YOD - You On Demand Holdings, Inc.

You On Demand Holdings, Inc. (YOD) is a Chinese media and entertainment company based in Beijing. The company is engaged in providing premium content and integrated value-added service solutions for the delivery of video content to consumers in China. You On Demand's services include subscription video on demand (SVOD), transactional video on demand (TVOD), and pay-per-view (PPV) services, as well as other value-added services such as marketing, advertising, and content distribution.

The company was founded in 2004 and was the first company to receive a license to offer video on demand services in China. You On Demand initially focused on providing international content to Chinese audiences, including Hollywood movies and TV shows. However, in recent years, the company has shifted its focus to producing and distributing original Chinese content, including movies, TV dramas, and variety shows.

You On Demand's services are available on a range of platforms, including smart TVs, set-top boxes, and mobile devices. The company has partnerships with a number of major telecom operators and internet companies in China, including China Mobile, China Telecom, and Tencent.

In addition to its core video content business, You On Demand has also launched several other businesses, including an e-commerce platform for the sale of entertainment-related products, a music streaming service, and a gaming platform. The company has also made investments in a number of other media and entertainment companies in China.

Despite its early success as a pioneer in the Chinese video on demand market, You On Demand has faced significant challenges in recent years, including increasing competition from domestic rivals and a changing regulatory environment. The company has struggled to achieve profitability, and its stock price has declined significantly since its initial public offering in 2011.
