Movement Alert|Tongcheng Travel Falls 5.15% in Regular Trading, Sector Weakness Combined with Core Shareholder Sustained Selling

Market Focus07-09

On July 9, Tongcheng Travel fell 5.15% in regular trading, trading at HK$12.39 per share, with turnover of HK$103 million. The decline was driven by a combination of broad sector weakness, persistent shareholder selling, and lingering concerns over the company's recent acquisition.

On the news front, Ctrip executive chairman Liang Jianzhang completed his seventh stake reduction this year, with remaining holdings at just 0.07%. Southbound capital recorded net selling on 17 out of the past 20 trading days, cumulatively offloading over 31.65 million shares, sustaining market selling pressure. Meanwhile, the Hotels, Resorts and Cruise Lines sector weakened broadly, with Hworld Group down 4.62%, Trip.com down 1.7%, and Travelsky Technology down 2.26%.

Additionally, the market remains divided on the synergistic value of Tongcheng's HK$1.424 billion acquisition of Dida Inc. Citi previously expressed explicit doubt over the magnitude of positive effects from the transaction, constraining near-term valuation recovery.
