description: "JPMorgan cut Trip.com's H-share target price to HKD560 and US share target to USD72, maintaining an Overweight rating. The broker views recent weakness as cyclical rather than structural damage from anti-monopoly rectification, which does not impair long-term profitability. Revenue forecasts for Q3 and Q4 2026 were lowered by 6% and 4% respectively due to macro headwinds, but JPM recommends accumulating the stock."
