Near term, we expect 2Q19 revenue to [email protected] grow 4% QoQ helped by Android flagship ramp-up and a stable outlook from Apple (per Apple 3QFY19 guidance). We expect GPM to remain soft in 2Q19. Upgrade to Neutral. We believe further deterioration in margins is unlikely but see the escalating trade conflict as a downside risk to end demand.

Baidu saw accelerated traffic but was affected by healthcare ad adjustment and increased ad inventory. AI progress: DuerOS voice assistant installations reached 275m. Apollo saw enlarged adoption in various scenarios. Leveraging AI capability, Baidu cloud revenue grew rapidly to RMB1.3bn. We estimate 2019E cloud revenue to be RMB6.3bn, contributing 6% of total revenue. We expect short-term pressure for search and feed due to adjustment of healthcare interface, macro uncertainty, industry regulation, and increase of ad inventory in the feed industry. The resignation of Hailong Xiang will bring further uncertainty to the search business. As we are cautious on the ad industry, we cut Baidu Core revenue by 12%/15% in 2019E/20E on lower search revenue, partially offset by increase in cloud services. Given growing TAC, we cut 2019E/20E EPS and lower TP from US$232 to US$165. Downgrade to Neutral. iQIYI Inc IQ US 1Q19 bottom line beat; content cost below Rating: Buy estimate on delayed pipeline CP: US$ 20.38 TP: US$ 30.10↓ Upside: +47.7% Gigi Zhou [email protected] 1Q19 results: (1) Membership revenue was RMB3.4bn, up 64% YoY and in line. Subscribers reached 96.8m, primarily driven by The Legend of Haolan and Golden Eyes. (2) Ad revenue was RMB2.1bn, flat YoY and in line. (3) Other revenue came in at RMB983m, up 143% YoY and beating estimates on games. (4) Content cost at RMB5.3bn beat our estimated RMB6bn, partially due to delayed pipeline. 2Q19 outlook: We estimate revenue at RMB7.2bn, up 17% YoY (guidance: 12- 18%); membership revenue at RMB3.7bn; subscriber net adds at 4m; ad revenue at RMB2.2bn, up 3% QoQ/ down 16% YoY; content distribution/other revenue at RMB315m/968m, down 42%/up 80% YoY; content cost as percentage of revenue at 77%. Valuation: We cut 2019E/20E revenue by 1%/2% and narrow 2019E non-GAAP net loss margin by 1ppt. We trim TP from US$30.40 to US$30.10, implying 2019/20E P/S of 4.7x/3.9x. Maintain Buy. Download our reports from Bloomberg: BOCM or https://research.bocomgroup.com 2 20 May 2019 Morning Express Internet Sector Online video monthly monitor (April 2019) Rating: Outperform Connie Gu, CPA [email protected] In April, iQiyi’s MAU continued to lead. Given weak viewership seasonality in 2Q19, Tencent Video’s MAU stayed flattish while other platforms’ MAUs fell slightly in April. Tencent Video led in downloads and gross billing rankings thanks to “Game of Thrones” Season 8. Tencent Video enjoyed higher content popularity last month: (1) For new exclusive dramas, popularity shares of Tencent Video/iQiyi/Mango TV/Youku were 45%/20%/9%/8%, and “Game of Thrones Season 8” on Tencent Video was ranked first. (2) For self-produced variety shows, Tencent Video/iQiyi achieved popularity shares of 57%/43%. iQiyi’s original variety show “I am Singer/Song-Writer” acquired fewer brand advertisers than “Idol producer II” in 1Q19 due to premature brand effect. We estimate the ad revenue of iQiyi may come under pressure in 2Q19. iQiyi’s original drama “The Thunder” has been a big hit in May. Maintain Outperform sector rating and top Buy on iQiyi (IQ US). Internet Sector Weekly As of 17 May 2019 Rating: Outperform Connie Gu, CPA [email protected] Last week, we initiated coverage on Meituan Dianping with a Buy rating. We expect the company to turn around to profitability in 2020. Alibaba’s 4QFY19 earnings beat on cost control; we expect FY20 revenue to grow 33%. Tencent’s ad revenue missed in 1Q19; we expect its game business to recover in 2Q19. NetEase’s 1Q19 earnings beat on lower marketing cost, while game business remains uncertain in 2019. Baidu’s 1Q19 results missed; we expect continuous pressure on ad growth in 2019. iQIYI’s 1Q19 bottom line beat as content cost was below estimate due to delayed pipeline. Kingsoft’s cloud business beat in 1Q19 in terms of revenue and margin; we upgraded the stock to Buy. April video data watch: In terms of new online dramas and online variety shows, Tencent Video/iQIYI had popularity shares of 45%/20% and 57%/43%, respectively.

    Advances in Economics, Business and Management Research, volume 68 International Symposium on Social Science and Management Innovation (SSMI 2018) The Influences of Idol Effect on the Purchasing Decisions of Their Fans Lvyin Zhuang School of Economics and Management, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430000, China [email protected] Abstract. Thanks to the structural transformation of consumption stimulated by the domestic economic development and the high-speed growth of culture industries, the “idol industry”, as a branch of the culture industry, has been confronted with great development opportunities in recent years, along with the gradual spread of fans consumer market. This era has witnessed the continuous update and progress of internet technology and social network service, such as the development of Sina Weibo. As China’s most influential open platform in this new-media time, it not only makes fans get closer to their idols, but provides a convenient and diversified interactive portal for fans group activities, turning itself into a significant base for the development of idol industry. Besides, the domestic entertainment industry has been gradually mature these years by drawing from extensive star-training experience of Japan and South Korea, and the pattern of platform contributing to content also accelerates the growth of the idol industry. “Idol Producer” and “Producer 101”, two famous talent shows respectively launched by iQIYI and Tencent in 2018, have both achieved great success. They continuously created a series of amazing sales records even after the last show, which represents the great potential consumer power of fans.
