Speaker 1 (00:00):
Baido, traded on the NASDAC under the symbol BIDU, is
currently priced around ninety three United States dollars per share,
reflecting a moderate gain from earlier this year, when shares
opened at just over eighty four United States dollars. In
recent trading, the stock experienced a small uptake of less
than one half of one percent, closing at ninety two

(00:23):
point eight nine United States dollars, and over the last
thirty days, the price has been persistently edging higher. Average
trading volume typically exceeds ten million shares. However, the most
recent trading day saw less than five million shares change hands,
showing a drop of about thirty per cent in volume,
even as the price logged nearly eight percent gains over

(00:45):
five straight sessions. This relatively light volume on an up
trend could signal a waiting period ahead of upcoming news.
In terms of corporate updates, by Dew has announced that
its board of directors will meet on August twentieth, two thousand,
twenty five, to approve and release unaudited financial results for
the second quarter of the year. That announcement, combined with

(01:07):
a scheduled earnings call, has drawn attention as investors and
analysts look for commentary on Baidu's ongoing strategy and performance,
especially at a time when the company's artificial intelligence and
cloud computing initiatives remain in focus. Recent analyst activity has
been mixed. There was a notable price target cut a
week ago attributed to ongoing challenges with advertising revenue, which

(01:31):
continues to be a key area of concern for Bideu's
court business. At the same time, the Hong Kong listed
shares of Baidu have been assigned a bullish target around
one hundred thirty four Hong Kong dollars by some analysts,
indicating diverging outlooks depending both on region and on product
mix expectations. Technical signals and sentiment remain cautious, with some

(01:54):
reports assigning a cell recommendation, even as option traders have
registered increased bullish position, especially in longer dated call options,
with strike prices just above the current trading range. In summary,
Bydew's stock is entering a period of heightened anticipation, with
upcoming financial results and strategic guidance potentially acting as major catalysts.

(02:17):
While the year to date game is close to ten percent,
the market remains watchful caught between Biden's artificial intelligence potential
and persistent ad business headwinds.
