Joyce Ju has given her Buy rating due to a combination of factors that reflect Trip.com Group’s strong market position and growth prospects. The company reported a 16% year-over-year increase in net revenues, aligning with expectations, and maintained a healthy operating margin. Despite some volatility in business travel demand, leisure travel showed resilience, particularly during peak periods like the Chinese New Year. This robust demand is expected to continue, supported by improved overseas market penetration and favorable visa policies for inbound travel.
Furthermore, Trip.com’s strategic investments and expansion into international markets are anticipated to sustain long-term growth. The company’s leadership in China’s mid-to-high-end travel segments and its ability to adapt to pricing pressures contribute to a positive outlook. The adjustment of the price objective to $70 reflects these growth prospects, and the company’s announced dividend plan further enhances investor confidence. Overall, these factors underpin Joyce Ju’s Buy rating for Trip.com Group Sponsored ADR.
In another report released today, Bernstein also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $75.00 price target.
