RE: P/E RATIO 2023 & 202419 Apr 2023 19:16
I think the answer to my question could be below, not sure so please correct if need be.
1. Registered Shares after rights issue = 507 mil
2. Projected net earnings 2023: £147mil (€167mil) & 2024: £179mil (€203mil)
3. Projected net earnings per share 2023: 29p & 2024: 35.3p
4. Current Share Price @ £5.40
5. P/E Ratio 2023: 18.6
6. PE/Ratio 2024: 15.3
In my opinion all the rights issues to date have been to reduce debt because of the pandemic and not for growth so that's just money down the drain for all those who participated in the rights which massively diluted their holdings.
Now that the debt is lower, thanks to the unfortunate donation of all who participated in the rights issues, which I do understand the horrible losses you have endured.
There may be an investment case for TUI even though the debt is still high but at what entry point and that depends on what P/E ratio you are prepared to pay for based on information available for 2023 and 2024?
The question is what P/E ratio is fair considering the headwinds, 1. Still high debt. 2. Interest rates significantly higher than pre pandemic levels, cost of debt higher. 3. Cost of living pressures and the choices people have to make regarding expenditure. Potentially, further interest rate rise to come.
If these assumptions are correct TUI shares are not cheap?
So further downside to come in my opinion, would appreciate your thoughts on what you think the shares are worth based on fundamentals going forward.
Thanks
