Movement Alert｜Baidu Group Intraday Decline 3.2%, Profit Drop Weighs on Sentiment Despite AI Revenue Milestone

Market Focus10:04

On May 21, Baidu Group-SW fell 3.2% in regular trading to HK$129.6, with trading volume of HK$284 million, as the market continued to digest its Q1 earnings released on May 18.

The decline reflects ongoing pressure from Baidu's first-quarter results, which showed attributable net income falling sharply to 3.45 billion yuan from 7.72 billion yuan a year earlier, while total revenue slipped to 32.08 billion yuan from 32.45 billion yuan. Traditional advertising revenue declined 28% year-over-year, with core search MAU contracting further.

Despite the profit headwinds, Baidu's AI business revenue reached 13.6 billion yuan, accounting for 52% of core revenue for the first time, with AI cloud infrastructure revenue surging 79% year-over-year. Multiple investment banks responded positively, with JPMorgan raising its Hong Kong target price to HK$225 and Nomura lifting its US target to $190, both maintaining buy ratings. However, the significant near-term earnings compression from heavy AI infrastructure investment continues to pressure the stock in the sessions following the report.
