Baidu Accelerates Robotaxi Expansion and Opens the European DoorBy Ion Jauregui – Analyst at ActivTrades
Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU), the Chinese tech giant, is doubling down on autonomous vehicles through Apollo Go, its robotaxi platform. According to industry sources, the company is planning to expand into Europe, with Switzerland and Turkey as its first potential stops. Although Swiss Post has denied any official collaboration, Baidu has made clear its intention to open a Swiss office before the end of the year. This move could trigger a domino effect across Europe’s autonomous mobility ecosystem. Baidu not only leads the robotaxi market in China, but is also developing a globally scalable model. Europe, with its increasingly strict regulations on smart mobility and sustainability, could provide fertile ground to accelerate its deployment.
This is an opportunity that Uber Technologies (NYSE: UBER) has already sensed. The U.S.-based company has signed strategic agreements with Asian firms such as WeRide, Pony.ai, and Momenta, aiming to roll out its own fleet of electric robotaxis in both Europe and the Middle East. At the same time, it is launching a new low-cost service in the U.S. called “Route Share,” a shared ride option that runs along the busiest routes every 20 minutes at half the price of UberX.
The race to control the cities of the future isn’t limited to Uber and Baidu. Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) continues refining its Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, while Waymo, Google’s (Alphabet, NASDAQ: GOOGL) autonomous vehicle division, already operates driverless robotaxis in several U.S. cities and also has its eyes on Europe. The message is clear: the autonomous driving war has begun, and the battlefield is global. While distrust toward Chinese suppliers grows in Washington—evidenced by Hesai (NASDAQ: HSAI) being added to the U.S. blacklist—Europe is opening new paths for companies like Uber, Bolt, or Free Now to either collaborate or compete with tech giants such as Baidu, Tesla, or Google in the development of urban autonomous fleets.
Baidu in Numbers
As of now, Baidu has not yet released its Q1 2025 financial results. The company is scheduled to announce them on May 21, 2025. However, according to available estimates, Baidu is expected to report a net income of approximately CNY 206.52 billion for fiscal year 2025, which would mark a significant 791.24% increase compared to the CNY 23.17 billion recorded in 2024. In terms of revenue, Baidu is projected to reach around CNY 139.78 billion in 2025, up from CNY 133.13 billion the previous year. These figures reflect a notable improvement in the company’s profitability, likely driven by its focus on emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and autonomous vehicles.
For more detailed and updated information, it is recommended to consult Baidu’s official investor relations site after May 21, 2025, when the Q1 results will be published.
Technical Analysis
Since reaching its peak of $160.88 in 2023, Baidu’s stock has undergone a correction, dropping to a low of $73.58 in 2022, amid the onset of the U.S. tariff war. Currently, after the suspension of tariffs, the stock has rebounded to the $90 range, which corresponds to its current point of control, as trading volume has been concentrated around this price level. It is likely that, following the upcoming earnings report, the stock may surpass the $92.61 mark, which aligns with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level. However, to confirm a solid trend reversal, we would need to see a sustained upward crossover in moving averages—which has not yet occurred. So far, only a bullish crossover of the 50-day and 100-day moving averages was observed in Wednesday’s session. Investors should monitor whether this upward movement continues toward the secondary target of $96 during this summer quarter.
Why Does This Matter to Investors?
Baidu’s expansion into Europe could not only reshape the urban mobility landscape but also spark investment opportunities in software, hardware, LIDAR sensors, cybersecurity, and connected services. For companies like Uber, it also presents a chance to strengthen their leadership while reducing reliance on human drivers.
Europe is looking ahead, and in that future, robotaxis are not science fiction—they’re strategy.

Why Baidu is Considered a Contrarian PlayWhy Baidu is Considered a Contrarian Play:
China's Regulatory Environment: As mentioned with Alibaba, increased regulatory scrutiny in China has impacted investor confidence in Chinese tech companies, including Baidu. This has led to lower valuations.
Competition in Search and AI: Baidu faces competition in its core search business from other platforms and in its AI initiatives from global tech giants. This competitive pressure can lead to investor skepticism.
Concerns about Growth: While Baidu is a leader in AI and autonomous driving in China, some investors are concerned about the monetization of these newer ventures and their contribution to overall growth.
Geopolitical Factors: U.S.-China relations and potential delisting concerns have also cast a shadow over Chinese stocks listed on U.S. exchanges.
The Contrarian Case for Baidu:
Despite these challenges, there are reasons why contrarian investors might find Baidu appealing:
Dominant Search Engine in China: Baidu remains the dominant search engine in China, with a massive user base.4 This provides a strong foundation for its other businesses.
Leader in AI and Autonomous Driving: Baidu has made significant investments in AI and autonomous driving technologies. Its Apollo program is a leading autonomous driving platform in China, with potential for significant growth in the future.
Undervalued Metrics: Compared to its global peers in search and AI, Baidu's stock may appear undervalued based on metrics like P/E ratio.
Potential for Growth in New Ventures: If Baidu can successfully monetize its AI and autonomous driving initiatives, it could unlock significant value for shareholders.
Risks to Keep in Mind:
Regulatory Risks: Changes in Chinese regulations could further impact Baidu's business.
Competition: Intense competition in search, AI, and autonomous driving could limit Baidu's growth potential.
Execution Risk: There is no guarantee that Baidu will be able to successfully commercialize its new technologies.
In Conclusion:
Baidu fits the profile of a contrarian investment due to the challenges it faces and the negative sentiment surrounding Chinese tech stocks. However, its strong position in search, its leadership in AI and autonomous driving, and its potentially undervalued stock price offer a compelling case for contrarian investors. As always, thorough research and risk assessment are essential before making any investment decisions.
$bidu smash or crashNASDAQ:BIDU continues to get bought up at this demand zone that has held for 12 years between $85-$73. One of the most beautiful charts Ive seen on an individual name in a long time. Not the most exciting name around but $70 cash per share on hand and a PE of 9 with as solid of a defined R/R as you can find. I think Trump's delistment threats are just fluff and could serve as a great buying oppurtunity if you're into Chinese stocks. Let me know your thoughts
Baidu Wave Analysis – 11 April 2025
- Baidu reversed from support zone
- Likely to rise to resistance level 90.00.
Baidu recently reversed from the support zone between the major long-term support level 78.60 (which has been reversing the price from the end of 2022) and the lower weekly Bollinger Band.
The upward reversal from this support level 78.60 is likely to form the weekly Japanese candlesticks reversal pattern Hammer (strong buy signal for Baidu).
Given the strength of the support level 78.60 and the clear bullish divergence on the weekly Stochastic indicator, Baidu can be expected to rise to the next resistance level 90.00.
Baidu | BIDU | Long at $82.50Baidu NASDAQ:BIDU - the Google of China. This one is being ignored by AI investors, and may be an opportunity. Maybe... nothing is certain (especially with the "risks" of Chinese investments).
P/E = 9x
Debt/Equity = 0.27x
Price/Sales = 1.55x
Price/Book = 0.80x
Price/Cash flow = 7.59x
Thus, at $82.50, NASDAQ:BIDU is in a personal buy zone.

$150.00
Baidu: Possible move as per previous chart patternNASDAQ:BIDU
Hello,
Just a guess work.
I see similar pattern played out few years ago, I guess it can follow the same pattern, may be the magnitude is different.
Please exercise caution while trading these stocks as they can stay flat for years.
Happy trading

Key levels:
-Support: 94.26 | 77.24
-Resistance: 107.61 | 116.99 | 156.75
Fundamental Analysis
-AI Leadership: Baidu continues expanding in AI, cloud computing, and autonomous driving.

BbThis analysis focuses on a combination of trendlines, RSI, and MACD to identify potential trading opportunities.
• Trendlines: Key support and resistance levels drawn to highlight the market structure and price action.
• RSI (Relative Strength Index): Used to identify overbought and oversold conditions, signaling potential reversals.
• MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): Helps confirm trend strength and possible momentum shifts.
Baidu Heading Up and Up. BIDUTriple Drive/ABCDE B Wave of a zigzag....maybe. This is a bet on a E Wave yet to form. If fractal rules are obeyed, then next move should be a 1.2 of the previous, which aligns in a very nice Fibonacci cluster at 0.786/1.272. Naturally, the indicators below have just turned to bullish as well almost in unison.
BIDU: MAs coiling tightly + Double bottomI really like BIDU stock here, so I entered more than my usual size.
What I like about this setup
- MAs coiling super tightly across all timeframes. 10, 20, 50, 100, 200. Tight MAs represent volatility contraction and this often leads to volatility expansion, i.e. large price movements. All the MAs are now within 5% range. When the MAs crossover, its like this combo nuclear reaction igniting one another, propelling the stock upwards. And its possible you get a sustained one.
- 10 and 20 MA are already above 50MA. short term, we are up. And now I'm waiting for the next nuclear reaction to happen.
- We have attempted to break above this 94.5 key resistance for many times now. If we do, easily 113 as price target.
- Double bottom formation. Yes, its not a double bottom yet since it hasn't break above the neckline. But that false breakdown earlier gave me extra confidence that we have bottomed.
- Fibo retracement at 50% line now. Good support. (did not draw it in, else it becomes cluttered)
- Tailwind from China internet sector.
When will I stop loss
- Break below previous low at 96.8 and stay below 50MA for 5 days.
Others
- I note that Im front-running this a little. If it goes to 92.5 above the flag, and 200sma, it would be better confirmation. But I entered with options, so I wanted a better price before the pump actually happens.
Short BIDU
Taking a small short on BIDU using PUTS
BIDU 250321P90 @ $5.65
The whole Chinese stocks have been on a tear and felt quite overdone.. it's clearer if you see stocks like BABA.. If the broader market falls, I reckon we should see at least a small pullback here?
I was thinking of either shorting JD or BIDU. just choosing the weaker between these two..

Not financial advice
BIDU is testing the border of the rangeDespite the strong driving narrative, BIDU had displayed less prominent growth than BABA, and had reached the upper border of Bollinger bands indicator with a parameter of 50. This usually might indicate an excess, and lead to a mean-reversion move back to the middle of the range.
Conversely, it might be a decent point for a breakout if the positive sentiment for Chinese stocks will prevail, but this is a less dominant scenario.
Don't forget - this is just the idea, always do your own research and never forget to manage your risk!
BIDU Poised For Another Bullish WaveBIDU Poised For Another Bullish Wave
From our previous analysis, BIDU tested 80 and later bounced aggressively near to 116.
However, the price moved back down to 80.
BIDU is profitable but also very risky, considering its price volatility as it moves up and down.
I think it's better to consider Call Options to manage the losses.
BIDU has the potential to rise again as it did before, with possible targets at 94.50, 103, and 112.
This is the same analysis as another one that I posted some time ago related to the data because BIDU is still perfectly respecting the same picture.
You may find more details in the chart!
Thank you and Good Luck!

Baidu Wave Analysis 28 January 2025
- Baidu continues weekly upward correction
- Likely to rise to resistance level 95.00
Baidu continues to rise strongly inside the upward correction which started earlier from the major multi-year support level 80.00 (which has been reversing the price from 2022).
The upward reversal from the support level 80.00 created the weekly Japanese candlesticks reversal pattern Bullish Engulfing.
Baidu can be expected to rise further to the next resistance level 95.00 (which stopped the previous weekly correction 2 at the end of last year).
