NEGATIVE IMPACT
Trip.com Group reported strong Q3 FY23 earnings with significant Y/Y revenue growth and recovery in travel demand. However, shares fell 3.27% premarket.
The negative premarket price action suggests that despite the strong earnings report, investors may have had even higher expectations or there could be external market factors influencing the stock price. The short-term impact is likely negative due to the premarket drop, but the strong fundamentals could provide support in the longer term.
