June 23: Panmure Gordon reiterates: Buy - TP held: 188p

There may be some negative fallout for TC. A woman on BBC just now was complaining that her tour company (Thomas Cook) had done nothing to get her out of the Tunisian resort and that they were getting no information from TC. They were told that they would be leaving right away. They went to the airport and discovered the TC plane had left in the middle of the night almost empty. She was ppretty angry and complaining a lot about TC.

Fingers crossed I went short @ 148.25

Bad PR again. They seem accident prone.

Holiday firm Thomas Cook has confirmed it will not refund any holidays booked for Tunisia to begin after July 4th.

The announcement will affect hundreds of customers who had paid deposits on breaks in the North African nation before today's massacre in the resort of Sousse.

At least 39 people, including five Britons, were killed when a gunman opened fire on holidaymakers.

The incident, which comes after an attack on the Bardo Museum in Tunis in March which left 24 dead, has led to a flood of requests from travellers for their money back from tour operators.

In a statement today Thomas Cook said that it was offering customers due to travel to Tunisia "up to and including 4th July the opportunity to cancel or amend their holiday free of charge.

"For those travelling from 5th July, we are offering to amend their bookings to Tunisia free of charge for holidays departing up to and including 31st July 2015."

This means customers with holidays booked after July 4th will not get refunds.

Not the most encouraging chart, but wtfdik.

Hmmmm....120p anyone? Makes the broker TP's look a bit ridiculous.

Moved my stop to 128.25 lock in + 20. Probably due a dead cat bounce.

This ,fund manager is buying TC on the dips.

I guess your short is doing well. So much for brokers' recommendations!

Thomas Cook Group narrows Q3 pretax loss

StockMarketWire.com

Thomas Cook Group has narrowed its Q3 pretax loss to £44m, from a loss of £81m. Revenue was £1.95bn, from £2.22bn. Overall, the group said it performed in line with management's expectations for the quarter.

"Despite the weaker bookings position highlighted at our interim results, our UK, Continental Europe and Northern Europe businesses have all delivered increased EBIT, while Airlines Germany is slightly behind last year's strong comparator," it said in a statement.

"However, our fourth quarter bookings have been disrupted by events in Tunisia and Greece, which we expect will reduce Group EBIT for the full year by approximately £25 million, compared with our previous expectations.

"In addition, based on current rates, we expect foreign exchange translation to reduce full year Group EBIT by approximately £39 million, up from the £25 million we announced at our interim results due to further depreciation of the Euro and Swedish Krona against the Pound. On a constant currency basis, we nevertheless remain confident that Thomas Cook will achieve growth in FY15."

Highlights:

· Twelfth consecutive quarter of improved profitability

· Operating profit increased by £53 million for the quarter

· Net debt reduced by £111 million to £392 million

· Good progress in developing joint initiatives with our strategic partner, Fosun

· Summer holiday bookings to most destinations are in line with expectations

· However, the recent tragic events in Tunisia, and concerns regarding Greece's potential exit from the Euro, are expected to impact FY15 EBIT by approximately £25 million

· The foreign exchange translation impact on FY15 EBIT is expected to be £39 million (up from £25 million at our interim results), following further depreciation of the Euro and Swedish Krona against the Pound

· Despite these impacts, we continue to expect growth in FY15 on a constant currency basis
