Goldman Sachs added four new stocks to its conviction list going into August for equity investors looking to capitalize on the bull market. Dollar General , Philip Morris International , S & P Global and Woodward were the newest addition to the Wall Street firm's coveted stock list. For Dollar General, Goldman analysts believe the worries around low income consumer discretionary spend and competition are overdone. Meanwhile, Goldman said the market is underappreciating the growth opportunity for Philip Morris as the company innovates around its smoke-free alternatives to cigarettes. Both S & P Global and Woodward have recorded solid gains so far this year, rising 11% and nearly 17%, respectively.

As vacationers emerge into a post-pandemic travel world, cruises have made a spectacular comeback — and ticket prices are surging. Cruise operators such as Carnival and Royal Caribbean Cruises are setting some ticket prices higher than pre-pandemic levels and are indicating they may raise them further, even as they post pre-Covid profits. Compared to 2019, before the Covid-19 pandemic decimated the cruising industry, December ticket prices are up 43%. The company's booking volumes likewise hit an all-time high, pushing cruise occupancy and revenue beyond 2019 levels, he said. Royal Caribbean CEO Jason Liberty echoed the sentiment, saying on that company's post-earnings call in July that his company is also considering increasing prices to meet the surge in demand.

"The U.S. consumer is on thin ice coming into the final stretch of 2023," said Emily Roland, co-chief investment strategist at John Hancock Investment Management. Further declines in the labor market will likely act as a double-edged sword for investors, relieving some inflation pressures while weighing on consumer spending. Overall consumer spending rose slightly more than expected in August, while the savings rate fell to its lowest since November 2022, the Commerce Department said on Thursday. Betting against the consumer spending has so far been a losing wager.

▼ + stars: | 2023-08-01 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +1 min

Aug 1 (Reuters) - Norwegian Cruise Line (NCLH.N) forecast third-quarter profit below estimates on Tuesday as higher costs offset its gains from pent-up demand for leisure travel and raised ticket prices, sending its shares down about 10% before the bell. Despite undertaking price hikes, higher costs and spiraling marketing expenses have eroded the benefits of a recent resurgence in demand from affluent customers. Rival Carnival (CCL.N) has forecast third-quarter profit below estimates, signalling that rising marketing and labor costs were eating into its gains from higher ticket prices and steady demand. Norwegian Cruise expects third-quarter adjusted profit of 70 cents per share, compared with analysts' average estimate of 79 cents, according to data from Refinitiv. However, the cruise operator expects full-year adjusted profit of 80 cents per share, compared with its earlier forecast of 75 cents.

☆ Whakaari White Island trial: Tourists describe horror of erupting New Zealand volcano
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-13 | by ( Hilary Whiteman | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +8 min

Tourists on the island said they weren't aware how close the volcano was to erupting. Lu told the court the eruption had changed her “physically and mentally.”Before the disaster, she worked in the fashion industry. He said the tourists were told the volcano’s activity level was elevated, which meant they couldn’t go to some areas of the island. Five organizations have already pleaded guilty and are awaiting sentencing, including Volcanis Air Safaris, Aerius, Kahu NZ and White Island Tours. Luxury charter flight operator Inflite pleaded guilty last year and was fined 227,500 New Zealand dollars ($145,000) plus court costs.
