Baidu Q2: AI Infrastructure Is Gaining Momentum, But Search Faces Structural Pressure
Baidu is transforming into an AI-driven company, with AI now contributing over 50% of revenue since Q1 2026. I maintain a HOLD rating on BIDU, as the legacy search business faces AI disruption and the AI infrastructure segment faces intense competition. My DCF valuation yields a fair value range of $90.25–$102.7, implying current pricing is fully valued with limited upside.
