mid-single digits in 2026 (as double-digit growth may be challenging). According to

company data, the electronic travel distribution (ETD) volume of foreign and regional Xin Chen

(down 50%-plus YoY) amid geopolitical tension, weighing on overall international

demand. Meanwhile, Middle Eastern airspace restrictions and persistently high airfares Beini Du

Analyst

Given slower traffic growth and ongoing yield pressure across domestic and yuhua.li@ubs.com

international routes (which we estimate contribute roughly 80% and 20% of AIT +852-2971 6491

revenue, respectively), we expect TravelSky's AIT segment to face a more challenging

operating environment. Thus, we cut our 2026-28E earnings 10-24%. We also cut our

DCF-based price target from HK$12.40 to HK$9.30. Our price target implies 10x 12-

month-forward PE, below its 2023-25 average of 16x, reflecting slower EPS growth.
