Jefferies reaffirmed its Buy rating and $77 price target on Trip.com Group (NASDAQ:TCOM), expressing confidence in the company’s ability to deliver on expectations for the current quarter and beyond.
Jefferies sees robust domestic demand driving growth in hotel bookings and air ticketing, with volume expansion as the primary catalyst. Outbound travel trends also continue to gain momentum, as more travelers extend their range, boosting international activity on the platform.
Trip.com is also expected to benefit from its accelerated adoption of artificial intelligence, which is enhancing both user experience and operational efficiency. Jefferies believes the integration of AI tools will play a key role in driving cost savings and increasing engagement.
