Trip.com’s Selloff Raises a Bigger Question About Its Travel Recovery Story

Trip.com shares fell 18% to a new 52-week low after the company issued weak Q2 guidance expecting revenue growth to decelerate to just 3-8% YOY from 17% in Q1, despite strong Q1 earnings. The selloff was driven by macroeconomic headwinds including elevated oil prices, geopolitical volatility, and regulatory pressures from China's anti-monopoly investigation. The stock has declined 49% from its January peak, though analysts note it now trades at attractive valuations compared to peers.
