Description: BIDU Baidu December 03, 2025
Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ:BIDU) operates an internet platform in China that delivers both online marketing services (search, feed, cloud, AI-driven advertising) and a suite of non-marketing, AI-enhanced products, organized into two primary segments: Baidu Core and iQIYI.
The Baidu Core segment powers the Baidu App, short-video platform Haokan, knowledge portals (Baidu Wiki, Baidu Knows, Baidu Experience), the ERNIE large-language-model bot, Baidu Post social media, AI-chip development, DuerOS voice assistant, Baidu Maps, and autonomous-driving solutions such as Apollo auto and Apollo Go ride-hailing.
The iQIYI segment runs China’s leading subscription-based video streaming service, offering a mix of original productions, licensed content, and user-generated videos, and competes directly with Tencent Video and Youku.
Recent performance indicators (Q4 2023) show Baidu’s total revenue at ¥33.9 billion (≈ US$4.7 bn), with AI-cloud services growing ~45% YoY, while iQIYI’s paid-subscriber base reached roughly 115 million, a modest 3% increase quarter-over-quarter. The company’s AI-chip shipments are projected to rise 30% YoY as Chinese automakers accelerate autonomous-vehicle pilots, a sector-wide tailwind driven by government subsidies for AI-enabled mobility.
