TCOM 4Q25 First Take: Results were solid, with both strengths and weaknesses. The highlight is revenue growth beating prior guidance across the board, with a clear acceleration. A minor weakness is expenses ramped meaningfully, especially marketing, pushing GAAP OP below expectations. Given limited disclosure in the release and the market's focus on recent regulatory issues and potential impact, please refer to the upcoming Trans for more detail. Quarter details: Key points below. 1) Total revenue rose nearly 21% YoY, a clear step-up from 15% last quarter and well ahead of guidance and Street. By biz. line, growth picked up across segments. Outperformance came mainly from package tours and Ads &amp; Other, two smaller lines that surprised on the upside. 2) Alongside strong topline, total opex growth accelerated to 23% YoY despite a tough base, outpacing revenue. The main driver was marketing spend, up 30%+.With JD and Fliggy stepping up, while unlikely to dent TCOM's share, they likely raised traffic acquisition pressure, resulting in GAAP OP coming in ~4% below expectations. More detail will be in the upcoming Trans.

$Trip.com(TCOM.US) $TRIP.COM-S(09961.HK) Here's what happened: Trip.com is under investigation by China's State Administration for Market Regulation over potential monopoly practices. The company has stated that it will cooperate fully with regulators, comply with all requirements, and maintain normal business operations. In terms of market share, the Trip.com Group (including Qunar) holds close to 70% of the GMV in China’s online travel market, with its main platform alone accounting for 56%. Competitors such as Tongcheng, Meituan, Fliggy, and Douyin hold market shares of 15%, 13%, 8%, and 3%, respectively. It is important to note that while holding a dominant market position is not illegal, abusing such a position violates antitrust regulations. Industry-wide scrutiny is intensifying: tourism and homestay associations in regions like Yunnan and Huangshan have launched anti-monopoly initiatives, and authorities have summoned multiple online travel platforms—including Trip.com—for discussions. Market sentiment may remain cautious as the situation evolves. However, the most significant regulatory risks appear to have been largely factored into current valuations.

Eligible Chinese auto exporters can apply for assessment to obtain tariff exemptions, and the framework follows WTO rules and the non-discrimination principle, giving exporters clearer visibility for shipments to Europe. This helps defuse the China‑EU auto trade dispute, benefits major exporters such as BYD and SAIC, and supports value‑chain and supply‑chain stability.2) With CSRC approval, the Shanghai, Shenzhen and Beijing exchanges issued a notice to adjust the margin requirement for margin financing.

Ctrip: Awaiting the Release of Overseas Profits

Trip.com 3Q25 Quick Interpretation: Overall, Trip.com's performance this quarter remains generally stable and better than market expectations. In terms of trends, growth remains steady, but due to relatively high expenses, profit growth still slightly lags behind revenue growth. Specifically: 1. Growth: Total revenue increased by 15.4% year-on-year to 18.34 billion, with a slight deceleration quarter-on-quarter, but still slightly better than expected. In detail, the hotel business, which accounts for the largest proportion, saw a quarter-on-quarter slowdown of about 3 percentage points, partially offset by a slight acceleration in the ticketing business. More meaningful sub-segment growth details need to be observed in the conference call discussions. 2. Gross Profit: Mainly due to the higher proportion of overseas business, which has a lower gross margin, the overall gross margin this quarter still contracted by about 0.7 percentage points year-on-year, resulting in a 14.5% year-on-year increase in gross profit, slightly lower than the revenue growth rate, but still better than Bloomberg's consensus expectations. 3. Expenses and Profit: Similarly, mainly due to the investment in overseas business, expenses this quarter also maintained relatively high growth (+16.7% yoy), exceeding the growth rates of revenue and gross profit. The main driver was a nearly 24% increase in marketing expenses. As a result, with a slight narrowing of the gross margin and expansion of expenses, adjusted operating profit grew by 13% year-on-year this quarter, still in a period of profit margin contraction. However, the trend shows that the extent of profit margin contraction has narrowed compared to the previous two quarters and is better than the company's previous guidance. $Trip.com(TCOM.US) $TRIP.COM-S(09961.HK)
