Zhihu reported Q1 2026 revenue of 652 million yuan, down 10.7% YoY, but adjusted net profit surged 147.2% to 17.16 million yuan. Paid content and IP operations accounted for 61.7% of revenue, driven by AI short dramas and manga dramas. The industry shows two models: mass production (Yanyan Story) and premium hits (AiKan Interactive). Despite profit improvement, revenue has declined for three consecutive years, with profitability relying on cost cuts rather than growth.
