We recently published a list of the 10 Most Undervalued Penny Stocks to Buy According to Hedge Funds. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Sabre Corporation (NASDAQ:SABR) stands against other undervalued penny stocks.

Earlier on March 18, Keith Fitz-Gerald, Fitz-Gerald Group CIO, joined ‘Power Lunch’ on CNBC to talk about how to make sense of the market and the recession versus the growth scare. Keith Fitzgerald has favored some big momentum names in recent years and is still very positive on these stocks, despite feeling frustrated by recent market action. He thinks this volatility partially comes from computers, algorithms, and equity beta. He advised the average investor to focus on fundamentals and pay attention to the insights of leaders like Jensen Huang as a way to move forward. Fitzgerald also revealed that he had been adding to all of his positions over the then-past week and planned to continue doing so, instead of joining the selloff stride. He explained that he invests with a 3, 4, or even 10-year horizon and believes that these companies are dramatically undervalued at present, even if that view is unpopular.

As the conversation turned to how Fitzgerald distinguishes between stocks that have further downside and those that are poised for a turnaround, he suggested slowing down buying rather than trying to perfectly time the bottom. Fitzgerald emphasized that he is more concerned with finding a good entry point than catching the absolute lowest price. He views deeper selloffs as more attractive opportunities, and recognizes that technical factors driven by algorithms are pushing prices. Fitzgerald agreed that the persisting sources of uncertainty remain, such as the ongoing confusion around Trump’s tariff policies and uncertainty in the AI sector. He noted that traders dislike uncertainty above all else because it prevents decisive actions.

However, Fitzgerald remains focused on long-term trends and themes, such as AI, automation, and full-service business models. As he evaluates opportunities, he looks for where this investment will flow, which companies are most likely to benefit, and whose customers are most engaged. For Fitzgerald, the focus remains on companies with high-quality leadership, strong products, and loyal customers.

Sabre Corporation (NASDAQ:SABR) operates as a software and technology company for the travel industry. It has two segments: Travel Solutions and Hospitality Solutions. Some of its products include commercial & operations products and data-driven intelligence solutions. It also has the SabreMosaic, which is an order retailing platform for airlines to create, sell, and deliver personalized content to travelers.

The company’s Hospitality Solutions segment achieved a record-high total revenue in 2024. The Q4 Hospitality Solutions revenue alone was up 8% year-over-year, which was driven by higher Central Reservation System transactions. This is a computerized system that manages hotel room inventory and reservations. The revenue acceleration was also fueled by businesses like the Hyatt deployment, where Sabre’s CRS technology is implemented for the global Hyatt Hotels.

On April 1, Bernstein upgraded Sabre Corp. (NASDAQ:SABR) to Market Perform from Underperform while lowering the price target to $3.50 from $3.60. Reuters reported that the company is engaging Evercore to explore the sale of its hospitality suite SynXis. The company’s SynXis Retail Studio enables hoteliers to enhance revenue through personalized offers. The firm said that a positive stance on Sabre could come from an enhanced sale and commercial momentum in the remaining businesses.

Overall, SABR ranks 6th on our list of the most undervalued penny stocks to buy according to hedge funds.
