Thursday, May 9, 9:19 AM Ctrip (CTRP) +16.6% following its Q1 beat. The Chinese travel bookings site is guiding for 15%-20% Y/Y Q2 revenue growth, below a 20.6% consensus. But expectations have been depressed by concerns about price competition, and the Street might view guidance as conservative following a string of beats. Q1 gross margin was 74%, flat Q/Q and down 100 bps Y/Y. Hotel bookings revenue +23% Y/Y, plane tickets +27%, packaged tours +41%, corporate travel +31% - all 4 growth rates were faster than Q4's. eLong (LONG) could rally in sympathy.

Monday, April 15, 2:48 PM Baidu (BIDU -1.2%) has reportedly taken part in a $57M funding round for its Qunar Chinese online travel unit. Baidu bought a majority stake in Qunar for $306M in 2011. Since then, the business has taken off, with Qunar (according to Baidu, at least) having recently passed Ctrip (CTRP) as China's top airfare bookings site, though it has recently had to contend with a boycott from partners upset about pricing/policy changes. Qunar, believed to be plotting a much-delayed IPO, also competes with Alibaba and eLong (LONG); the latter is backed by Tencent. 1 Comment [Tech]
