0454 GMT - Tongcheng Travel is likely to see topline growth accelerate further from 2H, Citi analysts Brian Gong and Alicia Yap say in a research note. New initiatives like the expansion of its app and outbound business are likely to drive the growth, the analysts said. The acceleration may start from 2Q, helped by the travel company's solid performance during the Qingming festival this month. They expect Tongcheng's 1Q topline and earnings to meet consensus views. The analysts keep a buy rating on the stock, and raise the target price to HK$26 from HK$25. Shares are up 0.9% to HK$22.25. (tracy.qu@wsj.com)
