Trip.com Group Limited, the leading online travel company in China, saw its stock (09961) soar by 5.19% on Tuesday, driven by the company's impressive third-quarter financial results and a continued recovery in travel demand.

According to the company's Q3 earnings report, Trip.com Group reported a net income of 6.77 billion yuan ($952 million), up 46.5% from the same period last year. The strong profit growth was fueled by a 16% year-over-year increase in net revenue to 15.87 billion yuan ($2.23 billion), primarily attributed to "stronger travel demand" as stated by the company.

The robust financial performance reflects the ongoing recovery in the travel industry, particularly in China, as consumer confidence and spending on travel services rebound following the easing of COVID-19 restrictions. Trip.com Group's diversified offerings, including accommodation reservations, transportation ticketing, and packaged tours, have positioned it well to capitalize on this resurgence in travel demand.
