HONG KONG, Jan 15 (Reuters) - Hong Kong-listed shares of Trip.com 9961.HK, China's online travel agency, tumbled in early trading on Thursday after regulators opened an antitrust investigation.

The company is suspected of abusing its dominant market position, the State Administration for Market Regulation said in a statement on Wednesday, without elaborating on the allegations. The investigation is based on preliminary reviews and the anti-monopoly law, it said.

Shares of the company slid as much as 21.7% to HK$446, the lowest since June 2025, before narrowing the loss to around 17%.
