Company Report

Trip.com on Pace for Full Recovery in 2024, but Travel Demand May Be Decelerating

Narrow-moat Trip.com competes in China’s crowded online travel agent, or OTA, industry by leveraging the largest selection of both domestic and international hotels in China on its platform and relying on user stickiness as a one-stop shop for travel ticketing, accommodations, and packaged tours. The platform is now also generating revenue from advertisement in which it hopes to take 3%-5% of the ad market, but nearly all its revenue streams are travel-related, and coronavirus lockdowns in China has cratered demand due to the inability to travel or unwillingness to quarantine.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

The number of Chinese passport holders is only about 10%-15% of the population, which should provide Trip.com with secular demand given the low saturation.

Bears

International expansion may fall flat given greater competition beyond China's borders and could pressure margins as it prioritizes growth.
