Sabre ( (SABR) ) has issued an update.

On May 18, 2026, Sabre GLBL Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Sabre Corporation, issued $150 million of 7.00% exchangeable senior notes due 2031, which are senior unsecured obligations guaranteed by Sabre and Sabre Holdings. The notes carry semi-annual interest, feature an initial exchange price of about $2.24 per Sabre share, include investor exchange and put rights, and allow Sabre GLBL to redeem after May 21, 2029 if certain stock price conditions are met.

In related privately negotiated purchase agreements signed on May 13, 2026, Sabre placed the new notes with qualified institutional buyers and accredited investors and used part of the proceeds to repurchase $100 million of its 7.32% exchangeable senior notes due 2026 at par, with plans to retire the remaining $50 million. The transaction effectively refinances Sabre’s near-term exchangeable debt without increasing overall indebtedness and may spur hedging activity by noteholders that could weigh on the trading prices of Sabre’s stock and both the new and existing notes.

The most recent analyst rating on (SABR) stock is a Hold with a $1.75 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Sabre stock, see the SABR Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on SABR Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, SABR is a Neutral.

The score is primarily held back by weak financial quality (negative equity, high leverage, and negative operating/free cash flow) despite improved earnings. Earnings-call commentary is constructive with reaffirmed 2026 EBITDA/FCF guidance and Q1 outperformance, but near-term bookings headwinds and cash-flow pressure remain. Technically, the stock shows neutral-to-weak momentum, while valuation is only moderately supportive.
