The latest update is out from Iqiyi ( (IQ) ).
On February 26, 2026, iQIYI reported unaudited results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025, showing modest Q4 revenue growth but significantly weaker profitability compared with 2024. Fourth-quarter revenue rose 3% year on year to RMB6.79 billion as flat membership revenue and softer advertising were offset by a 94% surge in content distribution income, while higher content and marketing costs compressed the operating margin to 1% and trimmed non-GAAP operating income.
For 2025 as a whole, revenue fell 7% to RMB27.29 billion and operating income dropped sharply, with the company swinging from a RMB764.1 million profit in 2024 to a RMB206.3 million net loss, though non-GAAP figures remained positive. Management said an IP-centric content strategy is bolstering user engagement and highlighted strong momentum in overseas operations and the opening of its first iQIYI Land as emerging growth drivers, positioning these new businesses and AI-enabled content initiatives as key to long-term value creation despite near-term margin pressure.
The most recent analyst rating on (IQ) stock is a Buy with a $2.75 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Iqiyi stock, see the IQ Stock Forecast page.
