TUI stock closed at EUR 6.43 on Xetra on September 18, 2026, losing 2.8% compared with the previous session and underscoring ongoing selling pressure in the tourism group. Per MDAX quote data, the shares traded between EUR 6.60 and EUR 6.39 during the session and saw around 3.8 million shares change hands, marking an active day for the stock. The drop came against a weaker German equity backdrop, with the DAX Performance Index sliding about 1.6% to roughly 25,304 points on September 18, 2026, so TUI underperformed its home market.
September 18, 2026 in numbers
TUI AG (ISIN DE000TUAG505, Xetra: TUAG50) ended the September 18, 2026 Xetra session at EUR 6.43, down from a prior close of EUR 6.61, corresponding to a decline of 2.8% and highlighting renewed pressure on the shares. MDAX intraday data show that the stock's high of the day was EUR 6.60, while the low reached EUR 6.39, placing the close near the lower end of the session range and indicating that sellers dominated into the finish, with about 3.8 million shares traded and turnover of roughly EUR 24.4 million according to the same overview. The same table also points to a 52 week high near EUR 9.56 and a 52 week low around EUR 6.08, meaning the September 18, 2026 close left TUI only slightly above its 52 week trough and more than EUR 3 below its peak, which underlines the stock's weak year to date performance. In the broader market, the DAX Performance Index closed down about 1.6% on September 18, 2026, reinforcing that German equities faced a risk off tone, though TUI's nearly 3% slide showed a steeper move than the benchmark.
Trading statement due today
Looking ahead to today, attention centers on TUI's next trading statement, which is highlighted in a week ahead preview that expects the company to update investors while maintaining full year underlying operating profit guidance of EUR 1.1 billion to EUR 1.4 billion, as AskTraders noted in its recent outlook. The same commentary lists the TUI trading statement among key corporate events alongside central bank speeches and flash PMI releases, underlining that the update may provide fresh guidance color for the travel operator at a time of heightened sensitivity to fuel costs and consumer demand. Investors also continue to monitor broader discussions about geopolitical risks and oil price developments that could influence travel demand and airline and tour operator margins, themes that recent German market articles have flagged as sources of concern for TUI shareholders.
