I was observing the money flow for weeks after the big sell off, looks like more smart money had flowed into baidu but small investors are still selling. I'm not surprised if smart money are manipulating the market, causing retails investors stress and sell at a lose. Just my personal view (may be wrong). I still holding onto my shares and is considering to add more. Cheers.

I think Baidu is good. Just that it is a Chinese controlled company.

The shares would go from $136 to $354 in mid-March.\nBut since then, things have not gone so well. Note that BIDU stock is now fetching $216 and the market capitalization is $73 billion.\nOf course, Wall Street has been rotating away from growth stocks to cyclicals and travel companies, as the novel corona virus has begun to fade away. It is far from clear how long this move will last.\nHowever, as for Baidu, the fundamentals have certainly been improving. There has also been encouraging traction with its efforts with cloud computing and AI (Artificial Intelligence) and ML (Machine Learning). In the meantime, the company has looked for ways to enhance the stock price, such as with an increase in the buyback program.\nBut despite all this, I actually think investors should be wary on BIDU stock. Why so? Well, here are some risk factors that can mean further selling:\nCompetition\nThe traditional key-word search business has remained quite robust over the past two decades. But the market is starting to change. There has been the emergence of video content, which has become a form of search. Oh, and even audio is becoming a factor. This has been the case with the huge success of Clubhouse as well as with AI assistants, likeApple’s(NASDAQ:AAPL) Siri andAmazon’s(NASDAQ:AMZN) Alexa.\nIn such an environment, it can be tough for a legacy company like Baidu to remain competitive and relevant. Now it has been investing in building video platforms likeIQIYI(NASDAQ:IQ). Yet this business has been under pressure. In the latest quarter, therevenues dropped by 1% to $1.1 billion and there was a net loss of $237.2 million.\nAnother issue for BIDU stock isTencent Holdings’(OTCMKTS:TCEHY) WeChat. This platform – which has over 1.1 billion users – has become a core way for people to engage in a myriad of activities like e-commerce, ride hailing, video calling and so on.\nThe AI Play\nIt’s true that Baidu has built an impressive set of AI technologies. This has been a part of significant investment in R&D.\nFor example, the company’s DuerOS smart assistantlogged 6.2 billion MAU (Monthly Active User) queries, up 66% on a year-over-year basis. The system provides more than 4,400 skills and has a developer community of about 47,000.\nAs for the autonomous technology, Baidu has certainly made progress. The Apollo Self Driving (ASD) system was able to snag partnerships with ten local and multinational automakers. The applications are for areas like automated parking, and high-definition maps.\nHowever, investors should temper their expectations. The reality is that self-driving technology has proven extremely complicated and the adoption has been slow. In other words, monetization will likely take time to hit critical mass.\nRegulatory Issues for BIDU Stock\nIn the waning days of the Trump Administration, there were rules adopted to delist Chinese stocks if certain audit standards were not maintained. And yes, there aresigns that the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) may carry this out. For the most part, the Biden Administration is no fan of China either.\nSo if there is a delisting of BIDU stock, this would mean much less liquidity and transparency.  These are certainly major risk factors.\nBut there is something else investors need to be concerned about: China’s own regulatory moves. It appears that President Xi is getting more intrusive with big tech, as seen with the moves againstAlibaba(NYSE:BABA). All in all, this may ultimately result in new restrictions on Chinese companies that could hamper growth and profitability.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":371190290,"gmtCreate":1618917953310,"gmtModify":1704716825532,"author":{"id":"3557309240677406","authorId":"3557309240677406","name":"海星辰","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/516c3206ce72ee8a8f229024e23323ea","vip":1,"crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3557309240677406","idStr":"3557309240677406"},"htmlText":"Let time proof baidu is value stock","listText":"Let time proof baidu is value stock","text":"Let time proof baidu is value stock","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/371190290","repostId":1175524598,"repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1175524598","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1618895037,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1175524598?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-04-20 13:03","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Baidu Stock: 3 Reasons To Stay Away","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1175524598","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"The regulatory issues continue to be a problem.\n\nAlong with various other large Chinese tech compani","content":"<blockquote>\n The regulatory issues continue to be a problem.\n</blockquote>\nAlong with various other large Chinese tech companies,Baidu(NASDAQ:BIDU) stock started an impressive rally in November.

This has been a part of significant investment in R&amp;D.\nFor example, the company’s DuerOS smart assistantlogged 6.2 billion MAU (Monthly Active User) queries, up 66% on a year-over-year basis. The system provides more than 4,400 skills and has a developer community of about 47,000.\nAs for the autonomous technology, Baidu has certainly made progress. The Apollo Self Driving (ASD) system was able to snag partnerships with ten local and multinational automakers. The applications are for areas like automated parking, and high-definition maps.\nHowever, investors should temper their expectations. The reality is that self-driving technology has proven extremely complicated and the adoption has been slow. In other words, monetization will likely take time to hit critical mass.\nRegulatory Issues for BIDU Stock\nIn the waning days of the Trump Administration, there were rules adopted to delist Chinese stocks if certain audit standards were not maintained.

The shares would go from $136 to $354 in mid-March.\nBut since then, things have not gone so well. Note that BIDU stock is now fetching $216 and the market capitalization is $73 billion.\nOf course, Wall Street has been rotating away from growth stocks to cyclicals and travel companies, as the novel corona virus has begun to fade away. It is far from clear how long this move will last.\nHowever, as for Baidu, the fundamentals have certainly been improving. There has also been encouraging traction with its efforts with cloud computing and AI (Artificial Intelligence) and ML (Machine Learning). In the meantime, the company has looked for ways to enhance the stock price, such as with an increase in the buyback program.\nBut despite all this, I actually think investors should be wary on BIDU stock. Why so? Well, here are some risk factors that can mean further selling:\nCompetition\nThe traditional key-word search business has remained quite robust over the past two decades. But the market is starting to change. There has been the emergence of video content, which has become a form of search. Oh, and even audio is becoming a factor. This has been the case with the huge success of Clubhouse as well as with AI assistants, likeApple’s(NASDAQ:AAPL) Siri andAmazon’s(NASDAQ:AMZN) Alexa.\nIn such an environment, it can be tough for a legacy company like Baidu to remain competitive and relevant. Now it has been investing in building video platforms likeIQIYI(NASDAQ:IQ). Yet this business has been under pressure. In the latest quarter, therevenues dropped by 1% to $1.1 billion and there was a net loss of $237.2 million.\nAnother issue for BIDU stock isTencent Holdings’(OTCMKTS:TCEHY) WeChat. This platform – which has over 1.1 billion users – has become a core way for people to engage in a myriad of activities like e-commerce, ride hailing, video calling and so on.\nThe AI Play\nIt’s true that Baidu has built an impressive set of AI technologies. This has been a part of significant investment in R&amp;D.\nFor example, the company’s DuerOS smart assistantlogged 6.2 billion MAU (Monthly Active User) queries, up 66% on a year-over-year basis. The system provides more than 4,400 skills and has a developer community of about 47,000.\nAs for the autonomous technology, Baidu has certainly made progress. The Apollo Self Driving (ASD) system was able to snag partnerships with ten local and multinational automakers. The applications are for areas like automated parking, and high-definition maps.\nHowever, investors should temper their expectations. The reality is that self-driving technology has proven extremely complicated and the adoption has been slow. In other words, monetization will likely take time to hit critical mass.\nRegulatory Issues for BIDU Stock\nIn the waning days of the Trump Administration, there were rules adopted to delist Chinese stocks if certain audit standards were not maintained. And yes, there aresigns that the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) may carry this out. For the most part, the Biden Administration is no fan of China either.\nSo if there is a delisting of BIDU stock, this would mean much less liquidity and transparency.&nbsp; These are certainly major risk factors.\nBut there is something else investors need to be concerned about: China’s own regulatory moves.

In the latest quarter, therevenues dropped by 1% to $1.1 billion and there was a net loss of $237.2 million.\nAnother issue for BIDU stock isTencent Holdings’(OTCMKTS:TCEHY) WeChat.

This has been a part of significant investment in R&amp;D.\nFor example, the company’s DuerOS smart assistantlogged 6.2 billion MAU (Monthly Active User) queries, up 66% on a year-over-year basis. The system provides more than 4,400 skills and has a developer community of about 47,000.\nAs for the autonomous technology, Baidu has certainly made progress. The Apollo Self Driving (ASD) system was able to snag partnerships with ten local and multinational automakers. The applications are for areas like automated parking, and high-definition maps.\nHowever, investors should temper their expectations. The reality is that self-driving technology has proven extremely complicated and the adoption has been slow. In other words, monetization will likely take time to hit critical mass.\nRegulatory Issues for BIDU Stock\nIn the waning days of the Trump Administration, there were rules adopted to delist Chinese stocks if certain audit standards were not maintained. And yes, there aresigns that the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) may carry this out.

The shares would go from $136 to $354 in mid-March.\nBut since then, things have not gone so well. Note that BIDU stock is now fetching $216 and the market capitalization is $73 billion.\nOf course, Wall Street has been rotating away from growth stocks to cyclicals and travel companies, as the novel corona virus has begun to fade away. It is far from clear how long this move will last.\nHowever, as for Baidu, the fundamentals have certainly been improving. There has also been encouraging traction with its efforts with cloud computing and AI (Artificial Intelligence) and ML (Machine Learning). In the meantime, the company has looked for ways to enhance the stock price, such as with an increase in the buyback program.\nBut despite all this, I actually think investors should be wary on BIDU stock. Why so? Well, here are some risk factors that can mean further selling:\nCompetition\nThe traditional key-word search business has remained quite robust over the past two decades. But the market is starting to change. There has been the emergence of video content, which has become a form of search. Oh, and even audio is becoming a factor. This has been the case with the huge success of Clubhouse as well as with AI assistants, likeApple’s(NASDAQ:AAPL) Siri andAmazon’s(NASDAQ:AMZN) Alexa.\nIn such an environment, it can be tough for a legacy company like Baidu to remain competitive and relevant. Now it has been investing in building video platforms likeIQIYI(NASDAQ:IQ). Yet this business has been under pressure. In the latest quarter, therevenues dropped by 1% to $1.1 billion and there was a net loss of $237.2 million.\nAnother issue for BIDU stock isTencent Holdings’(OTCMKTS:TCEHY) WeChat. This platform – which has over 1.1 billion users – has become a core way for people to engage in a myriad of activities like e-commerce, ride hailing, video calling and so on.\nThe AI Play\nIt’s true that Baidu has built an impressive set of AI technologies. This has been a part of significant investment in R&amp;D.\nFor example, the company’s DuerOS smart assistantlogged 6.2 billion MAU (Monthly Active User) queries, up 66% on a year-over-year basis. The system provides more than 4,400 skills and has a developer community of about 47,000.\nAs for the autonomous technology, Baidu has certainly made progress. The Apollo Self Driving (ASD) system was able to snag partnerships with ten local and multinational automakers. The applications are for areas like automated parking, and high-definition maps.\nHowever, investors should temper their expectations. The reality is that self-driving technology has proven extremely complicated and the adoption has been slow. In other words, monetization will likely take time to hit critical mass.\nRegulatory Issues for BIDU Stock\nIn the waning days of the Trump Administration, there were rules adopted to delist Chinese stocks if certain audit standards were not maintained. And yes, there aresigns that the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) may carry this out. For the most part, the Biden Administration is no fan of China either.\nSo if there is a delisting of BIDU stock, this would mean much less liquidity and transparency.&nbsp; These are certainly major risk factors.\nBut there is something else investors need to be concerned about: China’s own regulatory moves. It appears that President Xi is getting more intrusive with big tech, as seen with the moves againstAlibaba(NYSE:BABA). All in all, this may ultimately result in new restrictions on Chinese companies that could hamper growth and profitability.","source":"lsy1606302653667","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Baidu Stock: 3 Reasons To Stay Away</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nBaidu Stock: 3 Reasons To Stay Away\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-20 13:03 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://investorplace.com/2021/04/baidu-stock-3-reasons-to-stay-away/>InvestorPlace</a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\nThe regulatory issues continue to be a problem.\n\nAlong with various other large Chinese tech companies,Baidu(NASDAQ:BIDU) stock started an impressive rally in November.

In other words, monetization will likely take time to hit critical mass.\nRegulatory Issues for BIDU Stock\nIn the waning days of the Trump Administration, there were rules adopted to delist Chinese stocks if certain audit standards were not maintained. And yes, there aresigns that the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) may carry this out. For the most part, the Biden Administration is no fan of China either.\nSo if there is a delisting of BIDU stock, this would mean much less liquidity and transparency.  These are certainly major risk factors.\nBut there is something else investors need to be concerned about: China’s own regulatory moves. It appears that President Xi is getting more intrusive with big tech, as seen with the moves againstAlibaba(NYSE:BABA).

The applications are for areas like automated parking, and high-definition maps.\nHowever, investors should temper their expectations. The reality is that self-driving technology has proven extremely complicated and the adoption has been slow. In other words, monetization will likely take time to hit critical mass.\nRegulatory Issues for BIDU Stock\nIn the waning days of the Trump Administration, there were rules adopted to delist Chinese stocks if certain audit standards were not maintained. And yes, there aresigns that the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) may carry this out. For the most part, the Biden Administration is no fan of China either.\nSo if there is a delisting of BIDU stock, this would mean much less liquidity and transparency.  These are certainly major risk factors.\nBut there is something else investors need to be concerned about: China’s own regulatory moves. It appears that President Xi is getting more intrusive with big tech, as seen with the moves againstAlibaba(NYSE:BABA). All in all, this may ultimately result in new restrictions on Chinese companies that could hamper growth and profitability.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"hasMoreComments":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":30,"commentSize":17,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false}}
