Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP announced on March 28 that a securities fraud class action lawsuit has been filed against Trip.com Group Limited. The suit is on behalf of investors who purchased or acquired Trip.com securities between April 30, 2024, and January 13, 2026. The case is pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York under De Wilde v. Trip.com Group Limited, et al., Case No. 1:26-cv-01420 (E.D.N.Y.). Investors have until May 11, 2026 to seek lead plaintiff status.
The matter is significant as it alleges that Trip.com made materially false or misleading statements and failed to disclose important adverse facts about its business and operations during the stated period. According to the complaint summary provided by Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP, “Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Trip.com recklessly understated the regulatory risk facing the company as a result of its monopolistic business activities; and (2) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.”
On January 14, 2026, Bloomberg published an article reporting that Chinese authorities are investigating Trip.com over alleged antitrust conduct. The State Administration for Market Regulation accused the company of abusing its market position and engaging in monopolistic practices. It was also revealed that in September 2025 regulators had summoned Trip.com for violations related to unfair restrictions on merchants’ transactions and prices. Following this news, shares of Trip.com fell by $12.90 per share—about a seventeen percent drop—to close at $62.78.
