Tui customers book summer vacation later and winter loss falls + Eon increases operating profit strongly at the start of the year + Barclays starts CTS Eventim with 'Overweight' and target price 130 euros + Deutsche Pfandbriefbank confirms forecast

Tui customers $TUI1 (-0,79 %)book summer vacations later and winter losses fall

• The late Easter date is pushing back the business of the travel group Tui this year.
• On the one hand, the Group missed out on sales and profits from Easter vacations in the winter half-year.
• On the other hand, people booked their trips for the summer later than usual, as the travel group announced in Hanover on Wednesday.
• Nevertheless, Tui was able to reduce the typical seasonal loss in the months from October to March.
• For the financial year to the end of September, CEO Sebastian Ebel sees the company on course to achieve its targets thanks to higher travel prices.
• In the winter half-year, Tui achieved a turnover of just under 8.6 billion euros, almost eight percent more than a year earlier.
• The operating loss adjusted for special effects (adjusted EBIT) shrank by 15 percent to 156 million euros, although the second quarter was weaker due to the lack of Easter business.
• The bottom line for the shareholders in the six months was a loss of just under 392 million euros, six percent less than in the previous year.
• For the current financial year, Ebel is still aiming for an increase in turnover of 5 to 10 percent.
• Adjusted operating profit is expected to increase by 7 to 10 percent.

Eon $EOAN (+1 %)increases operating profit strongly at the start of the year

• Higher investments and colder weather have helped the energy supplier Eon to achieve a jump in earnings in the first quarter.
• Adjusted operating earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) rose by 18 percent year-on-year to €3.2 billion at the start of the year, as Eon announced in Essen on Wednesday.
• "We have laid a good foundation for a successful financial year 2025," said CFO Nadia Jakobi according to the press release.
• She confirmed the annual forecast as well as the targets for 2028.
• In the first quarter, Eon invested almost 1.5 billion euros, around 22 percent more in the expansion of the electricity grid, such as the modernization and digitalization of the infrastructure and new grid connections.
• The grid business accounts for the lion's share of the Group's earnings and is dependent on regulatory framework conditions.
• At the same time, however, Eon was also helped by the fact that it was colder this year than in the previous year and the demand for energy was correspondingly higher.
• Adjusted net profit for the first three months amounted to EUR 1.3 billion, which corresponds to an increase of 22 percent.
• Meanwhile, the profit attributable to shareholders fell by 9 percent to 529 million euros, which is attributable to non-operating earnings effects from derivatives, for example.

Barclays starts CTS Eventim $EVD (+1,28 %)with 'Overweight' and target price 130 euros

• The British investment bank Barclays has started the valuation of CTS Eventim shares with an "Overweight" rating and a target price of 130 euros.
• According to a recommendation issued on Tuesday, Bernd Klanten expects the solid growth and profitability increases at the ticket retailer and event organizer to continue.
• He expects the share price to double within five years.

Deutsche Pfandbriefbank $PBB (+0,27 %)confirms forecast

• Deutsche Pfandbriefbank (pbb) has confirmed its targets after a slightly better quarter than expected by analysts.
• The commercial real estate financier continues to be concerned about the situation in the USA.
• For this reason, the Pfandbriefbank is reviewing all options for its existing business in the United States as well as the timing of the share buyback announced at the beginning of the year.
• In the first three months, the SDax-listed company announced on Wednesday in Garching near Munich that pre-tax profit had fallen by around 18 percent year-on-year to 28 million euros.
• Earnings fell by almost a fifth to 118 million euros.
• However, analysts had expected an even weaker result.
• Bank CEO Kay Wolf therefore also spoke of a solid quarter.
• "We were able to consolidate earnings in our core business and significantly reduce risk costs," he said and also confirmed the forecast for 2025 as well as the medium-term targets up to 2027.

Washington Post reports around 20% universal tariffs + Wells Fargo expresses skepticism about Tesla + Reorganization of Varta completed + Tradegate AG achieves new sales record + Tui set for recovery

Washington Post reports around 20% universal tariffs

• Wall Street has some pressure because of the reciprocal tariffs that are due on Wednesday.
• No one knows exactly how extensive and high the tariffs will be.
• However, the Washington Post reports that Trump will impose a universal tariff of around 20%.
• That would be higher than most Wall Street strategists expect, with a correspondingly high risk of coordinated countermeasures.
• 21:00 US: US President Trump, announcement of reciprocal tariffs

Wells Fargo $WFC (-2,02 %)expresses skepticism about Tesla $TSLA (-1,38 %)

• They point to declining delivery numbers in all key markets as well as diminishing effects of price cuts, which are likely to lead to a deterioration in the automotive margin in 2025.
• The bank remains particularly critical of the planned CyberCab launch in Austin and the announced lower-priced model, for which few details are yet available.
• Sales of new Tesla cars in Denmark fell by 65.6 percent year-on-year to 593 vehicles in March, according to data from Mobility Denmark.

Reorganization of Varta $VAR1completed

• The months-long reorganization of battery manufacturer Varta has been completed.
• "Following the now effective structural and accounting measures of the restructuring concept, its operational implementation will continue as planned until the end of 2027," the company announced.
• Solvency has been strengthened by the proceedings.
• The new owners of the battery manufacturer are the former majority shareholder, Austrian entrepreneur Michael Tojner, and sports car manufacturer Porsche AG.
• Both paid 30 million euros each and now each hold 50 percent of the shares in Varta AG.
• The Group has also received a loan of 60 million euros.
• However, according to earlier information, a larger part of the fresh money has already been earmarked for restructuring costs.
• At the same time, a haircut reduced Varta's liabilities from almost half a billion euros to 230 million euros.

Tradegate AG $T2G (+0 %)achieves new sales record

• Tradegate AG, the market specialist for shares and ETFs on the Tradegate Exchange, achieves a monthly turnover record of 51.34 billion euros in March.
• The previous turnover record of EUR 43.55 billion was set in January 2021.
• In the entire first quarter of the current financial year, turnover amounted to around EUR 127 billion, which corresponds to an increase in turnover of 52.8% compared to the same period of the previous year (EUR 83 billion).
• The number of transactions in the first quarter amounted to 18,405,500, which corresponds to an average transaction volume of EUR 6,900 per individual transaction.
• The significant increase in turnover among private investors in the first quarter is attributable to the high volatility on the capital markets in light of the political uncertainties in Germany, Europe and the USA.
• Investor interest in the first quarter focused in particular on the few German "defense stocks", which reached new price highs with very high turnover.

Tui $TUI1 (-0,79 %)set to recover, Hauck Aufhäuser advises to buy

• Tui shares, which were recently punished with the travel sector, started a recovery attempt on Tuesday.
• Following a buy recommendation from the private bank Hauck Aufhäuser Investment Banking, the share price rose by 4.1 percent.
• However, not much has been gained after a setback of more than 17 percent within a week.
• Recently, a gloomy mood in the sector had contributed to the Tui slump.
• Airlines in particular had suffered heavy losses in recent days due to concerns about demand on transatlantic routes, which is weakening in the face of economic uncertainty, especially among US consumers.
• The previous day, the Travel & Leisure sector index reached its lowest level since August under the impact of US President Donald Trump's policies.
• Marie-Therese Gruebner from Hauck Aufhäuser Investment Banking now praised Tui's "unique and broad-based business model".
• With a high price target of 10 euros, the expert sees a good half of the share price potential.
• The Group differentiates itself with economies of scale and a brand that is a "highly valued seal of quality".
• The expert assumes that the structural demand for travel will clearly overshadow global economic growth with an increase of 5.1 percent.
• Travel remains a priority for consumers and, in her opinion, increasing cost awareness should tend to boost demand for package tours.
• Gruebner gave Tui a "buy" rating on Tuesday.
• She is thus one of the optimists in the dpa-AFX analyst's database.
• It was only in March that JPMorgan started the valuation of Tui shares with "Overweight".
• Deutsche Bank also recommends buying.
• In addition to neutral assessments from UBS, Bernstein and Jefferies, Barclays has issued an underweight recommendation.

Consumer confidence in the USA falls to its lowest level in 4 years

• Consumer sentiment in the USA has fallen to its lowest level for four years.
• The consumer indicator fell by 7.2 points to 92.9 points, according to the Conference Board market research institute in Washington on Tuesday.
• This is the lowest value since the beginning of 2021.
• Economists had expected a fall to 94.0 points.
• However, the figure for January was revised upwards from 98.3 to 100.1 points.
• Consumer expectations deteriorated particularly sharply in March.
• However, the assessment of the current situation also deteriorated noticeably.
• US President Donald Trump's erratic tariff policy is causing fears about future inflation and economic development to grow.
• According to the Conference Board, concerns about economic development and the labor market are also having an increasing impact on people's assessment of their personal situation.
• The recent optimism about future income development has also largely disappeared.
• Persistent inflation, high financing costs and a weaker labor market are weighing on the finances of private households.

Tui $TUI1 (-0,79 %)approach previous week's high on capital market day

• Tui shares became the biggest MDax gainer on Tuesday in view of the Capital Markets Day.
• The shares recently rose by almost four percent.
• At 7.49 euros, the share price approached the previous week's high of 7.54 euros, the highest level in six weeks.
• Analyst Oliver Wojahn from MWB Research spoke of positive signals at the investor event.
• Despite the subdued consumer sentiment in the European core markets, robust demand for travel was emphasized.
• Building on improved credit ratings and the continued focus on profitable growth and cash inflow, the expert mentioned that Tui intends to define a strategy for returns to shareholders by the end of the fiscal year.

Wacker Neuson $WAC (-2,04 %)targets higher earnings after a weak year

• After a difficult year, construction equipment manufacturer Wacker Neuson is aiming for higher earnings thanks to its cost-cutting program.
• The company announced in Munich on Wednesday that it aims to increase its earnings before interest and tax margin to between 6.5 and 7.5 percent in 2024.
• Last year, the operating margin slipped from 10.3% to 5.5% - the final quarter was therefore weaker than analysts had estimated.
• Turnover fell by 16 percent to 2.23 billion euros.
• This year, revenue is expected to remain more or less stable in a range between EUR 2.1 and 2.3 billion.
• Last year, Wacker Neuson struggled with the weak economy in Germany and Europe and had to lower its annual forecasts twice.
• Net profit fell by 62 percent to EUR 70.2 million. The dividend is to be cut from EUR 1.15 a year earlier to 60 cents.

Aroundtown $AT1 (-1,98 %)makes a profit again

• The commercial real estate specialist Aroundtown was back in the black last year.
• On balance, the profit attributable to shareholders amounted to just under 53 million euros in 2024, as the MDax company announced on Wednesday.
• In the previous year, a significant devaluation of the real estate portfolio resulted in a loss of almost two billion euros.
• A decision on whether the company will pay a dividend again is to be made before the Annual General Meeting in June.
• Net rental income shrank by one percent to 1.18 billion euros due to the sale of properties.
• On a comparable basis, rents increased by 2.9 percent.
• The operating profit (FFO1) fell by five percent to just under 316 million euros.
• In addition to the lower number of properties, the perpetual bonds also had a negative impact here.
• For the current year, the real estate group is aiming for a further decline in operating profit and is forecasting between 280 million and 310 million euros.

Today an overview of what can happen to a trader like me. The day before yesterday I fell flat on my face with a derivative on $TUI1 (-0,79 %) with a loss of 35%. Today my derivative is up $ADYEN (-1,12 %) 60%. So the joys and sorrows are so close together. Let's see what else the day brings.

This morning the TUI AG ($TUI1 (-0,79 %) ) FY or Q1 2025 earnings webcast was also held this morning, and I would like to summarize the key points for you.

The first quarter was strong, with revenue up 13% and underlying EBIT up significantly to 51 million euros, mainly driven by the strong performance of Holiday Experiences.

Hotels & Resorts recorded growth of 60 million euros, with a 3% increase in bed numbers, a 2% increase in occupancy and a strong 5% increase in daily rate. The cruise business also performed well, with an increase of 14 million euros despite some refinancing costs. Here, capacity rose by 10%, occupancy by 1% and rates by 4%. TUI Musement also grew by 9 million euros, with the 12% growth in experiences being particularly noteworthy.

Markets & Airlines recorded a decline of 30 million euros. However, there were also positive developments: Dynamic Packaging grew by 18% and app sales by 40%. The integration of Ryanair in December has already shown initial success and further airlines and dynamic connections are set to follow.

In the hotel sector, new locations were opened in Asia, including a Robinson Club in Vietnam and the first TUI Blue Hotel in Indonesia.

Financially, this was the second time that TUI recorded a positive first quarter. The company received a BB rating from Fitch, which represents a positive development in financial stability. The refinancing was completed and the KfW facility was formally removed from the balance sheet.

EBIT development was largely driven by the product sides, in particular hotels and cruises. The decline in Markets & Airlines is attributable to investments in the summer. Cash flow and working capital remained stable, despite the seasonally lower revenue and payments from the summer. Investments were higher this quarter as there were some disposal proceeds in the previous year and hotel projects were postponed.

Bookings for the winter are positive and summer bookings are up 4% year-on-year. The company confirms its forecast for the full year 2025, with revenue growth of 5 % to 10 % and EBIT growth of 7 % to 10 %.

In the following analyst Q&A session, an analyst from Morgan Stanley started after the current trading session. He wanted to know whether the slowdown in bookings in Germany compared to December's figures was a cause for concern. He also asked why hotel average daily rates (ADR) were increasing more in the second half of the year than in the first quarter. The answer was that TUI is benefiting from its global hotel portfolio and rising demand, particularly from America, the Middle East and Asia. In Germany, the focus is on margin protection and volumes are being managed accordingly.

Another point was the rating upgrade, which the analyst addressed. He wanted to know how this would affect the interest expenses of 400 million euros. TUI explained that the improved rating has a direct impact on the costs of the credit facility and will lead to savings in leasing and asset financing in the long term.

An analyst from Bank of America asked about the benefits from the FTI insolvency. The answer was that it is difficult to quantify what impact this will have, but it isbut it is expected that there will be a positive impact.

Richard Clarke from Bernstein asked about the inclusion of Ryanair. He wanted to know if this is in addition to existing capacity. The answer was that capacity will be kept flat while growth will be achieved through dynamic packages such as with Ryanair. It was emphasized that any additional business activity will increase profitability.

Another question related to cruise capacity utilization, which is slightly lower compared to 2019. The response here was that it is expected to return to 2019 levels.

The analyst also asked about a possible dividend payment, to which TUI replied that a dividend strategy will only be presented at the end of 2025, after the financial situation has been stabilized.

An analyst from Deutsche Bank asked about the operating trends in the West region. TUI explained that it does not see a need to sell more firm capacity to protect margins. Instead, growth should come from dynamic package products, as is being done in other countries.

I hope you enjoyed the summary.

Stay tuned!

$TUI1 (-0,79 %) The quarterly results and outlook for 2025 are all good, everything in positive territory, yet the shares are trading at almost -8%? Isn't that exaggerated?

Is there an opportunity to buy more?

I'm still holding on to my shares, I'm still up 40% at the moment.

What do you think about the future of TUI? It looks like it's waking up strongly after the COVID crisis.

Regards

BICO with poor quarterly figures + Trump's tariff threats weigh on stock markets + Tui wants to further reduce debt and invest

BICO Group
$BICO (+8,8 %) delivers very poor quarterly figures

• Net sales amounted to SEK 495.5 million (587.6), which corresponds to a decline of -15.7% compared to the same quarter last year.
• Organic sales growth for the quarter amounted to -12.6% (16.7%). From Q1 2024, BICO reports all organic growth figures in constant currency
• The gross margin amounted to 53.1% (52.8%). As of Q1 2024, BICO has switched to functional reporting and the comparative figures have been adjusted
• Adjusted EBITDA amounted to SEK 39.6 million (94.7), which corresponds to a margin of 8.0% (16.1%)
• EBITDA amounted to SEK 37.0 M (89.5), which corresponds to a margin of 7.5% (15.2%).
• Net profit/loss for the quarter from continuing operations amounted to SEK -247.5 M (-40.1), which corresponds to earnings per share from continuing operations before and after dilution of SEK -3.49 (-0.57)
• Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 45.0 million (3.6)

On his first day in office, US President-elect Donald Trump intends to impose high import tariffs on all goods from Mexico and Canada as well as additional tariffs on goods from China. This will be one of his first executive orders on January 20, Trump explained on the Truth Social platform, which he co-founded.

Tariffs of 25 percent are to apply to goods from Mexico and Canada. The US President-elect justified this with immigrants who bring crime and drugs across these two borders into the USA. Until this stops, the tariffs should remain in force. Both Canada and Mexico have the power to solve the problem. "We hereby call on them to use their power, and until they do, it's time for them to pay a very high price," Trump explained. Additional tariffs of ten percent are to apply to goods from China. Trump also justified this with the fact that drugs such as the deadly fentanyl were entering the USA from the country. Although China has announced that it will take action against this, it has not done so. US President Joe Biden, who is still in office, met China's head of state Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Community (Apec) summit in the Peruvian capital Lima just over a week ago. Xi had assured Biden there that he also wanted to work together with the future US administration under Trump.

With the share price of TUI $TUI1 (-0,79 %) Sebastian Ebel is not satisfied. However, the Tui CEO will not be boosting the share price with a dividend payment for the time being; his focus in the use of free cash flow is on investments and debt reduction. "Our goal is to reduce our net leverage to well below 1x. When we present our figures for the financial year in December, you will see that we have already taken a big step towards this goal," Ebel told the Börsen-Zeitung. The rating has not yet returned to pre-crisis levels. "These components are the basis for formulating a sustainable dividend policy, which is an entrepreneurial decision that we will make in due course," said Ebel. (Börsen-Zeitung)
