Sabre's Investment Behind Its Technology is Boasting Financial Improvement and Its Network Edge

Dan Wasiolek

Despite near-term economic and long-term corporate travel demand uncertainty, we expect Sabre to maintain its position in global distribution systems over the next 10 years, driven by a leading network of airline content and travel agency customers as well as its solid position in technology solutions for these carriers and agents. Sabre's 30%-plus GDS air transaction share is the second largest of the three companies (behind narrow-moat Amadeus and ahead of privately held Travelport) that together control about 100% of market volume. Sabre is also a leader in providing technology solutions to travel suppliers.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

The company's GDS network hosts content from all airlines and is used by many travel agents, resulting in a large industry share. Replicating this would involve meaningful time and costs.

Bears

Slowing economic growth presents a headwind to near-term demand for business and leisure travel booked on Sabre's network.
