Norwegian Cruise Line: Debt, Shares, and Investor Swings

Norwegian Cruise Line's stock jumped over 3% after announcing financial maneuvers to strengthen its balance sheet and reduce shares. A direct share offering, coupled with new debt, will repurchase existing notes and shrink the overall share count, potentially boosting earnings per share. Despite this positive reaction, Norwegian's stock remains volatile and below its January high, with long-term investors seeing modest gains over five years. The company's efforts to manage debt and share count are under close investor scrutiny, especially after a recent dip caused by news of a massive debt raise. Hosted on Acast.
