Haitong International has released a research report on China's State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR)'s investigation into TRIP.COM-S (09961.HK) for monopolistic behavior.

Referring to previous penalties imposed on BABA-W (09988.HK) and MEITUAN-W (03690.HK) by relevant authorities, TRIP.COM-S, in the worst-case scenario, may face a fine equivalent to 4% of its domestic sales revenue in 2024, with the maximum fine potentially reaching around RMB1.5 billion. Haitong International believes this could lead to a 2 ppt decline in its net profit margin for FY26.
