Shares in iQiyi Inc., a Chinese Netflix-style video streaming service controlled by search giant Baidu Inc., fell slightly in their trading debut after the company raised $2.25 billion in a U.S. initial public offering.
The stock opened at $18.20 in New York on Thursday. Beijing-based iQiyi sold 125 million U.S. depositary shares at $18 apiece, pricing in the middle of the marketed range.
