FBR Capital Starts Sabre Corporation (SABR) at Market Perform

FBR Capital initiates coverage on Sabre Corporation (NASDAQ: SABR) with a Market Perform rating and a price target of $17.00.

Analyst Jake Fuller said, "Sabre Corporation (SABR) is a key player in the travel ecosystem and unlikely to be dislodged as has been often feared over the years. The company's relationship with the airlines has reached a place of relative stability. In addition, Sabre is ramping its higher-multiple software business, and Travelocity has been restructured to reduce drag. All good news, but we do not see a compelling growth story and consider the valuation to be a fair assessment of Sabre’s prospects. That said, we initiate coverage with a Market Perform rating and a 12-month price target of $17 per share. Within the travel technology and services space, we would steer investors toward Expedia (EXPE – Outperform) and Priceline (PCLN – Outperform) where we see a better secular backdrop, superior growth dynamics, and more appealing valuations."
