1118 | Dolphin Research Focus: 🐬 Macro 1. Today, both Hong Kong and A-shares collectively declined as the market's expectation for a December rate cut by the Federal Reserve continued to decrease. According to CME's &#34;FedWatch&#34;, the probability of a 25 basis point rate cut by the Federal Reserve in December has dropped to 42.9%, previously exceeding 70%. Federal Reserve Governor Waller also stated that if the job market rebounds, the necessity for an insurance rate cut will diminish. Additionally, the sell-off pressure on tech stocks and the Japanese bond market faced a sell-off wave due to concerns that the Kishida government will implement a large-scale fiscal expansion plan. Under multiple factors, global markets collectively declined...

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)

Overall revenue maintained a stable high growth rate, slightly exceeding expectations, while actual expenses were lower than expected, resulting in a more impressive profit performance.1. Total revenue increased by 16.2% year-on-year, consistent with the previous quarter, with no deceleration. Hotel and advertising revenues maintained high growth, and ticketing revenue also rebounded from the bottom.2. Gross margin met expectations, rebounding to 81% quarter-on-quarter, but still narrowing by 0.9 percentage points year-on-year (due to the structurally higher proportion of lower-margin overseas business). Gross profit increased by 15% year-on-year, also slightly exceeding expectations.3. While growth performance was slightly better than expected, actual marketing expenses accounted for 22.4% of revenue this quarter, lower than the company's guidance of 24%.

Ctrip: Another increase in revenue without profit growth, even the top student is facing challenges?

Trip.com's performance this quarter can be described as stable within expectations, but also somewhat lackluster.In terms of the big numbers, total revenue of 13.8 billion was exactly in line with market expectations, but the absolute revenue growth rate of 16% remains relatively high among leading Chinese internet companies.In terms of profitability, gross margin was slightly below expectations, but the difference was small and had little impact; the main point is that although the company previously guided for significantly higher marketing expenses, the actual increase was not as high as expected—about 300 million lower. As a result, operating profit also slightly exceeded expectations by 300 million. And this was the &#34;biggest highlight&#34; of the quarter's earnings report. However, in absolute terms, adjusted operating profit only increased by about 7% year-over-year, truly reflecting the company's guidance of &#34;revenue growth without profit growth,&#34; which is not particularly good.$Trip.com(TCOM.US)$TRIP.COM-S(09961.HK)
