Positive Earnings Surprises
iQIYI, Inc. has demonstrated a consistent trend of beating analyst EPS estimates in recent quarters. For example, in Q4 2024, reported EPS of $0.24 significantly exceeded the estimate of $0.10, a surprise of 144.9%. This suggests strong operational execution and better-than-anticipated profitability.
Attractive Price-to-Sales (P/S) Ratio
The TTM Price-to-Sales ratio is 0.1, which is very low. This could indicate that the stock is undervalued relative to its revenue generation, especially when compared to its historical P/S ratios (e.g., 0.1 in 2021).
High Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio
The trailing Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio is 51.0, which is considerably high. While TTM P/E is 8.8, this seems to be an anomaly given the quarterly data. The high P/E ratio suggests the stock might be overvalued relative to its current earnings, especially considering the volatile EPS history.
Inconsistent Revenue and Profitability
Revenue has fluctuated, with a decrease from $31.87 billion in 2023 to $29.23 billion in 2024. Net income also saw a significant drop from $1.93 billion in 2023 to $0.76 billion in 2024, indicating potential challenges in sustained growth and profitability.
