South African law firm Mbuyisa Moleele and UK-based Leigh Day said they filed the suit ""on behalf of a class estimated to comprise more than 100,000 individuals"" thought to have been poisoned by lead from the mine in Zambia's Kabwe district. The lawsuit alleges Anglo American South Africa (AASA) is liable for emissions of lead into the local environment due to deficiencies in design, and for failing to ensure the clean-up of contaminated land or that ZCCM, a state-owned company which took over the mine in 1974, was warned of the lead hazard. | Hong Kong’s beleaguered airline is cutting around 8,500 jobs, or 24% of the group's headcount, and shutting down sister brand Cathay Dragon.

The investigation of Sunday's crash has added urgency since the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on Wednesday grounded the 737 MAX aircraft, citing satellite data and evidence from the scene that indicated some similarities and ""the possibility of a shared cause"" with October's crash in Indonesia that killed 189 people.

Johnson DUBLIN/SEATTLE, March 13 () - Deliveries of Boeing's best-selling 737 MAX jets were effectively frozen on Wednesday, though production continued, after the United States joined a global grounding of the narrowbody model over safety concerns, industry sources said. Boeing produces 52 aircraft per month and its newest version, the MAX, represents the lion's share of production, although Boeing declined to break out exact numbers. Each month of the grounding could cost Boeing around $1.8 billion to $2.5 billion in delayed revenue, according to analyst estimates, although that could be recouped once the ban is lifted and the planes are delivered. | March 14 () - UK shares rose on Thursday as financials cheered British lawmakers' rejection of a no-deal Brexit and oil majors were buoyed by higher crude prices, but mid-cap retirement services specialist Just Group slumped following plans to raise funds.

Any upside above $65 would be lost if the stock rises there and is called away, but AAL shares would have to advance 28.8% from current levels for that to happen, meaning that in the scenario where the stock is called, the shareholder has earned a 35% return from this trading level, in addition to any dividends collected before the stock was called.

Selling a put does not give an investor access to AAL's upside potential the way owning shares would, because the put seller only ends up owning shares in the scenario where the contract is exercised.

Not surprisingly, management's cash bonuses, along with its sponsors' management fees, are solely linked to reported EBITDA This linkage provides clear incentives to game the EBITDA figures Valuation Disconnect Suggesting 40%-60% Downside : Smelling a fee bonanza from repeated equity and debt issuances, a grand total of 13 analysts all have ""Buy"" recommendations and see upside to an average price target of $3342 (+17%) In our opinion, it's easy to refute the bull case from analysts flawed investment assumptions At approximately 34x and 105x 2016E Street sales and Adj EBITDA estimates, respectively, Sabre appears fairly valued to peers (on inflated street numbers) Amadeus ( OTCPK:AMADF ) and Travelport (NYSE: TVPT ) During the heavily touted LBO, venerated investment bankers at Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley issued a fairness opinion suggesting a terminal EBITDA multiple range of 65x-80x Given our belief that post-LBO, no underlying financial improvement has been created, and at worst accounting gimmicks are masking deterioration, we find it baffling how analysts can justify the current valuation Furthermore, analysts fail to adjust their models for Sabre's $387m tax receivable liability that starts coming due in 2017 and has real cash flow implications We also adjust Sabre's financials for the aggressive capitalization of recurring and normal upfront cash incentives As a result, we derive a long-term price target of $1200 - $1700 per share, or 40-60% downside II Brief Overview of Sabre Sabre Corp, headquartered in Southlake, TX comprises two segments: Travel Networks and Airline and Hospitality Solutions In 2015, the company reported total revenues of $29bn, Adj EBITDA of $941m, Adj Free Cash Flow of $299m, and Adj EPS of $110/share Sabre was taken private in 2007 by TPG and Silver Lake at a 30% premium for $3275/share, valuing the deal at approximately $50bn (including the assumption of $550m of net debt) and subsequently IPO'ed in April 2014 at $1600 per share, giving Sabre an enterprise value of $75bn With an 80% appreciation in the shares, Sabre's market cap and enterprise value are $78bn and $113bn, respectively Travel Networks Segment 2015 Revenues of $2,102m and Adj EBITDA of $877m (71% of total revenue and 73% of total Adj EBITDA 1 ) Global business-to-business travel marketplace and consists primarily of its Global Distribution System (""GDS"") and a broad set of solutions that integrate with its GDS to add value for travel suppliers and travel buyers GDS facilitates travel by bringing together travel content such as inventory, prices, and availability from a broad array of travel suppliers, including airlines, hotels, car rental brands, rail carriers, cruise lines and tour operators, with a large network of travel buyers, including online travel agencies (""OTAs""), offline travel agencies, travel management companies (""TMCs"") and corporate travel departments Airline and Hospitality Solutions Segment: 2015 Revenues of $872m and Adj EBITDA of $323m (29% of total revenue and 27% of total Adj EBITDA (1)) Airline and Hospitality Solutions business offers a broad portfolio of software technology products and solutions, through software-as-a-service (""SaaS"") and hosted delivery model, to airlines, hotel properties and other travel suppliers Airline and Hospitality Solutions aggregates Sabre's Airline Solutions and Hospitality Solutions operating segments (1) pre-corporate overhead Capital and Debt Structure Sabre IPO'ed at $16/share in April 2014 Its aggressive leverage, reflective of a junk credit status with S&P and Moody's, and its high valuation leave no margin for error in disappointing Wall Street's analysts Note: We include the $387m book value of the Tax Receivable Agreement liability in our valuation It has near-term cash implications, with payments expected starting 2017 Other liabilities that could affect the valuation include $96m of pension liabilities and $102m representing the present value of operating leases Sabre has significant debt of $32bn ($36bn inc the TRA) and it has a $381m of available revolving credit as of 12/31/15 which expires in 2018/2019 (click to enlarge) (click to enlarge) Key Events Inflating Sabre's Stock Price Sabre's IPO priced well below the $18-$20 indicated range, but has appreciated +80% on the back of earnings increases, a debt refinancing, and selective M&A deals Our report will focus on the ""quality"" of Sabre's earnings, especially in relation to the aggressive accounting for Sabre's Abacus deal (click to enlarge) III Fundamental Short Thesis and Evidence Suggesting Limited/No Value Creation Post LBO Summary of Fundamental Concerns Sabre's core Travel Network (GDS) business is under pressure while its transition to higher margin services is slow to materialize, and coming with substantial capex costs Furthermore, we believe little/no financial value has been created at Sabre Pre/Post its LBO in 2007 Key Issues Short-Term Contracts with Significant Renewal Risk : Contracts are typically structured for 1-3 years and a meaningful portion of travel buyer agreements typically representing 15%-20% of bookings are up for renewal in a given year!

Right now, AAL has a forward PE of just 5.80, which means that investors are paying $5.80 for each dollar in expected American Airlines Group earnings this year. This method discovered several great candidates for value-oriented investors, but today let's focus on American Airlines Group Inc.AAL as this stock is looking especially impressive right now. | Delta's earnings by the numbers In Q4, Delta's revenue declined 1.5% year over year to $9.50 billion. Looking at revenue and costs Delta's 1.6% decline in passenger unit revenue was a lot better than the 2.5%-4.5% decline that it had projected at the beginning of the quarter. This could drive a sharp improvement in the unit revenue trend for Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, and United Continental -- which might be the signal for the next big rally in airline stocks. | Stocks to Consider Here are some companies to consider as our model shows they have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat this quarter: American Airlines Group Inc.
