Trip.com Investors Urged to Seek Lead Role in Securities Suit Before May 11 Deadline

Overview

• Several law firms, which issued notices Wednesday and Thursday, invited Trip.com shareholders to seek lead‑plaintiff status by May 11 in De Wilde v. Trip.com in the Eastern District of New York.
• The complaint says Trip.com and certain executives made false or misleading statements by understating regulatory risk tied to alleged monopolistic practices during April 30, 2024 through January 13, 2026.
• Media reports on January 14, 2026 said Chinese regulators opened an antitrust probe into Trip.com, and the company’s American Depositary Shares fell by roughly 17% to 19% following that news.
• No class has been certified, and under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act a court will pick a lead plaintiff who typically has the largest claimed loss and will direct the case.
• Robbins Geller, Rosen Law Firm, Faruqi & Faruqi, and The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz issued competing calls to investors, which is common early in these cases as firms vie for leadership.
