# Citi from "Big Banks": Expects Trip.com’s first-quarter revenue to meet expectations; the impact of the Middle East conflict on the company is controllable

Citigroup published a research report indicating that it expects Trip.com (09961.HK) to meet market expectations for revenue and adjusted operating profit in the first quarter of this year.
