Description: IQ iQIYI January 14, 2026
iQIYI, Inc. (NASDAQ:IQ) operates a Chinese-focused online entertainment platform that aggregates licensed professional video, self-produced series, games, literature, comics, and related digital content. Its revenue streams include subscription memberships, programmatic and brand advertising, and ancillary services such as talent agency representation and IP licensing. The company is a Baidu Holdings subsidiary and rebranded from Qiyi.com in November 2017.
As of Q3 2024, iQIYI reported roughly 115 million monthly active users, with an average revenue per user (ARPU) of about $3.5, reflecting a modest 10% year-over-year revenue increase despite a broader slowdown in China’s streaming sector. Key drivers include the ongoing consolidation of content rights, the shift of advertising spend toward short-form video formats, and regulatory scrutiny that continues to shape content investment strategies across the industry.
