Earnings Review · 04 November 2026
The print
Revenue $7.35B vs $4.50 expected.
What changed versus going in
Revenue of $7.35B compares with $9.50B expected, 22.6% below consensus.
Did the flow confirm the move?
Underlying money flow reads as distribution (21-day Chaikin Money Flow -0.13, five-day price change -4.9%, as of 2026-10-30, desk flow model).
Give the business its due
The business itself is genuinely strong: revenue growing about 8%, net margins near 26%.
Levels that matter
At $153.75 the shares sit 30% below the 52-week high of $220.81 and 5% above the low of $146.28 (10% of the way up the range). The 50-day average is $177.23, above the price. The 200-day average is $184.09, above the price.
The valuation lens
Our fair-value work puts the shares about 65% below what the business is worth: value on offer. Fair value lands near $254 against a $153.75 share price, a margin of safety of about 65%. The trailing multiple sits around 17 times earnings, which only makes sense if the growth holds.
The ethical lens, our differentiator
Fails the principled screen, Debt ratio. A strong business is not the same as a suitable one; for a values-conscious book this is a do-not-chase regardless of the print.
The compliant alternative
If the theme is what draws you, Trip.com Group Limited (9961.HK) sits in the same industry (Travel Services) and clears our principled screen, the place to look instead of chasing a name that does not.
The verdict for a values-conscious investor
A beat-and-raise does not change the screen. This is a great company you can admire without owning, protection first. One quarter, strong or soft, does not decide whether a holding is suitable.
