Episode Transcript
Today, Baidu is trading at just over ninety three United
States dollars per share, which reflects a modest gain over
the last several sessions and places the price above its
recent averages. Trading volume on the latest day was around
two million, four hundred thousand shares, which is roughly half
its recent average daily volume near four million, five hundred thousand,
(00:22):
signaling somewhat muted market activity. The stock is currently well
above its fifty day average price of eighty six dollars
and seventy cents and its two hundred day average of
eighty seven dollars in eighty nine cents. Across the past
twelve months, bydou shares have fluctuated from a low near
seventy five United States dollars to a high above one
(00:42):
hundred sixteen United States dollars, giving investors a wide range.
This year, investor attention is heightened as Bido has drawn
more short interest recently, though its two point six per
cent afloat remains below its leading technology piers. Some see
this as a sign of increased skepticism, but it is
not extreme by industry standards. The most recent earnings report
(01:05):
showed just over three United States dollars per share in
profit for the first quarter of the year, which bolsters
by Due's valuation with a price to earnings ratio in
the low single digits. Major analyst activity has come in
the last week, with Barclay's jerming its target price for
by Due to eighty one United States dollars and keeping
a neutral stance. Meanwhile, City Group has increased its price
(01:26):
target to one hundred forty United States dollars and maintains
a positive outlook, while Jeffreys has reduced its forecast to
one hundred ten United States dollars but still lists the
stock as a bye. The analysts consensus stands at a
hold rating, with the average target hovering just above one
hundred United States dollars. There has been steady investor interest,
(01:47):
with several institutional purchases, but not at extraordinary levels. No
dramatic company announcements of surface this week, but the company
continues to benefit from its strong artificial intelligence platforms, search
engine dominance in China and expanding digital content services BYDUS.
Risk profile is moderate, but its financial ratios in recurring
(02:09):
profitability keep it squarely in focus for both value and
growth oriented investors.
