#6 - Ctrip.com (NASDAQ:CTRP)
Ctrip.com (NASDAQ: CTRP) - Another Chinese company that is absolutely crushing it in 2019 is the online travel agent Ctrip.com. The company’s stock is up 53% in 2019. In fact, after many companies entered the online travel space, CTRP appears to be the sole survivor. Top line revenue was expected to grow 16.1% last year and, despite the ongoing trade war, is expected to grow 18% this year. In March, the company reported fourth-quarter numbers that beat both topline and bottom line estimates. One of the primary drivers for this growth is the desire among Chinese consumers to travel internationally, which may correspond to increasing urbanization inside the country. The number of international trips booked by Chinese residents increased by 15% year over year in the first half of 2018. What’s particularly encouraging is that growth is coming from the 5% of the population that owns a passport, which presents a very real long-term growth opportunity.
