Episode Transcript
Bydou Shares have experienced considerable volatility over the last several
trading sessions. Emerging is one of the most closely watched
Chinese technology stories for July. The stock is currently trading
near eighty six United States dollars and fifty cents, after
a steep drop in recent days that erased more than
two billion United States dollars in market capitalization. Over five
(00:20):
million shares traded on the previous session, a volume notably
higher than its typical averages, underscoring surging interest in the
stock as it tests support levels not seen since April
of the prior year. Much of this volatility stems from
conflicting signals in both Baidu's business fundamentals and broader market
perceptions about the company's future. Bidu recently announced a high

profile partnership with Uber to deploy over one thousand autonomous
vehicles across Asia and the Middle East, leveraging its Apollo
Go technology. This splashy move sent shares up nine percent
in the session immediately after the announcement, but these games
have operated as fresh analyst downgrades and mounting revenue concerns
quickly took precedents. Jeffrey's Financial Group lowered its price target
(01:03):
on the stock from one hundred and twenty United States
dollars to one hundred and ten United States dollars, while
Nomera reduced its target to ninety three United States dollars.
Market skepticism now centers on the pace of artificial intelligence
product monetization and a pronounced decline in core advertising revenues,
with recent analyst research predicting a year over year drop
(01:23):
of over fifteen percent in by due search advertising revenue
for its second quarter. City meanwhile reaffirmed a buy rating
and raised its price target to one hundred and forty
United States dollars, but this optimism comes with warnings about
transitional pain as Bydo retools its business around artificial intelligence
and autonomous driving platforms. Consensus earnings estimates currently expect an

earnings per share for the quarter at two United States
dollars and five cents, down close to thirty percent from
the prior year, and second quarter revenues to slip to
four billion, six hundred million United States dollars, although techtechnical
indicators suggest the stock may be oversold in the short term.
Sustained uncertainty around advertising artificial intelligence adoption timelines and new

international regulatory risks keep Biden's near term trajectory highly unpredictable.
