  • Turnaround Story Equals Strong Long-Term Investment in This Stock

    By Shas Dey - May 6, 2013 | Tickers: BIDU, GOOG, YHOO

    After replacing four CEOs in the last five years, it finally seems that Yahoo!  (NASDAQ: YHOO) made the right decision by hiring former Google executive Marissa Mayer. She has implemented workforce changes, made a few mobile start-up acquisitions, and prioritized products over profits. The company recently reported its first-quarter results, which show that it is moving steadily on the path of a turnaround.

  • This Search Engine Looks Very Attractive

    By Robert Ciura - May 6, 2013 | Tickers: BIDU, GOOG

    As you might already know, investors are often grouped into one of two camps. Growth investors prefer to find companies that are showing rapid growth in revenue and earnings. Value investors, on the other hand, usually pick stocks that are trading below what the investor perceives to be their intrinsic values.

    A stock that demonstrates the best qualities of both a growth stock and a value stock often represents a more »

    Sina Corporation (NASDAQ: SINA), a major Chinese portal site and creator of Weibo (“China’s Twitter”), recently rallied after the company announced that Internet giant Alibaba (NASDAQOTH: ALBCF.PK) had purchased an 18% stake in Weibo.

  • Baidu: Why Now Is The Time To Buy

    By Daniel Murray - April 30, 2013 | Tickers: BIDU, QIHU, SOHU, TCEHY.PK

    In the last three months, Chinese search engine provider Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU) has seen a dramatic 20% drop in share price. As recently as April 9, The Motley Fool warned that the number of internet users in China may begin to slow, which could become a threat to Baidu's growth. Other outlooks are equally foreboding. International Business Times offered a similarly dismal outlook, explaining, “increased selling has led Baidu more »

  • A Tour Of Countries: China

    By Alexander MacLennan - April 29, 2013 | Tickers: BIDU, CEA, ZNH | Editor's Choice

    Investors looking to move beyond U.S. borders are often attracted to emerging markets for an increased potential for growth. It is rare that a discussion of emerging markets comes up without anyone mentioning China. And there is a good reason for this. Growth in China has often topped double digits and still greatly exceeds the growth in most developed markets. But with the potential for growth comes risk. China more »

    By Ryan Guenette - April 29, 2013 | Tickers: AOL, BIDU, GOOG, MSFT, YHOO

    A leading global technology company focused on improving the way people connect with information, Google (NASDAQ: GOOG), just reported its first-quarter financial results for 2013. Compared to first quarter results from 2012, EPS rose from $10.08 to $11.58, while revenue increased from $10.6 billion to $14 billion.

  • Google Isn't Impervious to Competition

    By Nate Wooley - April 29, 2013 | Tickers: BIDU, GOOG, YHOO

    It's easy – but not true – for investors to consider Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) a special case; they would be wrong.

    Google is good, yes. It's an innovative company with a corporate culture that encourages a seemingly endless stream of new gadgets that delight and entertain. It's also maintained a high level of profitability based on online advertising mostly. There are only two quarterly periods going back to mid-2008 more »

  • These 2 Global Search Engine Giants Are for the Long Run

    By Anh HOANG - April 22, 2013 | Tickers: BIDU, GOOG, YHOO

    I am always interested in successful investment managers who run concentrated portfolios. Robert Karr, one of the Tiger Cubs and the founder of Joho Capital, delivered annualized returns of more than 22% during the period 1996-2010. He has gained most of his investment knowledge from Julian Robertson. He tends to invest significantly in new areas of technology, holding around 14 stocks with more than $900 million in total assets under more »

  • Should You Buy the "Other" Google?

    By Callum Turcan - April 15, 2013 | Tickers: BIDU, GOOG, QIHU

    There is a Chinese company out there just like Google (NASDAQ: GOOG), and it's growing at a faster rate. Right now Google controls 65.2% of the global internet search market (by number of searches, according to comScore), effectively dominating the market. But in China, Google hasn't been able to make inroads for numerous reasons, and Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU) is one of them.

  • Shares of Baidu Are Just Too Cheap

    By RJ Towner - April 12, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, BIDU, GOOG, QIHU

    Valuations for internet technology companies are literally all over the place. On one end of the spectrum sits LinkedIn and Amazon—fast growing firms with sky-high PE multiples and tremendous credit given to the long run. On the other end, we have Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) generating fantastic amounts of free cash flow, and trading with single-digit forward PE multiples. Chinese search giant Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU)falls closer to Apple, and more »

  • What Is Summly Really Giving Yahoo?

    By Mike Thiessen - April 10, 2013 | Tickers: BIDU, GOOG, YHOO

    Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO) announced the acquisition of Summly for $30 million. While the acquisition is small given Yahoo’s $25.9 billion market cap and $1.4 billion in cash, it is representative of changes at Yahoo and potentially in the search and content industry.

  • One of These Growth Stocks Is Not Like the Others

    By Adem Tahiri - April 7, 2013 | Tickers: DDD, AAPL, BIDU, LULU

    A fun way to find fast, emerging stocks is to review Fortune's annual list of the fastest growing companies. The list tracks both earnings growth and revenue growth. It is a great way to find smaller, speedy, lesser known growth stocks.They're risky and less proven, but the upside can be tremendous. 

    But in looking at the most recent "top 20," one can't help but notice that more »

    By Matthew Luke - April 7, 2013 | Tickers: BIDU, GOOG, LUX, MSFT, SNE

    Lately it seems that every other day brings with it news about the emerging wearable technology space. A few days ago I wrote about The Suddenly Crowded Smartwatch Space. In that article I talked about how the much hyped, but completely unconfirmed, Apple iWatch product was being joined by the confirmed Samsung smartwatch and the unconfirmed Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) Android smartwatch.

  • China's Google Is an Even Better Buy Now

    By Matthew Frankel - April 5, 2013 | Tickers: BIDU, GOOG, QIHU

    I have written before about the long-term prospects of Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU), which is often referred to as the “Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) of China.”  Since my initial recommendation, the company has released a less-than-stellar 2012 report and shares have fallen from around $110 to the current level of around $87 per share.  After this 21% plunge, is it time to cut our losses and move on, or is Baidu now more »

  • Has Baidu Become A Value Stock?

    By Timothy Green - April 4, 2013 | Tickers: BIDU, GOOG, QIHU

    Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU), which has been referred to as the Chinese Google (NASDAQ: GOOG), has seen its stock price decline by nearly 50% over the past year. Baidu holds a dominant share of the Chinese online search market but is facing increased competition from the number two company Qihoo (NYSE: QIHU).

  • These 3 Charts Explain Why This Giant Is in Trouble

    By Chad Henage - April 3, 2013 | Tickers: BIDU, GOOG, QIHU, SOHU

    The only thing more certain than death and taxes is change. This seems to be particularly true when it comes to Chinese companies. Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU) stock has been absolutely crushed on concerns about new competition from companies like Qihoo 360 (NYSE: QIHU), and slowing growth. I've owned Baidu in the past, and my initial reaction to these threats was to dismiss them out of hand. Baidu is the more »
