• 102362254 : My guess is $Carnival (CCL.US)$ may end this week with the biggest % gain. Carnival’s recovery in travel demand is set to boost revenue, with cost management crucial for profit margins. Strong demand in North America & Australia and easing travel restrictions in Europe & Asia will drive growth, while Cruise Support improves through efficiency gains. Debt reduction and financial health have to be watched, though risks like economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions could impact demand. Overall, Carnival seems to benefit from the travel rebound so I feel optimistic about it.

• Lucas Cheah : Here is a comprehensive analysis of the earning prospects for $Carnival (CCL.US)$ $Nike (NKE.US)$ and $Conagra Brands (CAG.US)$
  1. $Carnival (CCL.US)$
  • Revenue Growth: Carnival has experienced revenue growth quarter over quarter, largely driven by increased occupancy and higher ticket prices as customers are willing to pay premiums for cruises after prolonged lockdowns.
  • Outlook: Carnival is optimistic about sustained demand through 2024, but external risks like economic slowdowns or further geopolitical tensions (e.g., conflict affecting travel routes) could pose risks to its recovery. Continued cost control and increased pricing power will be critical for earnings growth.
  2. $Nike (NKE.US)$
  • Challenges: Ongoing supply chain disruptions, particularly in Asia, inflationary pressures on raw materials, and increasing labor costs may impact near-term earnings.
  • Outlook: Nike is expected to post solid earnings growth, driven by strong demand for its innovative products and its shift to more profitable digital sales channels. Its long-term growth remains intact as the company leads in sports apparel innovation and global expansion.
  3. $Conagra Brands (CAG.US)$
  • Consumer Behavior Shifts: As inflation has impacted consumers, there’s been a trend toward eating at home, benefiting Conagra’s frozen and packaged food products.
  • Outlook: Despite near-term inflationary challenges, Conagra's strong portfolio of well-known brands and its ability to pass along price increases position it for steady earnings growth. Its focus on innovation and health trends is likely to drive longer-term revenue growth.

• Drew Manns kheldarX : Hello everyone. My vote is $Nike (NKE.US)$  due to the popular brand, it’s proven to survive thru anything, most sports teams have NIKE logo, new ceo which means back to in store shopping ( Dillards, DICKS) interest rates down some didn’t buy Nike so now they are down, my feeling is load the boat.
