Why Trip.com Group Stock Hit A New 52-Week High Today

Trip.com Group Ltd TCOM shares are trading higher by 4.4% to $42.66 during Thursday's session. The stock is trading higher amid strength in several Chinese stocks Alibaba Group Holding after the company reported better-than-expected first-quarter financial results.

While Alibaba primarily operates in e-commerce, both companies are within the broader technology and digital marketplace realm. Strong results from Alibaba could suggest increased consumer spending and higher demand for online services, which could positively impact Trip.com Group.
