US Equity Snapshot


Dell Technologies (DELL), a technology company, is considering options for its 50 billion dollars stake in information technology company VMware (VMW), including a spinoff or a sale of the stake, or buying the minority stake of VMware that it doesn't already own, reported the Wall Street Journal citing people familiar with the matter.

Carnival's (CCL), an international cruise line, credit rating was downgraded to "BB-", a junk rating, from "BBB-" at S&P Global Ratings. The rating agency stated: "we believe the cruise industry may face an extended period of weak demand that will cause global cruise operator Carnival Corp.'s credit measures to remain very weak through at least 2021 as it implements a phased resumption of its cruises and given incremental debt raises to bolster its liquidity while its operations remain suspended."

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCLH), the cruise company, was downgraded to "equal-weight" from "overweight" at Barclays.
