BIDU Earnings: Baidu Revenue Misses as Ad Weakness Overshadows Cloud Gains

Baidu just dropped another earnings bomb—and Wall Street's not loving the math.
Ad Revenue Drags
Advertising continues to be the Achilles' heel. While the cloud division flexes its muscles, it's not enough to offset the ad slump. Numbers don't lie—even if earnings reports sometimes try to.
Cloud Can't Compensate
The cloud segment shows promise, but let's be real: it's playing catch-up in a brutal market. Growth there isn't translating to the bottom line fast enough to please the suits holding the purse strings.
Another quarter where potential meets reality—and reality brought a downgrade. Guess those AI moonshots aren't paying the bills yet. Typical tech playbook: promise disruption, deliver disappointment.
