Tui Share Discussion Threads

COVID has hit them for 3b of the 4.5b net debt which does suggest that even when holidays were going at full swing the debts were still there - the point being that the debt is spiraling out of control to such an extent that even paying the interest on it each year will now be hundreds of millions of pounds.It could very quickly become a basket case.

Allseeingeye.......what does the government say about non essential travel.Perhaps you are siting on your allseeingeye.

Very bullish article on travel and mention of Tui in there that over 50’a have booked a lot of holidays going forward looks like the turn of the tide coming with the vaccine

None so blind as they who will not see

If anyone seriously believes a travel company with 4.5 billion of net debt who are raising 500m to use 300m to pay imminently due loan notes and can see no holidays being sold for the next few months (more likely 6-9months) is worth even the current 2b market cap (soon to double the shares in issue which at these levels would value it at near 4b) then they need to have a word with themselves.Where is the value, where is the recovery, how will the debt even be managed going forward let alone paid down?Do they double the price of holiday and then find customers stop booking - it's bad, it's very bad.There is an obvious reason the funds were raised at 1.07 euro when the share price at the time was a lot lot higher

The sun... Hahaha LMFAO. See you sub 300

Spain will be open for summer so expect a huge jump on Monday well done to those that brought.

Also virus cases are coming down so lockdown measures are having a positive effect and scientists have also said that there is no evidence the new strain is more deadly.

[greenstreet1] 23/1/2021 17:55

Yes I meant the fact new strain more deadly, coupled with being more infectious what are the chances other countries will want to open their borders to us Brits? Its all a waiting game though, I dont think anyone can predict the next 6 months. Lets just hope for the best!!

Anyone going on holiday this year.it’s as simple as that.Not a confidence builder is it.

[activeservo] 23/1/2021 16:27

That's the media today. Same as everything else since the internet...

[careful] 23/1/2021 13:00

How hyped up these headlines are;

'New Covid strain could be 30% more deadly'.

Dramatic headline, but what they said was that 1 death per 100 infections could maybe 1.3 deaths per 100 infections.
But they were not sure. To me there is not much difference.
Sometimes % sound more scary.

Last weeks 'biggest ever fall in retail sales' headline.

Dig a bit deeper and the annual fall was 1.9%.
That is peanuts, no wonder some retailers share prices rose.
Another trick, rises in the past have been merely inflation rises. Now inflation is low last years performance was excellent all things considered.

[activeservo] 23/1/2021 08:42

Really. It was far better than I expected. Nothing about closed borders (that was the reason for the drop in travel yesterday), no £500 per case, no evidence of vaccines not working with variants, still on course for Feb target...The media headline grabbing "More deadly!" of course is all relative, much like "record daily high cases!"I won't quote the actual figures, as I'll get backlash.But part of me thinks gov want headlines like that because it scares the less informed into compliance with COVID rules. The rest of us who invest, along with corporate, can do the simple maths sit back and watch them sell out like yesterday and they'll be a few on Monday too I'm sure.

What announcement is that???

[bakedbean] 22/1/2021 22:02

What announcement

[greenstreet1] 22/1/2021 19:33

Well with tonights announcement Im not looking forward to seeing Mondays prices

[arja] 22/1/2021 18:54

about 270 might be a good buying price as it hits triple bottom.

[danb45] 22/1/2021 17:07

Yeah long term taking the rights is a no brainer ! wish I'd placed a short at 425p though - could have made a fair amount

[activeservo] 22/1/2021 16:30

The shares won't be released until 29th so you should have the rights value and averaged down shares value listed on your account giving you the relative overall value before the 29th. A very nice sum!I think it's the shorters and retail investors who have missed the boat on the rights issue (grabbing profits and sh1tting themselves etc) making it more volatile than IAG etc. They do actually carry some weight in the share price movement but nothing that can't be absorbed by the LTHs.You can tell who's missed it by the negative posts on the BB ?

[danb45] 22/1/2021 16:02

it's down 16% at the mo - other travel stocks aren't down that much - the rights credited to my account today too - just a coincidence ?

[activeservo] 22/1/2021 15:43

No it's just the usual minor panic, this time over closed borders and variant news.. BUT the most important metric in the whole shebang is the R number, which is now less than 1Continue like that with vaccinations increasing, even with the borders closed for a while, we're still onto a winner.

[knowing] 22/1/2021 14:09

More to do with Boris's comments on extension of Lockdown and further travel bans

[careful] 22/1/2021 13:50

is todays fall anything to do with the rights issue timetable?
