Why Carnival Stock Just Fell
About two weeks ago, Carnival stock (NYSE: CCL) (NYSE: CUK) hit an iceberg, when the cruise company announced it would spend $2 billion to buy back some of its debt. In Thursday trading, Carnival stock is going down again — falling 2.4% through 10:30 a.m. EDT — and the reason this time is because of how Carnival plans to pay for buying back its debt. On July 6, Carnival said it would spend $1,142.50 for each $1,000 paid off on its “11.5% senior secured notes due 2023.”
