"Baidu.com (NASDAQ: BIDU) reported Q2 EPS of $1.47, $0.60 better than the analyst estimate of $0.87. Revenue for the quarter came in at $3.85 billion versus the consensus estimate of $3.66 billion.
"Our focus on strengthening Baidu's mobile ecosystem through knowledge-based content, BJH accounts, smart mini programs and managed pages on Baidu's platform is translating into better user experience, stronger traffic growth, and, we believe, ultimately higher conversion for our customers. In June, Baidu App DAUs reached 188 million, up 27% year over year, in-app search queries grew over 20% year over year and smart mini program MAUs reached 270 million, up 49% sequentially," said Robin Li, Baidu co-founder and CEO. "On Baidu's AI businesses, DuerOS voice assistant continues to experience strong momentum with installed base surpassing 400 million devices, up 4.5 fold year over year, and monthly voice queries surpassing 3.6 billion, up 7.5 fold year over year, in June. As mobile internet penetration in China slows, we are excited about the huge opportunity to provide content and service providers a cross-platform distribution channel beyond mobile, into smart homes and automobiles."
"Baidu delivered a solid second quarter with revenues reaching RMB 26.3 billion, growing 9% sequentially, and Baidu Core revenues growing 12% sequentially, despite the weak macro environment, our self-directed healthcare initiative, industry-specific policy changes and large influx of ad inventory." said Herman Yu, Baidu CFO. "With Baidu traffic growing robustly and our mobile ecosystem continuing to expand, we are in a good position to focus on capitalizing monetization and ROI improvement opportunities to deliver shareholder value."
GUIDANCE:
For the third quarter of 2019, Baidu expects revenues to be between RMB 26.9 billion ($3.84 billion[3]) and RMB 28.5 billion ($4.07 billion), representing -5% to 1% increase year over year, or -1% to 5% increase year over year, excluding revenues from announced divestures, and 2% to 8% increase quarter over quarter. Previously announced divestures, which were consummated in 2018, generated approximately RMB 1.0 billion revenue in the third quarter of 2018. This forecast reflects Baidu's current and preliminary view, which is subject to substantial uncertainty."

Das liest sich doch alles recht gut. Habe mir vor ein paar Tagen mal eine Erstposition aufgebaut. Langfristig hoffe ich, dass Baidu wieder den Weg nach oben findet, trotz temporärer Schwächephase. |
