Overweight
Reason
Morgan Stanley maintained an Overweight rating on TONGCHENGTRAVEL due to the company's 3Q25 results slightly exceeding expectations. The revenue surpassed forecasts by 1%, driven by a 15% year-over-year growth in the core online travel agency (OTA) business, which outperformed the domestic industry level. Additionally, TONGCHENGTRAVEL achieved a gross margin of 65.7%, which was 1 percentage point higher than Morgan Stanley's forecast. Despite increased marketing expenses, these were offset by a reduction in general administrative expenses, leading to a net profit that was 3% above expectations and an improvement in profit margin by 1 percentage point year-over-year.
