iQIYI the next Netflix? (Seite 4)

[Lumpenluie]

Langfristig bin ich vom Erfolg der Videostreamingdienste in China überzeugt.

Aber eine Plattform mit stagnierenden Userzahlen und hohen Verlusten ist natürlich bedenktlich. Verluste sollten hier nur durch weiteres Wachstum begründet sein, wenn dies aber ausbleibt... gar nicht gut. Zusätzlich scheint die Mutter Baidu sich nicht mit größeren Investoren wie bspw. Tencent einig zu werden.

Ich bin kein Freund davon nach einem mittelprächtigen Quartal zu verkaufen, wenn diese Entwicklung sich jedoch beim nächsten Bericht verfestigt, sehe ich IQIYI eher als "sell".

Ist die gemeldete Class Action gefährlich für iQIYI oder geht's da um eher Belangloses?

Baidu besitzt etwas mehr als die Hälfte von Iqiyi und nun will offensichtlich Tencent einen Anteil von denen übernehmen.
