I wouldn't worry about it, I've seen the occasional similar mistake but it will be a one off. Cunard always learn and do not repeat a mistake.

It was a bit rowdy on the queen Vic last night. Massive mistake taking on stag parties for a 3 night alcofest. Suicide imv.

What the share price reaction may show is how dangerous the market is atm.
The report was solid, if unspectacular. Yet the price is hacked away with
2019 guidance just a little below what some were hoping for.

MARKET REPORT: Carnival shares dive 10.8% as the cruise firm reveals the impact of fuel costs and currency swings

[shallwe] 20/12/2018 16:15

I agree. Can't see the reason for a -10% retreat.

[trub] 20/12/2018 15:44

Doesn't seem a bad set of accounts bearing in mind the 500/600 million spent on buying back shares, or have I got that wrong?.

[edwardt] 20/12/2018 08:34

think it is 10 am to report.

[red5] 20/12/2018 08:20

I thought there would be a update today but it seems like a crash after a share buy back.

Well what would be the point of having two reports which said the same thing? :) - my source was the Times

[kirtonender9] 01/10/2018 07:04

Then the reports we both read were at odds.

[toffeeman] 28/9/2018 09:11

No it wasn't - they beat market expectations - the reason was the potential impact of a rise in oil price.

[kirtonender9] 28/9/2018 07:17

It was below market expectations!

[pierre oreilly] 27/9/2018 15:45

Not sure why any of that should cause such a fall. All looks good to me.

The FTSE 100 company said third-quarter 2018 adjusted net income was $1.7bn, or $2.36 adjusted earnings per share - higher than the $1.7bn and $2.29 reported a year ago.
Adjusted net income excluded unrealised gains and losses on fuel derivatives and other net charges, totaling $34m in net gains for the third quarter.
Revenues for the quarter were $5.8bn, rising from $5.5bn in the same period last year.

During the period, the firm authorised the replenishment of its $1bn share repurchase programme covering both Carnival Corporation common stock traded in New York and Carnival plc ordinary shares traded in London.
It said repurchases would take place in the open market, or privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.
“Strong execution delivered the highest quarterly performance in our company's history, overcoming fuel and currency headwinds,” said president and chief executive officer Arnold Donald.
“At the same time, our strong cash flow and balance sheet enabled us to accelerate our opportunistic share repurchase program, investing almost $750m in Carnival stock since the beginning of the third quarter, bringing the total investment to $4.4bn in just three years, and leading to the second replenishment of our $1.0bn repurchase program this year alone.”

Based on the third quarter results and booking strength for the fourth quarter of 2018, the company said it now expected full year 2018 net revenue yields in constant currency to be up about 3.5% year-on-year, better than June guidance for 3.0% growth.
The firm said it expected full-year net cruise costs excluding fuel per ALBD in constant currency to grown by 1.5%, rising from June guidance of 1.0%, which it put down to the accounting treatment for ships sold during the quarter.
Changes in fuel prices, including realised fuel derivatives, and currency exchange rates were expected to decrease earnings by six cents per share compared to June guidance, and 18 cents per share compared to the prior year.
Taking those factors into consideration, Carnival said it expected full-year 2018 adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of $4.21 to $4.25, compared to 2017 adjusted earnings per share of $3.82.
“We are on track to achieve double digit return on invested capital in 2018 as we deliver upon our strategy to create demand in excess of measured capacity growth, all while containing costs and leveraging our industry leading scale,” added Donald.

“Going forward, we remain on a path toward continued growth in earnings and returns, driven to a greater degree by capacity increases as we add more efficient ships, replacing less efficient capacity.”
He said the board believed the plans it had put in place would maximise returns to shareholders over time, as it continued to execute in an industry that was both under-penetrated and capacity constrained.
“At the same time, we remain committed to returning cash to shareholders as evidenced by the growth in our recurring dividend, currently distributing $1.4bn annually, accompanied by our recently replenished share repurchase programme.”

10% profit in a month since you posted toffeeman.
Hope you were not shorting this given your negative commentary.

[toffeeman] 11/7/2018 08:32

Yeah but what's the RONA?

[justiceforthemany] 10/7/2018 18:07

How about $3Bn profits p.a.?

[toffeeman] 10/7/2018 13:11

The assets only have significant value if they are generating profits and cash - so book value is not meaningful (I doubt Amazon would wish to by CCL :))

[justiceforthemany] 10/7/2018 13:08

Book price almost Double current share price
