Shares have formed a bearish "flag" following its disappointing results. Quarterly revenue climbed 9.4% year over year, to $829.6 million, and translated to adjusted net income of $0.27 per share. Analysts, on average, were looking for revenue of $827.1 million but higher adjusted earnings of $0.31 per share. For the full year of 2017, Sabre expects revenue of $3.54 billion to $3.62 billion, or year-over-year growth of 5% to 7%, and adjusted earnings per share of $1.31 to $1.45, below the $1.59 expected. Lower share prices are expected for this stock.
