    iQIYI (IQ) is back in focus after being removed from the FTSE All-World Index, even as the company showcases an AI-heavy content push and a fresh title slate for 2026 and 2027.

    Recent price action has been choppy for iQIYI, with a 10.87% 1 month share price gain and a modest 7 day rise of 0.99%. However, a sharp year to date share price decline of 49.75% and a 1 year total shareholder return fall of 61.22% signal that longer term momentum is still weak.

    Scan beyond iQIYI's swings and take a closer look at other media and AI-driven platforms that screen for quality and valuation using our curated list of 32 high quality undervalued stocks.

    iQIYI now trades at a steep discount to both intrinsic value estimates and analyst targets after its index exit and AI push. Is this caution well earned, or has the pendulum swung too far on valuation?

    Most Popular Narrative: 34% Undervalued

    Against a last close of $1.02, the most followed narrative pegs iQIYI’s fair value at $1.54, framing today’s steep discount around AI driven efficiency gains and new business lines rather than index flows alone.

    Initiatives in IP-based consumer products and offline "experience" businesses (theme parks and immersive centers) are opening new, scalable revenue streams beyond core streaming, enhancing overall monetization and potentially improving net margins as these asset-light strategies mature.

    See why 15 investors see iQIYI as 34% undervalued.

    Result: Fair Value of $1.54 (UNDERVALUED)

    Still, iQIYI faces clear pressure from falling membership and advertising income, along with content costs that could keep profitability and any AI payoff under strain.
