Q: CSU bought 10.6 million more SABR shares at about $1.16 each.
• They now own 50.2 million shares, or 12.7% of the company.
• CSU is now Sabre’s second‑largest shareholder.
TD anaylist think CSU wouldn’t buy this much unless they see a big opportunity to create value.
They hint that:
• Software valuations have dropped because of AI fears.
• That makes it a good time for CSU to buy distressed companies cheaply.
TD analysts think CSU may be preparing a recapitalization — basically a financial rescue that could include:
• Debt-for-equity swap (creditors get shares instead of debt)
• Spin-out structure like CSU used for Topicus (TOI) and Lumine (LMN)
• Some new creative structure CSU hasn’t used before
it’s about Sabre being broken, and CSU being one of the few companies skilled enough to fix it.
An Advisor on Bnn actually has CSU as a top pick today.
In view of the events that are occurring would this be a good time to leverage down on CSU in a tax free account.
Thank you for your great help and thanks Rick

5i Research Answer:
We would be fine with adding to CSU here. The valuation is attractive and lower software valuations should mean better forward return potential on any acqusitions they make and it also increases the number of companies they can purchase (lower pries means acqusiiton budget goes further). The shares also appear to be bottoming and finding some support recently.
