Stock Track | Baidu Soars 6.70% in Pre-Market on Analyst Upgrades and KunLun Chip IPO Prospects

Stock Track

Jul 08

Baidu's stock experienced a significant pre-market surge of 6.70% on Wednesday, reflecting strong investor optimism ahead of the trading session.

The sharp increase was primarily driven by positive analyst actions and news surrounding the anticipated initial public offering of Baidu's AI chip subsidiary, KunLun Chip (Kunlunxin). Macquarie raised Baidu's target price from HK$169 to HK$181 while maintaining an Outperform rating, citing the expected IPO as a key value-unlocking event. Reports indicate KunLun Chip is targeting a Hong Kong listing with a valuation of approximately $50 billion, which notably exceeds Baidu's current market capitalization.

Analysts project KunLun Chip's fiscal year 2026 revenue will more than double year-over-year to around RMB 8.5 billion. With Baidu holding a 59% stake in the subsidiary, this represents significant equity value for shareholders. The bullish sentiment is further supported by multiple investment banks maintaining buy ratings on Baidu, reflecting confidence in the company's AI transformation trajectory and the potential value realization from the spin-off.
