On the news front, Tongcheng Travel's full cash offer to acquire Dida Chuxing for approximately HK$1.424 billion has received endorsements from multiple international investment banks. Morgan Stanley assigned an Overweight rating with a target price of HK$27; Jefferies issued a Buy rating with a target of HK$20.3; CICC maintained an Outperform rating with a target of HK$22.

While the stock initially came under pressure following the announcement, market recognition of the transaction's strategic value is gradually recovering.
