Narrow-Moat Amadeus Reports Mixed 1Q; Shares Overvalued

Amadeus reported mixed first-quarter results that included weaker global distribution system volume and sales per passenger boarding, offset by healthier sales per GDS booking and organic PB volume. We don’t expect much change to our EUR 47.50 fair value estimate. We see the shares as overvalued, trading at 25 times 2018 earnings. For investors seeking industry exposure, narrow-moat Sabre is valued at 16 times this year’s earnings and trades at a discount to our $27 fair value estimate.
