TUI stock (ISIN DE000TUAG505) was trading at EUR 6.87 at Lang & Schwarz on October 6, 2026 at 1:44 p.m. CEST, up 1.78 percent versus the prior close of EUR 6.75. According to FinanzNachrichten on October 2, 2026, Barclays cut its target from EUR 9.75 to EUR 8.75 in an analyst note dated October 1, 2026, while retaining its Overweight rating.

Guidance range gets tighter

TUI Group narrowed its fiscal 2026 underlying EBIT guidance on September 22, 2026 to EUR 1.20 billion to EUR 1.30 billion, compared with the previous EUR 1.10 billion to EUR 1.40 billion range. The narrower band puts the midpoint at EUR 1.25 billion, below the previous midpoint of EUR 1.25 billion only in width, not in level.

The company linked the update to improved booking momentum and demand in its Holiday Experiences business. The guidance remains conditional on fuel supplies being maintained and geopolitical tensions not escalating materially, which leaves the operating outlook exposed to external shocks.

Bookings improve but trail last year

TUI reported that booked revenue for summer 2026 stood 5.00 percent below the comparable prior-year period as of September 13, 2026, with the last four weeks up 2.00 percent. The United Kingdom was down 7.00 percent and Germany down 2.00 percent, while both markets improved by 1.00 percentage point from the August update.

Winter 2026/27 booked revenue was 7.00 percent below the prior-year period, with the United Kingdom at minus 9.00 percent and Germany at minus 4.00 percent. The last four weeks were 1.00 percent below the comparable winter period, showing a narrower gap but also a later booking pattern.

Barclays target stays above the quote

Barclays cited stronger price discipline than in the past while lowering its target, according to FinanzNachrichten. The new EUR 8.75 target lies 27.37 percent above the EUR 6.87 Lang & Schwarz price, calculated in the same currency. That gap gives the analyst action more weight than the 1.78 percent daily move, but the target cut also shows that expectations have become more cautious.
