Iqiyi's overall stock score is primarily driven by a positive earnings call highlighting revenue growth and strategic expansion. However, the financial performance reflects challenges in sustaining growth, with notable liabilities and potential future risks in cash generation. The stock's high P/E ratio further suggests overvaluation concerns, while technical indicators show neutral momentum.

iQiyi's Strategic Positioning and Cost Management Support Buy Rating Amid Revenue PressuresWe expect iQiyi 2Q25E total revenue to decrease by 11%/8% 8% below Bloomberg consensus estimate, mainly due to: 1) delay of certain TV dramas; 2) weaker-than-expected performance-based ad business amid soft sentiment; and 3) the decline in content distribution revenue. That said, we expect non-GAAP operating profit of RMB26mn in 2Q25E, which is largely in line with our previous expectation, as the company has maintained prudent control in content costs and opex. iQiyi continues to invest in mini dramas and has achieved early success in certain self-produced mini dramas, but it still takes time for mini dramas to make meaningful revenue contribution, in our view. Overall, we lower FY25-27E total revenue forecast by 1-2% on softer-than-expected membership & ad businesses.
