NYSE: ATHM
Autohome Inc. (NYSE: ATHM; HKEX: 2518) operates an online platform for automobile consumers in China. It provides occupationally, professionally, user- and AI-generated content, a comprehensive automobile library and extensive vehicle listings covering the full car purchase and ownership cycle.
It earns revenue from three lines:
- **Media services:** advertising for automakers.
- **Leads generation services:** dealer subscriptions and advertising that help dealers market inventory and generate sales leads.
- **Online marketplace and others:** data analysis and marketing services, vehicle sales and value-added services such as auto financing, auto insurance, used-car transactions and aftermarket services.
