On September 3, TRIP.COM-S fell 3.08% in regular trading, trading at 333.2 HKD/share, with turnover of approximately 3.25 billion HKD. The stock has been under sustained pressure from multiple negative catalysts in recent sessions.
On the regulatory front, the State Administration for Market Regulation previously imposed an administrative penalty on Trip.com Group for abuse of market dominance, with total fines and confiscations amounting to 5.179 billion RMB, including 1.658 billion RMB in confiscated illegal gains, a 3.521 billion RMB fine, and an order to refund 122 million RMB in forcibly deducted hotel operator order reserves. The company has announced 19 rectification measures spanning five dimensions, including ending exclusive partnerships and mandatory lowest-price requirements.
Adding to the pressure, ongoing consumer disputes over perceived excessive ticket cancellation fees — highlighted by a recent case where a 15,217 RMB international flight ticket yielded only a 432 RMB refund — have continued to erode market confidence. China Galaxy Securities noted the company's net margin may face moderate pressure, with analysts estimating commission rate adjustments could directly impact total revenue by approximately 5%.
Furthermore, with Q2 and first-half earnings scheduled for September 16, pre-results caution is amplifying the wait-and-see sentiment among investors.
