Buy SOHU now. The chart is in a bullish structure (SMA_5 > SMA_20 > SMA_200) with price holding above the key pivot (16.63), and Wall Street has reiterated Buy ratings with raised targets ($20–$22). Options positioning is extremely call-skewed and implied volatility is relatively low, which supports a near-term upside bias. With the user being impatient/unwilling to wait for an optimal entry, the current 16.9 area is a reasonable buy point; near-term upside levels to watch are 17.19 then 17.54, with a bigger re-rate possible into/after earnings if results confirm improving fundamentals.
Trend/structure: Bullish moving-average stack (SMA_5 > SMA_20 > SMA_200) signals an ongoing uptrend/positive medium-term structure. Momentum: MACD histogram (-0.00756) is below zero and negatively expanding, suggesting momentum has softened and the stock may be consolidating rather than accelerating upward. RSI_6 at ~53.8 is neutral (no overbought pressure). Levels: Pivot 16.63 is the key line to hold. Immediate resistance R1 17.19, then R2 17.54. Supports S1 16.07, S2 15.72. Quant pattern read: Similar-pattern stats imply a positive drift (approx. +1.18% next day, +1.3% next week, +9.67% next month), consistent with a buy-the-dip/continue-trend setup if 16.63 holds.
Intellectia Proprietary Trading Signals
after Q3 beat/guidance.
Profitability weakness: Q3 net income and EPS declined sharply YoY (net income -153.01% YoY; EPS -161.54% YoY), which can cap valuation expansion unless improvement is demonstrated.
Momentum cooling: MACD histogram below zero and worsening suggests the uptrend is not currently accelerating.
Event risk: Earnings in February can create sharp gaps both directions.
Positioning risk: Extremely one-sided call skew can backfire if results/news disappoint.
Latest quarter: 2025/Q3. Growth: Revenue rose to $180.161M (+18.53% YoY), indicating healthy top-line momentum. Profitability: Net income fell to $8.666M (-153.01% YoY) and EPS to $0.32 (-161.54% YoY), showing earnings did not track revenue growth. Margins: Gross margin expanded to 80.65% (+9.07% YoY), a constructive sign that the core economics improved even though net income/EPS weakened.
Recent trend: Positive. Two notable updates on 2025-11-17—Jefferies raised PT to $20 from $18 (kept Buy) and Citi raised PT to $22 from $20 (kept Buy) following a Q3 beat and favorable commentary. Wall Street pros: Raised targets + reiterated Buys point to confidence in product/monetization (ads solutions) and games execution. Wall Street cons: The sharp YoY drop in net income/EPS is the main counterweight; bulls will want confirmation that earnings quality improves in upcoming quarters. Influential/political trading: No recent congress trading data available; hedge funds and insiders are reported neutral with no significant recent trend.
