iQIYI (IQ) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
iQIYI's positive outlook is supported by a notable recovery in consumer sentiment, evidenced by a significant year-over-year increase in domestic box office growth, which is expected to translate into improved user engagement and subscription stabilization. The company's strategic initiatives, including the enhancement of premium content, optimized membership offerings, and diversification through mini-dramas, aim to capture a broader audience and boost advertising revenue. Management's optimism regarding a robust content pipeline and effective monetization strategies for FY25 further strengthens the prospects for sustainable earnings growth and free cash flow generation.
Bears say
iQIYI's revenue forecast for 4Q24 has been moderately reduced to RMB6.6 billion, reflecting a significant decline in subscription revenues and content distribution, indicating challenges in maintaining a competitive edge against industry rivals. The company's projected revenue for 1Q25 also suggests a downward trend, coming in at RMB7.1 billion, which is slightly below consensus estimates and indicative of persistent revenue pressures. Moreover, key financial metrics show declines across various segments, with membership services down 15% year-over-year and advertising revenue falling by 13%, suggesting an ongoing struggle to attract and retain users amidst a highly competitive market.
