Baidu's Outlook Unchanged Despite 1Q Beat -- Market Talk

Dow Jones05-20 13:48

0548 GMT - Baidu's 1Q results beating expectations doesn't change its 2026 and longer-term outlook, as AI investment is expected to rise, Morningstar analyst Chelsey Tam says in a note. Investors remain focused on Baidu's AI chip subsidiary, Kunlunxin, which management expects to list in Hong Kong by August. She estimates Kunlunxin's valuation at between HK$400 million and HK$500 million, with that figure potentially rising if it reports stronger-than-expected financials during the IPO. Morningstar maintains fair value estimates of HK$125.00 on Baidu's H-shares and US$128.00 on the ADRs. The H-shares last traded at HK$134.10, while the ADRs closed at US$137.68.
