Saudi bid coming, we will see.....

[onehanded] 08/9/2020 16:27

capital RNS is pre-bid confirmation of shares in issue for the bid. £20 will take this out.

[kasamavic] 08/9/2020 16:15

It keeps getting stuck around here though.I would say above 11.80 to break out.

[go_baby_go] 08/9/2020 16:07

Looking more likely there could be an offer for CCL, at what price though.

[go_baby_go] 04/9/2020 16:16

Rumours could be true, CCL has held up against 2 days of a large Dow fall. Could we be getting a bid next week. £15+

The filings in Saudi Arabia showed that in the second quarter PIF also sold positions in U.S. banks Citigroup Inc. and Bank of America Corp., as well as European energy firms BP PLC, Royal Dutch Shell PLC and Total SA, while buying more shares of cruise operator Carnival Corp. and concert promoter Live Nation Entertainment Inc'.

£15 coming...

Full steam ahead today.Let's hope the wind doesn't get knocked out of her sails.

Rumour of a bid by Saudi consortium. They are targeting a whole range of knock down travel companies. Everyone knows no main cruises till 2021, so RNS are not a surprise. Will see another RNS with a increase in Saudi stake. Would not want to be short when this moves. £15 in a flash.

It's a brave investor who buys at these levels given the current C19 situation.

Share Price vs. Fair Value
285.4% Overvalued
Current Price UK£10.15
Fair Value UK£2.63

Quality Earnings: CCL is currently unprofitable.
Growing Profit Margin: CCL is currently unprofitable.
Earnings Trend: CCL is unprofitable, and losses have increased over the past 5 years at a rate of 2.2% per year.
Accelerating Growth: Unable to compare CCL's earnings growth over the past year to its 5-year average as it is currently unprofitable
Earnings vs Industry: CCL is unprofitable, making it difficult to compare its past year earnings growth to the Hospitality industry (-15.1%).
Debt Level: CCL's debt to equity ratio (99.9%) is considered high.
Reducing Debt: CCL's debt to equity ratio has increased from 35.7% to 99.9% over the past 5 years.

Delay announcement after delay announcement and the share price has been rising . This is unsustainable . If P and O follow Cunard and cancel for another 4 months the company will be in real trouble.

1. Children under 10/12 were thought not to really spread the virus, this is because they have not been out and about in a position to spread the virus.

2. Since schools have started to reopen in the USA, it has been found that Asymptomatic children under 10/12 are the biggest spreaders of Covid.

Warranty - if under 18s neither contract nor transmit Covid, how do you account for this report from 2 months ago from the Paediatric Intensive Care Audit Network?
"Five under-18s have died of Covid-19 in the UK during the pandemic, but most who have needed intensive care have survived, the first study of the subject has found. In all, 71 children ranging from one to 17 have been treated in a paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) since March after being seriously affected by the disease, an audit of all the country’s hospitals found."

Infection rates up, testing numbers up but deaths at the lowest level since the virus struck. Only 60 people now hospitalised across the UK with CV-19. UK Scientific report last week confirms under 18s neither contract nor transmit Covid. Average age of death from Covid is 82 years. The fear mongers, like Buywell, would have us totally ignore statistics which prove that those of working age and in good health are Likely to suffer minor symptoms at worst. Personally I have no fears of a severe second wave this winter and by next Spring reality will return. We will very likely also by then have some kind of effective vaccine with the best minds in the world working on it. Let’s just deal with the statistics we have which are FACTS unlike the pessimistic members of our communities, both politicians and so called scientists who choose to ignore them.

Hello all,
I'm not invested here yet, but just wanted to read up this thread after reading Ian Cowie's piece in the financial section of the Sunday Times (p13).
I am invested in Integumen (SKIN) though and they might well be a Saviour of the cruise industry. At least, that's what we're all hoping.

They're close to making a real time piece of kit for testing human waste, to alert for Covid, Noro, Ebola and many other viruses.
The idea would be to have a device on each deck, continuously monitoring each deck's sewage to initially warn the crew of any outbreak. Then to use another device to narrow the outbreak to individuals.
That's the plan at least, so for the sake of my own investments and for all of yours here too, I hope that we're on the right track.
All the best,
John

6x horrendous RNSs

Vaccines and extended treatment coming. Load up the cruises for next year.

Mene Pangalos, Executive Vice President, BioPharmaceuticals R&D, said: "This trial is an important milestone in the development of our monoclonal antibody combination to prevent or treat COVID-19. This combination of antibodies, coupled to our proprietary half-life extension technology, has the potential to improve both the effectiveness and durability of use in addition to reducing the likelihood of viral resistance."

Should AZD7442 prove to be tolerated and have a favourable safety profile in the trial, AstraZeneca will progress it into larger late-stage Phase II and Phase III trials to evaluate its efficacy as a potential preventative and treatment approach against COVID-19.

it's coming the vaccine, the cruise cash cow will start. ,More debt that before but still £20 at anyone value.

[justiceforthemany] 24/8/2020 12:29

China and Russia both already have viable Covid vaccines and have started mass vaccination programmes.
Pfizer vaccine approval come October.
Astrazeneca November.

[onehanded] 24/8/2020 07:16

Yes see WHO say 2 years to see back of virus, and that's if no vaccine. That's from outbreak, so at most 14 months max. Could start to see buyers and closing of any shorts in the coming months. I have £15 to £20 as a first target this year. We will see....

MSC Cruises Restarts Cruising in the MediterraneanD J I 0078

(5:08 p.m. EDT) -- MSC Grandiosa today became the first ship from the MSC Cruises fleet to restart cruising in the Mediterranean after a five month pause.
The 6,200-passenger ship which will embark and disembark around 2,500 passengers over the course of the week, set sail from Genoa today and will call in at Naples, Palermo and then Valetta in Malta, before returning to Genoa on Sunday.
MSC Grandiosa is the first ship to to implement the line's strict health and safety protocols, which include universal health screening at embarkation, daily temperature checks, a health questionnaire and increased and enhanced sanitation onboard.

"It is a real pleasure for me to be here and sail on board the first of our ships to return to service and to be able to welcome back our guests," said Gianni Onorato, MSC Cruises' CEO.
"Our main goal during these last months has been to put in place the right measures that will protect the health and safety of our guests, crew and the communities we visit.


"But at the same time, we have worked to ensure that we are able to provide our guests with a cruise holiday that they can enjoy and still experience all of the elements that they know and love from entertainment and activities on board through to protected ashore visits.”
The first guests began embarking the flagship this morning, arriving at the cruise terminal according to their allocated time slots and followed the new universal screening procedures.
All guests received a complimentary MSC for Me wristband, which provides them with contactless options whilst on board such as opening the cabin or making payments and will also help to facilitate proximity and contact tracing, if needed.

Additionally, over the past several weeks, all crew members have gone through similarly stringent health screening measures, which included three COVID-19 tests in various phases as well as a period of isolation before commencing their duties. Each crew member will then be regularly tested and their health monitored.
The line joins TUI as the first big ship line to resume cruising in Europe, as well as Dream Cruises in Taiwan.

German line Aida is due to resume cruising shortly, and a number of other smaller lines have also restarted, including Variety Cruises, the first line to resume operations in the Eastern Med.
MSC Magnifica will resume cruising in the Eastern Mediterranean later this month, followed by the gradual resumption of the rest of the fleet.
At present, the cruises are only available to citizens of Schengen countries.
