Carnival Corp (CCL) is trading -14% lower at $9.54 today.
Carnival Corp has been trading between a 52-week high of $27.39 and a 52-week low of $8.1. The stock has a market cap of $10.5 Billion.
Carnival Corp announced plans to raise around $1 billion through a discounted stock offering, driving the stock down today. When a company sells new stock, that means that the existing stockholders now own a smaller share of the same company. Carnival investors are interpreting this new cash injection as a buffer against financial difficulty, rather than a resource to be used for additional growth.
