Closing Trade GS Bullish Trade Adjustment Signal...
Read MoreAs China’s leader in AI, Baidu trades at a significant discount and presents a rare opportunity for investors to gain long exposure to AI at a bargain-basement valuation. Its LLM AI chatbot ERNIE recently surpassed 200M users which, which includes over 85,000 revenue-generating enterprise clients. We are using the multi-year underperformance of BIDU’s stock as an opportunity to enter an investment with a favorable risk to reward.
Technical Analysis
Since July of last year, BIDU has declined about 40% but just last week, momentum turned positive and BIDU broke out above its bearish trendline. The immediate upside target is only $117, but a break above that would target $135 and $150 as extended targets.
BIDU – Daily
Fundamental Analysis
BIDU trades at only 11x forward earnings, despite analysts expecting EPS to grow by 10% and Revenues by 12%. This is despite a very healthy net margin of 15% and an AI user base that has doubled in less than 6 months. As revenues from its AI business start to show up in earnings, I expect BIDU to start trading closer to its median valuation of 18x for its peers.
