Looking ahead to next year, TUI hopes to reduce its gross leverage, and to restore its credit rating – which Standard & Poor’s lowered to ‘CCC+’ from ‘B-‘, with a negative outlook, in June. The group also aims to return to profitability. For 2022, it seeks a return to normalised levels of demand and profitable growth. But broker Jefferies sees such targets as ambitious and points to unsustainable long-term debt levels. While it is nigh-on impossible to determine when, and how, the travel industry will return to some sense of normality. An opinion before the rights announcement. SELL
