt and bookings very strong.

I stand corrected. Two more days until CCL 4th quarter earnings report.. On December 21st before the opening bell.

Many upgrades for CCL Citigroup adjusts CCL price to $23 from $19 Buy rating .

I think they are beating it CCL
