Daiwa Capital Markets: Trip.com’s performance last quarter exceeded expectations, and this year's growth outlook is expected to be stable

CICC lowered Trip.com’s target price to RMB 545.1, maintaining an "outperform" rating. Trip.com’s revenue in the fourth quarter grew 21% year-on-year to RMB 15.4 billion, exceeding market expectations by 4%. The non-GAAP net profit was RMB 3.5 billion, surpassing expectations by 8%. Considering regulatory and internationalization risks, the revenue and net profit forecasts for 2026 were lowered by 1% and 13%, respectively

In "Major Banks," China International Capital Corporation lowered Trip.com’s target price to 545.1 yuan, with fourth-quarter performance exceeding expectations, continuing to urge a buy

The Bank of China International research report pointed out that Trip.com’s performance in the fourth quarter is acceptable, with non-GAAP net profit increasing by 15% year-on-year to RMB 3.5 billion, slightly below expectations. It is expected that the core business will maintain growth, but the stock price may face pressure due to uncertainties from the investigation by the State Administration for Market Regulation and potential fines.

In "Major Banks," Bank of China lowers Trip.com's target price to 579 yuan, with fourth-quarter performance expected to be acceptable, but the stock price may be under pressure

UBS report pointed out that Trip.com performed better than expected in the fourth quarter of last year, and it is anticipated that travel demand during the Spring Festival will support hotel revenue growth. Trip.com's outbound business is also expected to grow steadily, with international business revenue projected to maintain an annual growth rate of over 50%. UBS has raised Trip.com's hotel revenue forecast for the first quarter of 2026, but due to an increase in the proportion of losses from overseas operations, the non-GAAP operating profit margin has been adjusted downward. Despite the positive business momentum, antitrust investigations remain a potential negative factor affecting investor sentiment. UBS maintains a "Buy" rating on Trip.com's U.S. stocks, with a target price adjusted to $80

Citi has lowered the target price for Trip.com to $77 and expects its adjusted net profit to be reduced by 8% and 11% in the next two years, respectively. Although Trip.com’s total revenue grew by 21% to RMB 15.4 billion in the fourth quarter of last year, meeting expectations, the uncertainty surrounding the antitrust investigation may affect its profit margins. Citi maintains an "Outperform" rating and expects total revenue to grow by 15% to RMB 15.9 billion in the first quarter of this year

In "The Big Banks," Citigroup lowers Trip.com’s target price to $77, and adjusts next year's earnings forecast down by 11%

Nomura released a report stating that Trip.com Group's performance last quarter exceeded expectations, with total revenue increasing by 21% year-on-year to RMB 15.4 billion, and non-GAAP operating profit growing by 16%. However, due to rising sales and marketing expenses, the non-GAAP operating profit margin decreased to 20.8%. Trip.com has guided for a revenue growth of 12% to 17% year-on-year for the first quarter of this year, with a non-GAAP operating profit margin expected to be 28%. Nomura maintains a target price of $71 for Trip.com’s U.S. stock and reiterates a "Neutral" rating

Citigroup released a research report stating that due to strong travel demand during the Spring Festival holiday, Trip.com-S recorded double-digit growth in both domestic hotel and outbound bookings, with a good growth momentum in the first quarter.

During the Lunar New Year period, domestic hotel bookings and outbound travel both recorded double-digit growth. Although they maintain a cautious attitude towards the monetization of transportation tickets, they believe the upper limit of revenue growth guidance can be reached. The target price has been lowered from $87 to $75, maintaining an "Overweight" rating

Trip.com's Profit Nearly Doubles in Q4 as Revenue Jumps 21%

Trip.com shares fell 3.4% in Hong Kong after reporting Q4 results showing a net profit of 4.28 billion yuan, nearly double last year, and revenue up to 6.29 billion yuan. However, adjusted EBITDA margins dropped to 22% from 35%, raising concerns about profitability. The company cited aggressive international expansion and marketing costs as factors. Analysts remain cautious, with Mizuho lowering its price target but maintaining an Outperform rating, noting the challenges from competition and regulatory scrutiny. The results highlight the complexities of balancing growth and margins in the evolving travel sector.

TCOM 4Q25 First Take: Results were solid, with both strengths and weaknesses. The highlight is revenue growth beating prior guidance across the board, with a clear acceleration. A minor weakness is expenses ramped meaningfully, especially marketing, pushing GAAP OP below expectations. Given limited disclosure in the release and the market's focus on recent regulatory issues and potential impact, please refer to the upcoming Trans for more detail. Quarter details: Key points below. 1) Total revenue rose nearly 21% YoY, a clear step-up from 15% last quarter and well ahead of guidance and Street. By biz. line, growth picked up across segments. Outperformance came mainly from package tours and Ads &amp; Other, two smaller lines that surprised on the upside. 2) Alongside strong topline, total opex growth accelerated to 23% YoY despite a tough base, outpacing revenue. The main driver was marketing spend, up 30%+.With JD and Fliggy stepping up, while unlikely to dent TCOM's share, they likely raised traffic acquisition pressure, resulting in GAAP OP coming in ~4% below expectations. More detail will be in the upcoming Trans.

$Trip.com(TCOM.US) $TRIP.COM-S(09961.HK) Here's what happened: Trip.com is under investigation by China's State Administration for Market Regulation over potential monopoly practices. The company has stated that it will cooperate fully with regulators, comply with all requirements, and maintain normal business operations. In terms of market share, the Trip.com Group (including Qunar) holds close to 70% of the GMV in China’s online travel market, with its main platform alone accounting for 56%. Competitors such as Tongcheng, Meituan, Fliggy, and Douyin hold market shares of 15%, 13%, 8%, and 3%, respectively. It is important to note that while holding a dominant market position is not illegal, abusing such a position violates antitrust regulations. Industry-wide scrutiny is intensifying: tourism and homestay associations in regions like Yunnan and Huangshan have launched anti-monopoly initiatives, and authorities have summoned multiple online travel platforms—including Trip.com—for discussions. Market sentiment may remain cautious as the situation evolves. However, the most significant regulatory risks appear to have been largely factored into current valuations.

0114 | Dolphin Research Focus: 🐬 Macro/Industry 1) The China Chamber of Commerce to the EU said talks on the EU's anti-subsidy probe into Chinese EVs have made solid progress, with the EU set to replace countervailing duties with price undertakings. Eligible Chinese auto exporters can apply for assessment to obtain tariff exemptions, and the framework follows WTO rules and the non-discrimination principle, giving exporters clearer visibility for shipments to Europe.

Ctrip: Awaiting the Release of Overseas Profits

Trip.com 3Q25 Quick Interpretation: Overall, Trip.com's performance this quarter remains generally stable and better than market expectations. In terms of trends, growth remains steady, but due to relatively high expenses, profit growth still slightly lags behind revenue growth. Specifically: 1. Growth: Total revenue increased by 15.4% year-on-year to 18.34 billion, with a slight deceleration quarter-on-quarter, but still slightly better than expected. In detail, the hotel business, which accounts for the largest proportion, saw a quarter-on-quarter slowdown of about 3 percentage points, partially offset by a slight acceleration in the ticketing business. More meaningful sub-segment growth details need to be observed in the conference call discussions. 2. Gross Profit: Mainly due to the higher proportion of overseas business, which has a lower gross margin, the overall gross margin this quarter still contracted by about 0.7 percentage points year-on-year, resulting in a 14.5% year-on-year increase in gross profit, slightly lower than the revenue growth rate, but still better than Bloomberg's consensus expectations. 3. Expenses and Profit: Similarly, mainly due to the investment in overseas business, expenses this quarter also maintained relatively high growth (+16.7% yoy), exceeding the growth rates of revenue and gross profit. The main driver was a nearly 24% increase in marketing expenses. As a result, with a slight narrowing of the gross margin and expansion of expenses, adjusted operating profit grew by 13% year-on-year this quarter, still in a period of profit margin contraction. However, the trend shows that the extent of profit margin contraction has narrowed compared to the previous two quarters and is better than the company's previous guidance. $Trip.com(TCOM.US) $TRIP.COM-S(09961.HK)
