  • Yandex: The Winner Of Russia's Search War

    By Dusan Jovanic - May 19, 2013 | Tickers: BIDU, GOOG, QIHU, YNDX

    Yandex (NASDAQ: YNDX) has struggled since the May 2011 IPO, and its share price has never seen the highs it achieved in the first week of trading. But that might change soon, since the company is showing strong growth and expects the growth to continue. The company reported earnings that beat analyst estimates, and the management raised the full year revenue guidance. The market responded with a surge in share more »

  • Now Is the Time to Buy This Internet Giant

    By Mark Yagalla - May 16, 2013 | Tickers: BIDU, QIHU, SOHU

    The Chinese Internet landscape is dominated by a handful of companies. They are fighting one another to consolidate their positions to capture the greatest opportunity of them all -- the Chinese web user. In our lifetime, I feel that China offers investors the greatest investment opportunity. The best company to invest in to capture this growth in China is Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU).

    The largest Chinese search engine, Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU), has just announced that the company will acquire the online video business, PPStream, in a $370 million deal.

  • This $8 Stock Is Set to Scale Greater Heights

    By Harsh Chauhan - May 10, 2013 | Tickers: ATVI, GA, QIHU

    I was never in doubt that Chinese online gaming company Giant Interactive (NYSE: GA) would turn out to be one of the best investments that one could make in 2013, and the stock’s year-to-date appreciation of close to 50% tells me that I was right. But if you’ve missed this gravy train so far, then worry not, as Giant still has gigantic prospects going forward.

    By Ranu D - May 8, 2013 | Tickers: BIDU, QIHU, SINA

    Baidu's (NASDAQ: BIDU) fourth quarter earnings for 2012 were in line with the street’s expectations. The transition from PC to mobile led to a 42% increase in sales year over year -- leading to total sales of $1 billion. Online customers accelerated 31% year over year, up from 28% last quarter and 13% a year ago. Though Baidu’s dominance in PC search is expected to decline over time more »

  • 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 »

  • 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.

    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 »

    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 »

    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 »

  • Baidu: After the Fall

    By Leo Sun - April 2, 2013 | Tickers: BIDU, QIHU, SINA

    There’s no question that Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU), often known as the ‘Google of China,' has been a broken stock over the past twelve months. Shares of the Chinese search leader have plunged 40%, hit by bad news on the macro and micro levels at every leg down. But after the fall, Baidu’s fundamentals are looking very attractive, despite the difficult headwinds it faces.
