SABR

Sabre screens as a deep-value oddity — $1.96 stock, 0.3x sales, 1.5x reported P/E — but the FY2025 numbers are not what they appear. The $525M net income and $1.34 diluted EPS were flattered by the July 3, 2025 sale of Hospitality Solutions to TPG, which the MD&A confirms produced $965M net cash that was 'used primarily to repay our outstanding indebtedness.' Strip the gain and you have a business that managed only $295M in operating income on $2.77B of revenue (10.7% op margin) and burned $109M of operating cash — a $290M reversal from prior year. Applying P/E to a one-time number is misleading; the cleaner read is 2.6x EV-ish on operating income against a still-bloated $4.35B debt stack.

The filing language tells a sober story. Management explicitly flags that 'recent industry air distribution volume growth has generally leveled off, which may continue into the future,' and is launching a 2026 restructuring (already $51M accrued, ~$65M total estimated) just to keep tech and SG&A 'relatively flat' versus 2025 — i.e., the cost program is defensive, not growth-funding. IT solutions revenue has only 'leveled-off' after carrier de-migrations, not re-accelerated. Revenue growth was a tepid +1.0% YoY, and 4-year revenue CAGR from FY2021's $1.69B post-COVID trough is decelerating fast as the recovery base effect fades.
