  • Autohome's Special Dividend and Rising Institutional Stakes Spark Portfolio Review
    February 1, 2026, 4:08 PM EST. Autohome (ATHM) announced a special dividend payable February 19 to shareholders of record December 31. Institutional investors like Federated Hermes, Invesco, and Schroder increased holdings in Q3, signaling growing confidence. The dividend underscores Autohome's strong balance sheet and capital return strategy, though near-term growth and profitability challenges persist with subdued margins and earnings forecasts. Shares are trading about 38% above some fair value estimates, reflecting divergent investor views on the company's outlook. This combination prompts investors to reassess the stock's risk-reward balance amid a cooling growth environment and questions over dividend sustainability. Autohome remains a key player in China's online auto market, but investors must weigh the evolving capital allocation against modest returns and mixed earnings potential.
