Baidu Inc Stock Has a Lot More Room to Run Higher
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
The party in Chinese internet stocks is just getting started
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInLeft”]Welcome to the party, Baidu Inc (ADR) (NYSE:BIDU) stock. BIDU stock was certainly late to the party that has sent China internet stocks roaring higher, but the Chinese online search giant has finally arrived. After being flat for most the year, BIDU stock has taken off like a rocket ship ever since a strong earnings report at the end of July.
BIDU stock is now up 50% year-to-date versus a 12.5% run higher for the S&P 500.
But BIDU stock still has a lot of ground to make up. Tencent Holdings Ltd (OTCMKTS:TCEHY) stock is up 80% so far this year. Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:BABA) stock is up about 95%. Weibo Corp (ADR)(NASDAQ:WB) stock is up more than 140%, while Baozun Inc (ADR)(NASDAQ:BZUN) stock is up about 180%.
All the sudden, BIDU’s 50% gain seems relatively unimpressive.
But the BIDU growth story is just as strong now that the company has moved past its biggest headwind. Investment takeaway? Buy BIDU stock.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn”]
Baidu Is Back on Track
Here’s the quick-and-dirty on why to buy BIDU stock.
It used to be one of Wall Street’s favorites. But then Wall Street put its love affair with BIDU on hold when the company was at the center of a huge online search controversy that involved the death of a student. BIDU officially phased out of that controversy last quarter, and now Wall Street is back in bed with this hyper-growth tech stock.
Lets look at the numbers for proof.
In 2015, Baidu reported revenue growth in excess of 35%. Growth in the first quarter of 2016 was 31%. That lapped 34% growth in the first quarter of 2015. Big takeaway is that this was a 30%-plus revenue growth machine that wasn’t showing many signs of slowing.[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row]
