# iQIYI Inc. (IQ) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-11-04. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Communication Services / Entertainment. Price $0.88, market value $849 million.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). iQIYI Inc. reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **Price / sales: 0.0×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.0×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 0.4×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **EV / EBITDA: 1.1×**. Enterprise value is 1.1× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 21.3%**. Free cash flow equals 21.3% of the market value. Above 5% is generally attractive.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 17.9%**. iQIYI Inc. keeps 17.9% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: -1.5%**. Operating margin is negative: the business loses money before interest and tax.
- **Net margin: -0.8%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -1.6%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: -28.8%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -28.8%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: -12.5%**. Each dollar of assets produces -12.5% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -2.5%** (3-yr -2.5%/yr, 5-yr -3.0%/yr). Revenue fell 2.5% over the last year, against -3.0% a year compounded over five years: growth is accelerating.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.06**. Debt is 0.06 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: net cash**. iQIYI Inc. holds more cash than debt.
- **Interest coverage: -0.5×**. Operating profit covers interest only -0.5×: fragile.
- **Current ratio: 0.47** (quick 0.47). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
- **Altman Z-score: 0.80**. A Z-score of 0.80 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
- **Piotroski F-score: 3/9**. 3 of 9 checks pass: weak or deteriorating financials.
