On June 25, Trip.com fell 5.66% overnight, trading at $43.68/share, with turnover of $186,500. The decline was driven by a weaker-than-expected Q1 earnings report and soft forward guidance.
The company reported Q1 revenue of RMB 16.208 billion, up 17% year-over-year and slightly above consensus estimates of RMB 15.838 billion. However, net income attributable to shareholders came in at only RMB 2.499 billion, down 41.57% year-over-year. Adjusted EPS of RMB 5.73 per ADS missed analyst expectations of RMB 6.09. More critically, management guided Q2 net revenue growth of approximately 3%-8% year-over-year, a sharp deceleration from the 17% growth achieved in Q1, weighing heavily on sentiment.
Beyond the earnings miss, the company faces intensifying regulatory headwinds. Trip.com was recently fined RMB 10 million by Shanghai cyberspace authorities for illegally transferring user personal data overseas without completing required security assessments. The company is also under a formal antitrust investigation by China's State Administration for Market Regulation over alleged abuse of market dominance, including practices such as forced exclusivity and algorithmic price discrimination.
