What Happened?
A number of stocks fell in the afternoon session after the major indices pulled back (Nasdaq -1.3%, S&P 500 -1.1%) as Israel carried out significant strikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites. This development has sent crude oil prices surging, as investors fear potential disruptions to global oil supply and a wider regional conflict.
The conflict intensified market anxiety, compounding existing volatility, especially in risk assets like stocks, and prompting a pronounced shift toward safe-haven assets.
The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks.

Zooming In On Sabre (SABR)
Sabre’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 34 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for Sabre and indicate this news significantly impacted the market’s perception of the business.
The previous big move we wrote about was 17 days ago when the stock gained 5.1% after the major indices rebounded (Nasdaq +2.0%, S&P 500 +1.5%) as President Trump postponed the planned 50% tariff on European Union imports, shifting the start date to July 9, 2025. Companies with substantial business ties to Europe likely had some relief as the delay reduced near-term cost pressures and preserved cross-border demand.
Sabre is down 26.3% since the beginning of the year, and at $2.63 per share, it is trading 41.8% below its 52-week high of $4.52 from February 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Sabre’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $310.14.
