Business

Is the company getting stronger, not just bigger? · 3 findings
−10 of −30
  • Quality of growth
    Revenue growth has fallen from 21% (2023) via 13% and 6% to 3.8% TTM; the largest segment, Air Distribution (47% of revenue), fell slightly TTM (3,096 vs 3,119 EUR m), and reported EPS rose only 2%.
    −4
  • Moat
    Fears that AI-native booking solutions could bypass Amadeus' traditional distribution and IT tools have pressured the stock; Deutsche Bank wants a clearer explanation of how Amadeus is using AI. The threat is not yet in the numbers, but it hits the core of the moat.
    −4
  • Capital allocation
    Buybacks (1.44bn) plus dividend (0.62bn) of EUR 2.07bn TTM exceed the real FCF of about 1.40bn after capitalised development; the difference is borrowed, and net debt rose from EUR 2.24bn to 2.63bn.

Price

Today's multiples against the company's own history and its peers. · 1 finding
−3 of −35
  • Multiples vs own history
    Forward P/E 14.3 vs 18.5–23.1 in 2022–2025 and EV/EBITDA 9.7 vs 12.1–15.7; the lowest in five years, but the discount reflects lower growth. P/B 4.8 and a real FCF yield of about 6.4% (not 9.8%) make it a fair price, not a clear discount.
    −3

Cracks

Cash flow, customers, debt, insiders, guidance and what sits behind the headline numbers. · 1 finding
−4 of −35
  • Lowered guidance
    Bookings fell 3.7% in H1 and 7.6% in Q2 2026 due to the conflict in the Middle East; 2026 guidance cut to mid- to high-single-digit revenue growth (from high single digit) and Air Distribution to low- to mid-single-digit growth (from mid- to high).
    −4

Plus

Only documented strengths. · 1 finding
+2 of +15
  • Diversification
    Air IT Solutions (EUR 2.42bn TTM vs 2.21bn in 2024) and Hospitality (1.08bn) continue to grow and held adjusted EBIT +5% at constant exchange rates in H1 despite falling bookings.
    +2

Caveats

What the score does not capture, or where the data is weak.
Stockanalysis' FCF (EUR 2.14bn, yield 9.8%) does not deduct capitalised development (EUR 695m TTM under intangible assets) nor leasing (EUR 47m); real FCF is about EUR 1.40bn, or about 6.4% of market cap. Guidance and EPS growth are on adjusted EPS (excl. PPA amortisation); reported EPS of 3.03 rose only 2% TTM. The −4% share count matches buybacks of EUR 1.44bn in the cash flow. Deutsche Bank's upgrade (16 Sep) came after the price fall; several price targets from before the downgrade in July have not been updated. The AI threat is a market fear with no named competitor in the source. Insider trading not investigated.
