Company Report

Tongcheng Could See Near-Term Weakness as China Travel Demand Is Likely Decelerating

We expect Tongcheng Travel’s revenue to return to growth as China relaxes its reopening policies, which should allow its citizens to travel with fewer restrictions. We expect near-term revenue to increase modestly, driven by recovery of the travel industry. Assuming no return of lockdown headwinds in China, we expect Tongcheng’s revenue to increase 10%-15% per year in the near to midterm.

Tongcheng has very low penetration of Tier 3 cities and has less than 30% saturation rate in its target market.

Bears

Reopening may not be as smooth as expected, leading to a prolonged slump in travel.
