Trip.com Investors Face Lead-Plaintiff Deadline in U.S. Securities Case Over AI Pricing Tool

The choice of lead plaintiff will set the litigation strategy and pick the law firm for the investor class.

Overview

Rosen Law Firm said it first filed the lawsuit and urged investors to seek the lead-plaintiff role before the deadline draws near.
The case seeks to represent buyers of Trip.com securities from April 30, 2024 through January 13, 2026.
The complaint alleges Trip.com downplayed antitrust risk tied to an AI hotel pricing tool that cut listed rates and pressured partners to comply.
That risk came into focus after the company disclosed a SAMR anti-monopoly probe and the stock fell about 17% in a single day, erasing billions in value.
No class is certified and the claims are unproven, though fallout has included co-founders leaving the board and reports of a plan to shut the pricing tool.
