Description: SOHU Sohu.Com October 25, 2025

Sohu.com Limited (NASDAQ: SOHU) is a Beijing-based Chinese internet company that runs an online media platform and a gaming business. It segments operations into the “Sohu” media arm-delivering news, video, livestream and advertising via its Sohu News App, Sohu Video App, mobile portal (m.sohu.com) and PC site (www.sohu.com)-and “Changyou,” which develops and publishes PC and mobile games, including titles hosted on the 17173.com gaming portal.

Recent metrics show the company generated ≈ ¥3.1 billion in total revenue for Q3 2023, with digital advertising contributing roughly 70 % and gaming about 25 % of that mix. User engagement remains tied to macro-level drivers such as China’s digital ad spend, which the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) estimates will grow ~8 % YoY in 2024, and regulatory stability affecting content and gaming approvals. Sohu’s mobile MAU (monthly active users) has held steady near 150 million, while its flagship game “Legend of the Sword” posted a 12 % YoY increase in in-game purchases, indicating modest resilience in the competitive gaming segment.
