Well.

UBS are confident.!

A target raise of the main CCL Price, which is currently $28.34

https://uk.investing.com/news/analyst-ratings/carnival-stock-price-target-raised-to-37-from-35-at-ubs-ahead-of-earnings-93CH-4424420

10am EST, 3pm UK is the call.

The results are normally out before then though

US Indexes flat.

Several US Indicators flashing in Sell zone.

Travel generally flat.

Only 5 more UK trading days until the end of the year, and 6 more US trading days.

It's going to a hard slog.!

The US dropped last night over 30c, and we seem to have got away with it this morning.

Being slightly green is a big plus. Also US travel stocks flat ish, so again, a good end day for us.

Just hoping we get a good positive Main Indexes bounce tomorrow at the same time as great results.....

Blackjack.

I said this the other day, the interest rate cuts in the US and the UK seem to be doing the opposite of what they should be doing re the exchange rates and I have no idea why.!

IWHF.

I would appreciate some information once you are back re Antarctica.

It's one of my bucket list places.

Thank you

CWWX.

Hopefully the US Main Indexes will have a flat ish day today, and then tomorrow will have a good bounce.

If that happens, the Carnival results are as expected with again record booking, record future bookings, record revenue and record EPS as well as hopefully a forward plan of further reduced debt repayments, then with all of those things aligned, easily 10%+.

However, I don't think there be a plan mentioned on debt, and I think EPS will come is close to expectations, but I still think we will have a 5%+ day as long as the broader market doesn't tank us.

Zacks Consensus Estimate

This cruise operator is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.25 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +78.6%.

Revenues are expected to be $6.36 billion, up 7.2% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions Trend

The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 9.86% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that an aggregate change may not always reflect the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts.

Bhants.

Yes.

US is having another nose dive, but we are holding up well.

Unfortunately it's not going to effect Carnival SP too much, but it will help all other UK Shares.

Unfortunately I spoke too soon.!

UK Closed at $26.46

US After Hours Closed at $26.08

38c drop. 28p drop for us.

We closed at $26.46

The Overall US Dow etc. again is having another down day, which is great news as carnival keeps either going up, or staying neutral.

Currently it's $26.38, So currently 8c down approx. 6p down.

Hopefully the US has a flat day or slightly down day tomorrow, and the same on Thursday and then a major recovery day on Friday so we also get a big following wind to our results......!!!!!

It's all working against us..

Now the Exchange Rate has got worse by 0.7c as well..... That's another 11p dropped because of the exchange rate.

And now we are 31.5p up....

always a delay......

Sun.

So will I.!

I'm staying at Embassy Suites, Miami Airport.

Flying on 15th, getting on Icon on 17th.

BA 207 out on 15th, BA 206 back on 31st.

Sun.

Carnival usually have a 30 minute delay for some unknown, typical Carnival.!

So hopefully 8.30 we will be 25/30p ish up.

I'm on Icon 17-24 and 24-31 Jan, so we won't see each other unfortunately.

We closed at $26.02 = £19.465 = 1.336758

Currently it's $26.40 = £19.75

or another 28.5p gain since our close.

Well done for buying back in.!

I bought £20k on Tuesday last week. Up 8% now.

Blackjack.

What I have noticed this year with all the rate changes is it seems to work opposite to what you would expect. I honestly have no idea why.!

But, I'm still hopeful of the 25 for 25.

We have two weeks and 30% to go.

That's 2.5% ish a day compounded.

We've never had 30% in the month of December before. The highest has been 26% if my maths is correct.

With Private Island revenue plus record bookings plus hopefully a following wind, who knows.!

It will be £30 in 2026
