0215 GMT - Tongcheng Travel's outlook remains positive after the Chinese travel company posted better-than-expected 2Q results, DBS Group Research analysts say in a report. They expect the company's core online travel agency revenue to grow 21% on year in 2024, due to more travel spending from lower-tier cities. DBS notes that the company's management has mentioned that there will be a 1ppt-2ppt drag in 2024 adjusted net profit due to its international business expansion. "However, they expect the business to break even in adjusted net profit in [2025] and provide incremental earnings going forward," DBS says. The bank has a buy rating and target price of HK$23.00 on the stock, which is 1.2% higher at HK$13.54.(amanda.lee@wsj.com)
