TUI Group is among the corporates that are set to update markets on Tuesday.
The international tour group is set to report on first quarter earnings and analysts at ShoreCap anticipate that management will confirm an extra €220.0-270.0m charge linked to the grounding of Boeing's 737 Max being extended into the peak summer season.
Hence, the company was expected to cut its guidance range for its full-year earnings before interest, taxes, and amortisation to €680.0-830.0m, versus €893.0m in 2019.
"We would expect the update to report trading consistent with prior guidance, noting the improved supply-demand balance in the UK market, albeit the range is likely to narrow."
