Read MoreHide Full Article
Baidu, Inc. (BIDU - Free Report) is scheduled to report second-quarter 2022 results on Aug 30.
For the second quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $4.43 billion, indicating a decline of 8.8% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at $1.63 per share, suggesting a decline of 31.8% from the prior-year reported figure.
The company beat estimates in all of the trailing four quarters, delivering an earnings surprise of 52.86%, on average.
Solid momentum across Baidu’s AI business is expected to have continued driving its top-line growth in the second quarter. Strength across Baidu Cloud is likely to have been the key catalyst for the business.
The growing PaddlePaddle developer community and the rising adoption of Baidu ACE smart transportation are expected to have contributed well to the performance of the AI business in the to-be-reported quarter.
Apart from this, the impacts of Baidu’s expanding footprint in the autonomous driving space are expected to get reflected in the upcoming results.
The strong momentum of Apollo Go Robotaxi service across China on the back of its increasing availability in several cities and a growing number of rides is likely to have benefitted the company in the quarter under review.
Apart from this, sustained efforts to bolster the mobile search engine and AI tools are anticipated to have aided the second-quarter performance.
The strengthening of Baidu's mobile ecosystem is expected to have contributed to growth in the average daily active user base of the Baidu App in the second quarter. Hosted solutions on the Baidu App are expected to have driven the Baidu Core segment in the to-be-reported quarter.
In addition to these, the company’s well-performing iQIYI segment, which offers online entertainment services, is expected to have contributed well to the to-be-reported quarter’s performance.
However, the impacts of higher promotional expenses and heavy spending on new growth areas are expected to have affected the company’s performance in the quarter under discussion.
Uncertainties related to the coronavirus pandemic in China are anticipated to have been concerning.
