Ctrip.com International, Ltd. Price and EPS Surprise
The company’s continued efforts toward enhancement of its key offerings to cater to the changing travel patterns of the people are major positives. Further, Ctrip’s customer friendly offers and omnichannel strategy will continue to drive the user engagement on its platform.
The air and hotel protection program of Ctrip and its policy of full refund in case of any discrepancy regarding Visa application are likely to continue expanding the customer base.
Further, its well performing accommodation unit is anticipated to drive the top line in the to-be-reported quarter. The company’s growing presence in the low-star hotel market along with its strong hold in the mid to high-end star hotel market along with its intelligent hotel booking system are likely to boost the accommodation revenues in the third quarter.
Additionally, Ctrip continues to expand presence in the international market with its strong performing international air and hotel businesses, Moreover, direct booking program of Skyscanner which is gaining traction remains positive for the company’s international presence.
Furthermore, the company strengthening momentum among the corporate travelers remains a significant growth factor.
All these factors are anticipated to drive the results in the to-be-reported quarter.
However, softening trend in the air traffic remains a headwind for the company.
What Our Model Says
According to the Zacks model, a company with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) has good chance of beating estimates if it also has a positive Earnings ESP. The Sell-rated stocks (Zacks Rank #4 or 5) are best avoided. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Ctrip has a Zacks Rank #3 but an Earnings ESP of 0.00%, which makes surprise prediction difficult.
Stocks That Warrant a Look
Here are few stocks worth considering as our model shows that it has the right combination of elements to deliver an earnings beat in the upcoming releases.
Adobe Systems (ADBE - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of +0.19% and Zacks Rank #2.
Five9 (FIVN - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of +5.88% and a Zacks Rank #3
Today's Stocks from Zacks' Hottest Strategies
It's hard to believe, even for us at Zacks. But while the market gained +21.9% in 2017, our top stock-picking screens have returned +115.0%, +109.3%, +104.9%, +98.6%, and +67.1%.
And this outperformance has not just been a recent phenomenon. Over the years it has been remarkably consistent. From 2000 - 2017, the composite yearly average gain for these strategies has beaten the market more than 19X over. Maybe even more remarkable is the fact that we're willing to share their latest stocks with you without cost or obligation.
