Jaknife

I've just had a quick read of the financials …..

Yes , it looks horrific with almost £5 billion of debt.

Just a little confused re the directors buying.

Looks nailed on for a debt for equity to me !

What are your thoughts ?

North of 15 would be a good start. We nearly cracked it on Tuesday... but they want to keep the price under pressure and panic investors to sell. Shorts are reducing as far as I can see... I'm not aware in the last week of anyone increasing there short position but no doubt, I'll be corrected. Shorters will be just as nervous as being bullish. That's the battle at hand ... who blinks first? Don't let it be you. Finally... good luck to all genuine holders

29 black anyone??

hi Mallorca, INTU is not a short. A whole host of directors buying and a sale of assets due to reduce a debt. BUT it's the real chance of a bidder from aboard that is rumored. We will see, have a small stake from yesterday in INTU and would add if I see any large buys or RNS of a build up of stock. As for here can't see much upside other than day traders in and out.

Early retirement.. ALZHEIMER'S???

[the patient investor] 08/8/2019 07:48

Not impossible

[the patient investor] 08/8/2019 07:48

I'd be happy with 12p and then early retirement

[once bitten1] 08/8/2019 07:46

Make it 18 young lady

[mallorca 9] 08/8/2019 07:44

Jaknife,

just started doing my research on INTU.

Are you suggesting this as a short ?

First thing I notice is that there has been strong Director buying of late !

Things not to say on a first date

[the patient investor] 08/8/2019 07:14

This looks to me a turkish take over , not to be confused with a turkish take away (aka kebab :-) )

15p today any one?

[blueteam] 08/8/2019 07:13

yes INTU is set to really fly. Shorters all but closed now on short checker and now a real target for a bid. Going to be one to watch.

[mallorca 9] 08/8/2019 07:02

Jaknife,

thanks for the heads up on INTU

Founder of Anex Tourism became co-owner of Intourist parent company
The Rusian travel Digest - 7 August 2019

The founder of the Turkish holding company Anex Tourism, associated with the Russian operator Anex Tour, bought up almost 7% of the shares of the British Thomas Cook Group. Among its assets is Intourist - the Russian tour operator.

Neshet Kochkar, who lives in Turkish Antalya, became the owner of a 6.71% stake in the British Thomas Cook Group in late July. On July 26, Kochkar became the owner of a 4.76% stake, then on July 29 the stake increased to 5.41%, and finally on July 30 it reached 6.71%.

On Wednesday, July 31, when the new shareholder became known on the market, securities rose by 36% on the London Stock Exchange - up to £ 6 per piece. So, the capitalization of the entire Thomas Cook Group exceeded £ 137 million.

In Russia, Thomas Cook Group is represented by Intourist tour operator, in which, since the last fiscal year, the British have owned 100% of assets (previously, the partner was AFK Sistema of Vladimir Yevtushenkov). The turnover of Thomas Cook Group’s in Russia in the previous fiscal year reached $ 205.5 million, operating loss is $ 2.9 million and net loss is $ 7.5 million. These data are presented in the statements of the British ITC Enterprises Ltd, which registered part of the Russian business. Thomas Cook Group does not disclose consolidated data separately for Russia.

In March 2019, Thomas Cook Group announced that with Intourist tour operator it would become a co-owner of the largest Russian tour operator Biblio Globus. The deal is still not closed.

Neshet Kochkar, the new shareholder of Thomas Cook Group, is known on the tourism market as the founder of the Turkish Group Anex Tourism. In Turkey, the Group owns several hotels and incoming companies, hosting tourists from Russia, the CIS and Europe. This Group acts with the Russian tour operator Anex Tour, a competitor of Intourist and Biblio Globus. Moreover, formally the owner of LLC Anex Tourism, which carries out tour operator activities, is Asek Yeshpulatov. The strategic partner of Anex Tour's is Azur Air.

Azamat Shamyrkanov, the Anex Tour CEO, declined to comment on the investment of the Turkish founder of Anex Tourism.

According to the latest available data from the Turkish Ekin Group, in 2017 in Turkey Anex Tourism incoming company served more than 946 thousand tourists. The local Turkish partner of Intourist served 410 thousand tourists and the partner of Biblio Globus - 228 thousand. The similar figures have the host companies of Coral Travel (1,1 million people), Pegas Touristik (877 thousand) and Tez Tour (551 thousand tourists).
