BIDU 1Q24 Results: Baidu Core Ads Could Remain Challenging in the Near Term

What’s new: Baidu’s reported 1Q24 top-line results that were largely in-line with consensus and our expectations. Baidu Core ads could remain challenging in the near-term, while AI Cloud rev growth could accelerate in 2Q and 3Q partly driven by generative-AI related revs. We lower our PT from USD200 to USD170 (16.0x FY24E P/E) partly due to limited visibility in ad recovery. We maintain our BUY rating.
