+++ Geschäftszahlen +++: Tui erwartet leichten Gewinnrückgang und bremst das Angebot

Tui anticipates a slight decline in profit as it curbs its product offering, according to recent business figures. The German logistics company reported that its sales in August rose by nine percent, despite high energy prices and a sluggish consumer mood. The fast-fashion giant achieved an eleven billion euro revenue in the second quarter of the year, despite challenging economic conditions.

Inditex, the parent company of Zara, reported robust sales in the autumn and winter season, with customers reacting positively to the new collection. The company's second-quarter profit grew by 8.3 percent to eleven point six billion euros, with a 58.7 percent gross margin. CEO Oscar Garcia Maceiras praised the team's "extraordinary abilities" in navigating a complex global environment.

Tui's shares reached a record high of 59.10 euros in the previous month, and market documents suggested that Shein, a discount fashion platform, is experiencing sales slowdown, indicating decreasing competition for European fast-fashion giants like Zara and H&M. Meanwhile, Anthropic aims to become the largest client for specialized processors (XPU) by 2027 and maintain that position in 2028.

Broadcom plans to supply the next generation of Google's Tensor Processing Units (TPU) in large quantities, serving Meta and OpenAI as well. Despite robust growth, the company expects a reduction in gross margin to around seventy-three percent in the fourth quarter, down from seventy-eight percent in the previous year. This is attributed to a changed product mix that burdens the gross margin, said the company's chief.

The operational margin is expected to remain stable. Broadcom plans to invest one point four billion dollars in expanding semiconductor production capacity in the final quarter. For the 2026 fiscal year, the company anticipates a 34 to 37 percent revenue growth, following initial projections of 29 to 33 percent. The adjusted earnings per share are expected to rise to 3.75 to 3.85 dollars. For 2027, HPE forecasts a 13 to 17 percent revenue increase and a 16 to 20 percent profit growth.
