0231 GMT - Baidu's advertisement revenue will likely drop further in 4Q, hurt by a challenging macroeconomic environment and continued weak ad demand, Nomura analysts write in a note. The Chinese search-engine company has included more AI-generated content in its results, which have yet to be monetized, they note. Nomura expects ad revenue to fall 9% on year in 4Q. It maintains a buy rating on the U.S.-listed company but cuts the target price to $104.00 from $110.00. Baidu's ADRs last closed at $80.33. (jiahui.huang@wsj.com; @ivy_jiahuihuang)
