Let us look at how things might have shaped in the quarter to be reported.

Factors to Note Ahead of TCOM’s Q1 Results

Trip.com Group’s revenues in the first quarter of 2025 are expected to have increased year over year, driven by strong travel demand, supported by higher traffic and a rise in total bookings.

Recent Consumer Discretionary Releases

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. NCLH reported first-quarter 2025 results, with earnings and revenues missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Both top and bottom lines decreased on a year-over-year basis.

Results in the quarter were hurt by a 2% decline in Capacity Days, stemming from a higher number of berths out of service due to larger ships undergoing dry-dock, as well as a strategic move to reduce passenger air participation rates. For 2025, Norwegian Cruise anticipates occupancy to be approximately 102.5% compared with the prior guidance of 103.4% and Capacity Days to be about 24.545 million.

MGM Resorts International MGM reported first-quarter 2025 results, with earnings and revenues beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The top and bottom lines declined from the prior-year quarter’s level.

Management remains optimistic about the outlook for the rest of 2025, supported by strong forward bookings and expectations of record hotel performance in April on the Las Vegas Strip. MGM Resorts stated progress on the $200 million EBITDA enhancement plan and expects more than $150 million to be realized in 2025.

Caesars Entertainment, Inc. CZR reported mixed first-quarter 2025 results, with earnings missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate and revenues surpassing the same. Nonetheless, both top and bottom lines improved on a year-over-year basis.

Caesars Entertainment’s first-quarter performance was driven by record results in the Digital segment. Growth in the regional segment, supported by recently opened properties and solid performance in Las Vegas, despite a tough comparison to last year’s Super Bowl period, also aided the quarter’s performance.
