TUI earnings: how will results affect the share price?
TUI’s brightening technical outlook is supported by good earnings forecasts and a relatively low valuation.
When is TUI’s earnings date?
TUI reports earnings on 11 December, covering its full financial year.
TUI earnings – what does the City expect?
TUI is expected to report a 0.3% drop in revenue, to €19.5 billion, while pre-tax profit is forecast to fall to €704 million, from €1.03 billion a year earlier. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) are expected to fall 30% to 81.7 cents.
TUI’s earnings have climbed since in 2014, representing a steady improvement in global gross domestic product (GDP); indeed, TUI’s earnings have outpaced global GDP growth for eight years in a row. Recent trading has also been strong, but performance has been marred by the grounding of the 737 Max fleet due to safety concerns. However, the end of Thomas Cook offers some opportunities for the firm to pick up new customers, as well as reducing direct competition. In the longer-term, however, Thomas Cook’s problems affect the whole industry, and TUI’s attempts to provide differentiation through optional upgrades may help it to stand out.
At present, TUI trades at 9.7 times forward earnings, below the five-year average of 11.8. The shares hit a low of 6.8 times forward earnings earlier in the year, their lowest valuation in over five years. In addition, the shares have a dividend yield of 6.1%.
How to trade TUI’s earnings
TUI’s 14-day average true range (ATR) has risen since the beginning of December, although at 29.3 it is still below the 35 seen in late October. Overall volatility has been relatively low, since June, when a steady recovery in the shares began.
The average move on results day is 3.6%, and half-year results on 15 May saw the shares rise 2.76%.
TUI shares – technical analysis
TUI dropped sharply in 2018, falling from a peak near £17 to £7 by May 2019, but since then have steadily recovered some of the lost ground. The price has established a series of higher highs and higher lows over the past half a year, with a retracement from the November high seeing it fall below the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) of £10.14. The recent drop has pushed daily stochastics back towards oversold levels, and a bullish crossover here may provide a fresh buying opportunity.
TUI climbs as outlook improves
The decline in TUI in 2018 and 2019 was relentless, but it seems to have found a low, with fresh gains since May. Earnings are expected to improve, while the technical outlook is much more bullish. The weakness into earnings may also provide a buying opportunity for those looking to exploit continued gains.
