Thomas Cook lowered its earnings guidance, citing terrorism and over-capacity in the airline industry, pushing shares down almost 20%. The news came as rumours suggested that the company may be the next travel company to be sold, with shareholder Fosun a likely buyer. The group said that it was continuing to work on a hotel investment fund to acquire hotels and resorts in its core destination markets, using capital from third-party investors, including Fosun and its portfolio companies. CEO Peter Fankhauser, told analysts: “Fosun is totally committed to give us the money. But given the fact that we have these changes in demand patterns and, therefore, an overwhelming demand to Spain, in Spain the hotels are at their peak.

Thomas Cook shares inched up slightly today following media speculation that the tour operator could be bought by Club Med-parent Fosun International. Take from above what you want.Ive been informed it will happen soon

Glad I got out at 21 with oil glut and China could be on the way down

The price of oil plummeted by more than $2 in just over an hour on Thursday afternoon after fresh US data showed that oil stockpiles are not reducing by as much as expected. The Brent benchmark traded at around $49.50 a barrel for much of the afternoon before plunging to just above $47.15 after a US energy authority said the country’s oil reserves reduced by just 2.2m barrels at the end of June. The modest decrease is in stark contrast to data from American Petroleum Institute which suggested that stocks have fallen by 6.7m barrels, and disappointed traders expecting a greater relief from the chronic oversupply of oil in the global market. The oil price has shed almost 6pc this week alone, from over $50 a barrel on Monday.

Sound buy With Thomas Cook trading on a PEG ratio of just 0.2, it seems to offer excellent value for money. In the long run it could prove to be an excellent investment, but in the short term things could realistically get worse before they get better. Therefore, for less risk-averse investors Thomas Cook looks like a sound buy, but could trade lower over the coming months.

Shares in Thomas Cook enjoyed a minor rally today amid City speculation that the travel group could be a takeover target.

The bid rumours emerged late on Monday in a Daily Mail market report which also claimed that rival Tui Group or Fosun could bid directly or via Cook to launch a play for Kuoni.
