Tongcheng Travel's Margins Could Continue to Expand -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
Nov 26, 2025

0250 GMT - Tongcheng Travel's margin expansion is poised to continue, say DBS Group Research analysts in a note. The Chinese online travel agency posted solid 3Q results, the analysts say, based on the company's statement that its hotel average daily rate outperformed the industry. The analysts expect Tongcheng's higher mix in the mass-market hotel segment to drive higher-than-industry revenue growth. Margins could continue to improve as the company enhances its operational efficiency through integrating generative artificial intelligence into its customer service and incorporating an AI tool into internal workflows, they add. Profit gains in its new businesses such as outbound travel and hotel management could also support margins. DBS maintains its buy rating on the stock and keeps its target price at HK$26.50. Shares fall 0.7% to HK$21.46. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
