AI commentary
The Q2 miss prompted a sharp reported August 18 selloff, and the September 24 anchor of $88.08 remains below the pre-print $104.12 price cited in earnings coverage. Post-print analyst revisions are negative in the checked sources, but the packet lacks a reliable current target distribution. Social, options, short-interest and employee measures are unavailable; zero entries above denote missing data, not neutral readings. Earnings reaction Analyst revision coverage

2026-11-30eventNext operating-results test: AI growth versus advertising declineMedium impact
The next results release, whose date has not been confirmed here, should test whether AI Cloud Infra can offset legacy weakness. In Q2, AI Cloud Infra revenue rose 50% year over year to RMB7.3 billion, while online marketing services revenue fell 19% to RMB13.1 billion. The date is an estimated monitoring horizon, not a company-announced earnings date. [#IR-Q2-2026-08-18] Baidu Q2 release
2026-12-31catalystAI investment versus cash generationMedium impact
Baidu reported Q2 operating cash flow of RMB3.4 billion, capital expenditure of RMB11.39 billion and negative free cash flow of RMB7.95 billion. Whether AI investment begins producing adequate cash returns is the near-term test; Moody's September 24 negative outlook adds credit scrutiny. [#IR-Q2-2026-08-18] Baidu Q2 release
2027-09-30catalystApollo Go commercializationHigh impact
Baidu reported fully driverless commercial operations in Dubai and testing or expansion activity in several other markets. Its disclosed footprint reached 28 cities, but the release does not establish robotaxi profitability; commercial economics remain the longer-duration test. [#IR-Q2-2026-08-18] Baidu Q2 release
