10:29 AM EDT, 04/20/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Mwb research remains optimistic on TUI's (TUI1.F) investment outlook, noting that the Germany-based tourism group's financial resilience and capacity to pivot to safer destinations amid the conflict in the Middle East.

"TUI is set to restore standard cruise operations by mid-May 2026 following the successful transit of Mein Schiff 4 and 5 through the Strait of Hormuz. Regional volatility has forced a strategic reshuffle of the winter 26/27 cruise program, with a redeployment of both Mein Schiff 5 and the new Mein Schiff Flow from the Arabian Gulf to more secure, but also more saturated, European and Canary Islands routes,"the research firm said Monday. "Taking into account TUI's restored financial resilience and its ability to redirect capacity to safer destinations, the company appears well-placed to respond to changing geographical demand patterns and mitigate the adverse effects of the current crisis."

As such, the buy rating on the stock and price target of 16 euros were both reaffirmed.

Despite the positive outlook, analysts cautioned the current geopolitical uncertainty and inflationary pressures are expected to result in a decline in new bookings amid a temporary slump in the travel business climate in Germany. Bookings, however, are projected to see a recovery once the geopolitical situation normalizes.
