On June 22, Trip.com Group fell 3.06% in regular trading, trading at 344.0 HKD/share, with turnover of HKD 137 million.
The decline comes amid intensifying multi-front regulatory pressure. The Shanghai Cyberspace Administration recently issued a RMB 10 million fine for data cross-border transfer violations — the first penalty of this magnitude in China's OTA industry — citing failure to conduct required data export security assessments under the Personal Information Protection Law. Trip.com has confirmed compliance and initiated a comprehensive internal review.
More critically, an antitrust investigation launched in January by the State Administration for Market Regulation remains unresolved after five months. The probe targets alleged abuse of market dominance, including forced exclusivity arrangements and algorithmic pricing manipulation. Institutional estimates place potential fines at a median of approximately RMB 2 billion, representing roughly 10% of annual adjusted net profit.
Adding to investor caution, the company is scheduled to release quarterly earnings on June 25, with market consensus expecting approximately 14.73% year-over-year revenue growth. The convergence of regulatory overhang and earnings uncertainty appears to be weighing on sentiment.
