Jefferies raised its Autohome price target from USD 26.30 to USD 26.50 on October 14, 2026, while keeping a Buy rating, according to Investing.com. The revised target is 30.80 percent above the USD 20.26 Nasdaq price on October 19, 2026. Autohome stock was trading at EUR 17.90 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026 at 9:00 p.m. CEST.
Execution remains central
Jefferies linked its revised target to expected execution in Autohome's online marketplace and new retail operations. The firm also pointed to more than 100 new retail stores by the end of the third quarter and expected cost control, while noting softer media and lead-generation revenue in a weak industry backdrop, according to Investing.com.
Second-quarter revenue reached USD 1.20 billion
Autohome's second-quarter 2026 revenue was USD 1.20 billion, slightly above the USD 1.18 billion estimate, while adjusted earnings were USD 2.46 per American depositary share against a USD 2.04 forecast, Investing.com reported on October 14, 2026. The same report described weaker year-over-year performance and challenging Chinese auto-market conditions.
Results date is November 4
Autohome announced on October 14, 2026 that it will report third-quarter 2026 results for the period ended September 30, 2026, before the US market opens on November 4, 2026, according to the company's investor-relations page. The company operates online automotive content, lead-generation and marketplace services in China.
Valuation and market position
MarketBeat listed Autohome at a P/E ratio of 17.31 and a market capitalization of USD 2.31 billion on October 15, 2026, with a 52-week range of USD 15.57 to USD 28.12, according to MarketBeat. That range places the October 19 Nasdaq price of USD 20.26 below the midpoint of the year's trading band.
Stock position after hours
