What to look at in Amadeus if you are starting out

Before looking at the Amadeus share price, it helps to understand six things. The Fintols analysis answers them in this order, with the numbers from its accounts and every difficult word explained.

1. How Amadeus makes money

A company in travel software like Amadeus usually charges for subscriptions, for use of its platform, for ads or for every payment that goes through its system. The report shows which part of its sales comes from each business and each region of the world.

2. Whether it is really growing

What matters is whether customers keep paying year after year and spend more and more inside the platform. Fintols compares its sales and profit with a year ago and tells you in one sentence whether things are getting better or worse.

3. What protects it from competitors

In travel software, the defence is usually the fact that switching to another service costs time and money, and that the more users it has, the more useful it is for everyone. A well-protected company can keep what it earns for years.

4. Whether it is cheap or expensive

Fintols estimates what AMS could be worth if things go badly, normally or very well, and compares it with what it costs today. It is not a prediction: it is a way to see whether the price already assumes a very good future.

5. What it does with its profit

It can reinvest to grow, buy back its own shares or pay it out as a dividend. That mix says a lot about its priorities.

6. What could go wrong

The typical risks in travel software are competition from giants with deep pockets, privacy rules and growing less than the price already assumes. The report explains each one and what would happen if it occurred.
