Baidu's stock (BIDU) soared 5.33% in the 24-hour trading session, reflecting strong investor sentiment following a significant corporate announcement.
The surge comes after Baidu revealed plans to spin off and list its non-wholly owned subsidiary, Kunlunxin (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd., on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The move is intended to independently showcase Kunlunxin's value, attract investors interested in the AI chip sector, and enhance its market profile.
Analysts believe the spin-off will broaden Kunlunxin's financing channels and better align management accountability with performance, supporting Baidu's efforts to unlock the value of its AI-powered businesses. This strategic initiative has been well-received by the market, driving the stock's upward movement.
