Trip.com Group Ltd (TCOM) is not a strong buy at the moment for a beginner, long-term investor with $50,000-$100,000 to invest. While the company has shown strong financial growth and positive analyst sentiment, the current technical indicators, negative news sentiment, and lack of proprietary trading signals suggest waiting for a more favorable entry point.
The technical indicators show a bearish trend. The MACD is negative and expanding downward, RSI is neutral but close to oversold levels, and moving averages indicate a bearish alignment (SMA_200 > SMA_20 > SMA_5). The stock is trading near its S2 support level of 53.576, with resistance levels far above the current price. This suggests limited immediate upside potential.
Strong Q3 financial performance with revenue up 15.53% YoY, net income up 194.01% YoY, and EPS up 188.22% YoY.
Analysts have raised price targets significantly, with targets ranging from $82 to $90, citing strong booking volumes and disciplined spending.
Hedge funds are increasing their positions, with buying activity up 118.94% over the last quarter.
Multiple investigations and potential class action lawsuits against the company for securities fraud and misleading information, creating uncertainty.
Bearish technical indicators and a projected negative short-term stock trend (-0.64% next day, -1.53% next week, -2.85% next month).
Lack of proprietary trading signals (AI Stock Picker and SwingMax) for a buy recommendation.
In Q3 2025, Trip.com demonstrated strong financial growth with revenue increasing by 15.53% YoY to $18.34 billion, net income surging by 194.01% YoY to $19.89 billion, and EPS growing by 188.22% YoY to 28.62. However, gross margin slightly declined by 0.83% YoY to 81.68%.
Analysts are highly positive on the stock, with multiple firms raising price targets (ranging from $82 to $90) and maintaining Buy or Overweight ratings. Analysts cite strong Q3 results, robust holiday demand, and scalable growth potential as key drivers.
