Description: ATHM Autohome November 09, 2025
Autohome Inc. (NYSE: ATHM) is China’s leading online destination for automobile shoppers, operating three high-traffic properties-autohome.com.cn, che168.com and ttpai.cn-across desktop, mobile web, apps and mini-programs. The platform monetizes through a mix of automotive advertising, dealer subscription services, used-car listings, an e-commerce “Autohome Mall,” and transaction-related commissions on financing and insurance.
Key operating metrics underscore its market position: FY 2023 revenue reached roughly RMB 6.9 billion, up about 20 % year-over-year, driven by a 15 % rise in digital automotive advertising spend in China. The network logged over 150 million monthly active users, with an average session length exceeding 12 minutes-metrics that translate into a strong dealer-lead generation pipeline. Macro-level, China’s auto market sold ~25 million units in 2023, with electric-vehicle (EV) registrations accounting for ~30 % of new sales, a trend that intensifies online research and financing demand-core revenue levers for Autohome.
