Baidu - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy).

Baidu
Bull Case

Baidu, Inc. has recently partnered with major companies like Uber and Lyft to develop robotaxi services, indicating a strong push into innovative technology and potential revenue growth.
The current stock price is around $89, which may present a buying opportunity for investors looking for value in a company with significant market presence.
Analysts have given Baidu, Inc. a consensus target price of approximately $105.09, suggesting potential upside from the current trading levels.
With a market capitalization of about $30.77 billion, Baidu, Inc. is a well-established player in the internet services sector, providing a level of stability for investors.
The company has a relatively low price-to-earnings ratio of 8.84, which may indicate that the stock is undervalued compared to its earnings potential.

Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Baidu, Inc. for these reasons:

Some analysts have lowered their price targets for Baidu, Inc., which could signal a lack of confidence in the company's short-term growth prospects.
