On July 2, Baidu Group-SW rose 3.92% in regular trading, trading at HK$114.0/share, with turnover of HK$313 million. The stock continues to gain on sustained catalysts from Kunlunxin's planned Hong Kong IPO.
Baidu's AI chip subsidiary Kunlunxin is preparing for a Hong Kong listing at a target valuation of approximately $50 billion, exceeding Baidu's current market capitalization. The company's flagship product, the P800 chip, has completed large-scale validation and delivered multiple 10,000-card computing clusters. Notably, Tencent has already become a Kunlunxin client, while ByteDance is also considering adopting its AI chips. Potential anchor investors are reportedly required to commit to purchasing Kunlunxin chips worth 3 to 7 times their IPO subscription amount, strengthening pre-listing order visibility and revenue support.
Additionally, BOCOM International recently upgraded Baidu's US-listed target price to $175 with a Buy rating, projecting an earnings inflection point in the second half of the year, with AI new business revenue share expected to rise from 53% to 64% by 2028.
