CCL - Carnval Cruise LinesThe Hospitality Industry has been one of the hardest hit sectors due to Covd19 and the Cruise Industry has taken an absolute beating. While other companies were hit, they were able to recuperate some of the losses in aid received from the Feds stimulus care package. However, the cruise industry did not receive any bail out funds since they're registered in foreign countries outside of the US.
Remember Carnival is still the global leader in the cruise business. The Company's North America segment includes Carnival Cruise Line, Holland America Line, Princess Cruises (Princess), and Seabourn. They also own AIDA Cruises (AIDA), Costa Cruises (Costa), Cunard, P&O Cruises (Australia), P&O Cruises and ship operations of Fathom, and Holland America Princess Alaska Tours.
"CCL has taken on an additional $4 billion in debt and sold 71.9 million shares of stock. We also saw Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund has taken an 8.2% stake in Carnival expecting it to recover. Carnival Corporation's fleet of 100+ ships are not currently operating, so there are costs but no revenues, resulting in significant negative cash flows in 2020. The big risk really is if Carnival Corporation cannot resume operations by 2021, as their cash will begin to run low."
Technical Analysis:
We're not in a rush to buy here just yet. If we do, we like the $8-$7 region. Remember CCL is down over 80% from its 2017 peak, so there is definitely a lot of room for upside if CCL can stay afloat and avoid bankruptcy.
