iQIYI (ISIN US46267X1081) was trading at EUR 0.88 at Lang & Schwarz on October 6, 2026 at 2:43 p.m. CEST, down 3.30 percent from the prior close of EUR 0.91. On October 1, PR Newswire reported that iQIYI's The Ferry Man AIGC series had surpassed RMB 8.00 million in cumulative revenue-sharing by September 23, while its third instalment debuted.

AI content reaches a milestone

The first two films recovered their full production costs within one week, according to PR Newswire. That comparison matters because the revenue-sharing figure measures commercial returns from AI-produced content rather than simply counting releases.

iQIYI also presented more than 350 new titles for 2026 to 2027 at its iJOY Conference on September 23, 2026, according to PR Newswire. The scale of that slate gives the AI strategy a content pipeline, but the revenue-sharing result remains the clearest quantified validation in the recent company announcements.

Second-quarter revenue declines

In the second quarter of 2026, revenue fell 5.00 percent year over year to RMB 6.29 billion, while free cash flow reached RMB 319.60 million, Börse Express reported on September 11, 2026. The contrast between lower revenue and positive free cash flow leaves operating efficiency as the central financial test for the streaming platform.

Analyst targets remain above the price

According to MarketBeat on October 4, 2026, six analysts held a consensus Hold view with an average 12-month target of USD 1.73. JPMorgan cut its target from USD 2.20 to USD 1.20 on August 20, 2026, while Goldman Sachs set a USD 1.40 objective, showing a wide gap between the average target and the more cautious individual revisions.

The currency difference matters: those analyst targets are in USD, while the reference quotation here is the EUR price from Lang & Schwarz. No direct percentage distance between the two currencies is therefore used.
