Description: IQ iQIYI November 11, 2025

iQIYI, Inc. (NASDAQ:IQ) is a Beijing-based subsidiary of Baidu that operates a subscription-based streaming platform in China. Its content library blends licensed professional productions with self-produced series, and the ecosystem also includes online gaming, digital literature, comics, talent-agency services, and IP licensing. Revenue streams are diversified across membership fees, programmatic and direct advertising, and content distribution deals.

As of Q3 2024, iQIYI reported approximately 115 million paid subscribers, a modest increase of 3 % YoY, while average revenue per user (ARPU) fell to ¥48 ($7) amid heightened competition from Tencent Video and Youku. The company’s total revenue grew 5 % YoY to ¥27.3 billion, driven largely by a 12 % rise in advertising spend, but margins remain pressured by ongoing content-production costs and stricter Chinese regulatory caps on online video. A key sector driver is the Chinese government’s push for “cultural self-reliance,” which could both limit foreign content imports and increase demand for domestically produced IP.

For a deeper quantitative assessment of iQIYI’s valuation dynamics, you may find ValueRay’s data-driven analytics platform a useful next step.
