Trip.com Q1 Profit Drops, Q2 Revenue Growth Guided to Just 3–8%

TCOM

Trip.com reported a decline in first-quarter profit and followed it with muted forward guidance, projecting second-quarter net revenue growth of only 3% to 8%. The announcement triggered an immediate sell-off in shares. As a longer-term offset, management unveiled an ambition to serve 200 million inbound travelers over the next five years.

Why it matters

The 3–8% Q2 revenue growth guide is a meaningful deceleration for a company that has been riding the post-pandemic travel recovery — investors paying a growth premium will reassess quickly. The share price reaction confirms the market expected more. The 5-year inbound travel target is strategically interesting but too distant to cushion near-term multiple compression.
