The Beijing-based company filed with an offering size of $1.5 billion. iQiyi is aiming for a public market valuation of as much as $10 billion, people familiar with the matter said.

Here are iQiyi’s user numbers and revenue numbers from the filing.

The company is hugely dependent on high-quality original content on its video streaming service. For example, iQiyi bought the exclusive rights to stream Korean drama Descendants of the Sun in China in 2016, which later brought more than 1 billion views to iQiyi. In April, it became the only Chinese service that licenses content from Netflix.

Baidu owns 70% of iQiyi’s shares and iQiyi has been seeking an independent listing. In the filing iQiyi also mentioned that it signed the main business cooperation agreement with Baidu on January 19, 2018 in the areas of artificial intelligence technologies, smart devices / DuerOS, cloud computing services, online advertising, internet traffic, data, and content.

iQiyi officially launched on April 22, 2010 with its video streaming service. On November 3, 2012, Baidu acquired the shares held by Providence Equity Partners LLC, the second-largest shareholder of the iQiyi, to become its single largest shareholder. The company plans to offer Class A shares to the public, while Baidu will hold all of the company’s Class B shares, the filing shows.
