Internet : Ctrip.com (CTRP.US) - "Slowdown into 2009"
Key Points:<br/>◆ 3Q top line is at the low end of company guidance. Hotel booking business saw stagnant volumes and flat commission. The air ticketing business saw a sharp decline in commission per ticket due to ticket price cuts, but volume growth remained pretty strong. Package tours maintained healthy growth. <br/>◆ 4Q could be the worst quarter in growth rate terms. 2009 will still be slow but may pick up a little due to the recovery of commission per ticker due to oil price cuts. <br/>◆ The long term consolidating story is still convincing, and this industry downturn may bring chance to gain more market share.<br/>◆ Our 2008 EPS forecast is US$0.96 and our 2009 forecast is US$1.09. Our target price is US$21.74, representing 20x 2009 forward looking P/E. Maintain HOLD.<br/> [attach]10045[/attach]<br/>页:
