TUI stock reacts to supervisory board change as Lundgren named chair

TUI AG stock (ISIN DE000TUAG505) closed at EUR 6.61 on Xetra on September 17, 2026, leaving the travel group’s shares trading clearly below their average analyst target and near the lower end of their 52-week range. As TradingView reported on September 18, 2026, TUI has at the same time announced a leadership change at the head of its supervisory board, nominating former easyJet chief Johan Lundgren as future chair.

Supervisory board to be led by Johan Lundgren

According to TradingView citing a dpa-AFX dispatch on September 18, 2026, TUI said that Johan Lundgren will become chairman of its supervisory board after the Annual General Meeting in February 2027, succeeding long-time chair Dieter Zetsche. The company stated that Lundgren’s appointment will take effect once shareholders have voted at the AGM, marking a planned transition at the top supervisory body about five months from now.

A more detailed account of the personnel move was provided by Finanzen.ch on September 18, 2026, which reported that both shareholder and employee representatives on TUI’s supervisory board have unanimously backed Lundgren’s nomination as the future chair. The same report noted that Zetsche, who formerly headed Daimler, will not stand for re-election at the AGM in February, clearing the way for the leadership change at the top of the supervisory board.

Share price, valuation and analyst targets

Price data from Xetra show that TUI stock ended trading on September 17, 2026 at EUR 6.61, with the previous close recorded at EUR 6.56, implying a daily gain of about 0.8 percent at the primary listing in Frankfurt. Per Xetra statistics cited by comdirect, the trading session on September 17, 2026 saw an intraday high of EUR 6.65 and a low of EUR 6.51, with roughly 12.97 million shares changing hands on the Xetra venue.

The same Xetra overview reproduced by comdirect indicates that over the past 52 weeks TUI shares have traded between a low of EUR 6.08 and a high of EUR 9.56. With the September 17, 2026 close of EUR 6.61, the stock is therefore only about 8.7 percent above its 52-week low while sitting roughly 30.8 percent below the 52-week high, underscoring the weak share price performance in the current financial year.

Market valuation data compiled by MarketScreener on September 18, 2026 put TUI’s equity market capitalization at about EUR 3.85 billion at a price of EUR 6.61, providing investors with a snapshot of the group’s current size on the stock market. In the same context, MarketScreener shows an average analyst price target of EUR 9.96 for TUI shares, implying potential upside of just over 50 percent from the latest Xetra closing price if the consensus were to be reached.

Upcoming trading update and demand picture

Beyond the supervisory board reshuffle, operational visibility for investors will be influenced by a scheduled trading update later in September. As Trading-Treff reported on September 17, 2026, TUI plans to publish a pre-close trading update on September 22, 2026, covering booking trends and demand for the winter 2026/27 season ahead of the fiscal year-end. The article notes that the focus of this update will be on seasonal trends and reservation levels rather than a full set of detailed financial metrics.

The same Trading-Treff analysis highlighted that TUI stock was quoted at around EUR 6.61 in mid-September 2026 and trading clearly below its 50-day moving average of EUR 7.09, a technical configuration that points to a still downward-oriented short-term trend. It also observed that the share price was only about 8.2 percent above the 52-week low, illustrating how recent market caution toward the stock has pushed it close to multi-year lows despite a broadly recovered travel market.

Stock level and investor perspective

With TUI stock at EUR 6.61 on Xetra as of the September 17, 2026 close, in a 52-week corridor from EUR 6.08 to EUR 9.56 and accompanied by an equity market capitalization of roughly EUR 3.85 billion, the shares remain under pressure compared to analyst targets and historical trading ranges. For investors, the combination of an upcoming leadership change at the supervisory board and the pre-close trading update on September 22, 2026 will be key checkpoints in assessing whether the current low valuation and proximity to the 52-week low still adequately reflect the company’s medium-term prospects.
