In the first quarter, Baidu's non-GAAP EBIT fell 29% year on year due to a decline in the search business but grew 28% sequentially to CNY 3.8 billion thanks to acceleration in the artificial intelligence-powered businesses. Baidu thinks Kunlunxin is on track to list in Hong Kong by August.
Baidu becomes one of the top two AI chatbot providers in China, enabling large-scale monetization of AI-generated search results and driving a revival in online advertising revenue.
Baidu’s core search business declines faster than expected, putting significant pressure on the company’s cash position and resulting in insufficient investment capacity for AI initiatives.
