Baidu: Hidden AI Inflection

Baidu, Inc. is at an AI inflection point, with surging AI Cloud and GPU Cloud growth now eclipsing legacy online marketing revenues. BIDU's AI-powered business grew 49% YoY, while legacy marketing revenues fell 22%, masking AI topline momentum. Kunlunxin, Baidu's AI chip unit, targets a $15 billion IPO, potentially matching BIDU's entire enterprise value and underscoring deep undervaluation.
