Key Figures
Previous Earnings Reports
| Date | Event | Sentiment | 24h Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mar 05 | Q4/FY 2025 earnings | Positive | +8.9% | Q4 and full-year 2025 revenue growth and return to net income with shareholder return plan. |
| Dec 05 | Q3 2025 earnings | Negative | -3.2% | Q3 2025 revenue growth but sharply higher costs and lower gross profit despite profitability. |
| Aug 15 | Q2 2025 earnings | Positive | -1.2% | Strong Q2 2025 revenue and packaged-tour growth with net income recovery and new buyback. |
| Jun 12 | Q1 2025 earnings | Negative | -4.9% | Q1 2025 revenue growth but swing to net loss on sharply higher costs and expenses. |

24h Move is the share-price change in the day after each event; other market factors may also have contributed.
Earnings have produced mixed reactions: strong reports sometimes sold off, while weaker quarters often saw declines that aligned with fundamentals.
Over the past five earnings releases, Tuniu reported steady revenue growth but uneven profitability. Q3 2024 delivered the highest quarterly profit since listing, yet the stock fell 10.62%. Subsequent quarters showed revenue gains but margin pressure, with Q1 2025 swinging to a net loss and the stock dropping 4.92%. Later 2025–2026 updates highlighted returns to profitability, cash balances near RMB1.1 billion, and a multi-year shareholder return plan. Today’s Q1 2026 results continue the theme of revenue growth and non-GAAP profitability against a still-depressed share price.
