Trip.com Investors Get May Lead‑Plaintiff Deadline in U.S. Securities Suit Over China Antitrust Probe

Plaintiff firms seek investors to steer a case that alleges the company hid risks tied to an AI hotel‑pricing tool.

Overview

Multiple shareholder law firms, including Rosen, Howard G. Smith, Glancy Prongay, and Hagens Berman, are inviting Trip.com investors to seek lead‑plaintiff status before a May deadline.
The cases target buyers of Trip.com securities from April 30, 2024 through January 13, 2026, and no class has been certified at this early stage.
Complaints say Trip.com downplayed regulatory risk from alleged monopolistic conduct and an AI tool that cut hotel prices and reduced partners’ control over rates.
Trip.com disclosed on January 14, 2026 that China’s market regulator had opened an antitrust investigation, and the ADSs fell about 17% that day.
After the period, the company reported board resignations in late February and, according to press reports, planned to halt the hotel pricing tool in March, developments that could influence how investors assess the claims.
