At €19.765, Is It Time To Buy TUI AG (ETR:TUI1)?

Today we’re going to take a look at the well-established TUI AG (XTRA:TUI1). The company’s stock saw a double-digit share price rise of over 10% in the past couple of months on the XTRA. As a large-cap stock with high coverage by analysts, you could assume any recent changes in the company’s outlook is already priced into the stock. But what if there is still an opportunity to buy? Let’s examine TUI’s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there’s still a bargain opportunity. Check out our latest analysis for TUI

What is TUI worth?

TUI appears to be overvalued by 29% at the moment, based on my discounted cash flow valuation. The stock is currently priced at €19.77 on the market compared to my intrinsic value of €15.29. This means that the opportunity to buy TUI at a good price has disappeared! In addition to this, it seems like TUI’s share price is quite stable, which could mean two things: firstly, it may take the share price a while to fall back down to an attractive buying range, and secondly, there may be less chances to buy low in the future once it reaches that value. This is because the stock is less volatile than the wider market given its low beta.

What does the future of TUI look like?

Investors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. Although value investors would argue that it’s the intrinsic value relative to the price that matter the most, a more compelling investment thesis would be high growth potential at a cheap price. With profit expected to grow by a double-digit 11.53% over the next couple of years, the outlook is positive for TUI. It looks like higher cash flows is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation.

What this means for you:

Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has well and truly priced in TUI1’s positive outlook, with shares trading above its fair value. At this current price, shareholders may be asking a different question – should I sell? If you believe TUI1 should trade below its current price, selling high and buying it back up again when its price falls towards its real value can be profitable. But before you make this decision, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.
