Baidu stock drops before the bell after earnings show ads still weak despite AI cloud gains

NEW YORK, Feb 26, 2026, 05:41 — Premarket Baidu shares trading in the U.S. dropped almost 3% before the bell Thursday. The Chinese search giant reported December-quarter revenue down 4%, as AI cloud gains weren’t enough to offset sluggish ad sales. Revenue reached 32.74 billion yuan, just ahead of the 32.62 billion yuan analysts had penciled in. Earnings per ADS hit 10.62 yuan, topping the 9.25 yuan LSEG consensus. The ad division remains under pressure, hampered by soft consumer sentiment and China’s drawn-out property slump, which continue to sap ad budgets.
