A class action lawsuit has been filed against Trip.com Group Limited (NASDAQ: TCOM) alleging the company failed to disclose material information about an antitrust probe by Chinese regulators. The lawsuit covers investors who purchased Trip.com securities between April 30, 2024 and January 13, 2026. ClaimsFiler, a shareholder information service, is reminding affected investors to file lead plaintiff applications by the May 11, 2026 deadline.
Why it matters
