Travel and tourism group TUI (TUI1) saw the price of its stock drop by almost 3% in early morning trading after delivering a mixed annual report.

The price fell to €2.40 ($2.71) shortly after opening in Frankfurt today. The company posted a loss for the year to end of September of  € 2.47bn – with revenue down to €4.73bn from €7.94bn for 2020.

The German-based company, like all firms in this sector, has struggled since Covid restrictions severely affected tourism. TUI’s hotel, airline and cruise businesses have all been hit by low booking levels.

TUI stressed that it was close to reaching break-even in the final quarter of 2021 and pointed to a year-end net debt of €5bn, a reduction of €1.4bn since the third quarter.

Optimism for 2022 recovery

Though there remain uncertainties regarding the future effect of Covid variants on travel, TUI expects travel bookings in summer 2022 to return to pre-pandemic levels.

In its report, the company said: “Looking ahead to the 2022 summer season, we are positive. The indicators and trends are intact; summer 2022 is well booked and currently in line with capacity expectations.”

“Presently, at the end of 2021, we are seeing the fourth wave [of Covid], among others in our home market Germany. At the same time, many countries in southern Europe are very stable, with low incidences and high vaccination rates. These are destinations that were also well booked and very safe last winter.

“However, it is crucial to look ahead to spring and summer 2022. It is still too early to make a real forecast for the 2022 summer season. But we are optimistic that tourism will be able to recover to 2019 levels next summer.

“At the same time, we also know from 2021 that bookings will be made much later and at shorter notice. Bookings for summer 2022 from all TUI markets are already very encouraging.”

The difference between trading assets and CFDs
The main difference between CFD trading and trading assets, such as commodities and stocks, is that you don’t own the underlying asset when you trade on a CFD.
You can still benefit if the market moves in your favour, or make a loss if it moves against you. However, with traditional trading you enter a contract to exchange the legal ownership of the individual shares or the commodities for money, and you own this until you sell it again.
CFDs are leveraged products, which means that you only need to deposit a percentage of the full value of the CFD trade in order to open a position. But with traditional trading, you buy the assets for the full amount. In the UK, there is no stamp duty on CFD trading, but there is when you buy stocks, for example.
CFDs attract overnight costs to hold the trades (unless you use 1-1 leverage), which makes them more suited to short-term trading opportunities. Stocks and commodities are more normally bought and held for longer. You might also pay a broker commission or fees when buying and selling assets direct and you’d need somewhere to store them safely.
