iQIYI: Focus On Q3 Preview And New Regulations
I continue to rate iQIYI as a "Hold," following my assessment of its upcoming quarterly results and mid-term prospects. IQ is expected to report flat QoQ revenue growth and a net loss for 3Q25, pressured by stiffer competition and higher content spending. China's recent policy changes may ease regulatory constraints, potentially benefiting IQ's long-form video business over the intermediate term.
iQIYI: Seriously Discounted Streaming Play
iQIYI reported a double-digit Q2 revenue decline on Wednesday amid a challenging domestic market, but the platform beat EPS expectations. International expansion, especially in Spanish-speaking markets, drove 80% year-over-year overseas membership revenue growth, offsetting weaker domestic performance. Management's strategic pivot to micro dramas and global markets aims to reignite top-line growth and restore profitability.

iQIYI's recent blockbusters and mini-dramas investments are expected to boost subscriber growth and revenue in 2025, enhancing free cash flow.

Despite recent revenue declines, iQIYI's new family account option and short dramas could drive future net income and free cash flow growth.

Here's Why You Should Be Cautious With iQIYI Stock Heading Into 2025

iQIYI: Deeply Undervalued Gem With A Perceived Tailwind In C-Drama
IQ's collaboration with BIDU is technologically, strategically and financially beneficial. The company can potentially benefit from a perceived rising tailwind in consumption of C-drama. IQ's unique strength in long-form video contents suggest it does not directly compete with short-form video providers in the long run.
iQIYI Q3: Nothing Impressive, But Short-Form Content Looks Promising
I am downgrading iQIYI Inc. stock to a hold rating due to mixed Q3 results and the need for progress in attracting short-attention span viewers. Q3 revenues fell 10% y/y to $1B, missing estimates by $20m, while non-GAAP EPADS beat estimates by 2 cents at $0.07. The company's financial position is risky with $595m in cash and $1.2B in long-term debt, and operational performance is subpar.
