Baidu.com, Inc. (ADR) (BIDU) Earnings Could Send Its Stock Soaring

Page 2 of 2

To respond, Baidu.com, Inc. (ADR) (NASDAQ:BIDU) has been working hard to get into the mobile space. Last week, the company announced a $1.9 billion bid for mobile-app marketplace company 91 Wireless. With 10 billion app downloads, 91 Wireless should help Baidu address the concerns that its desktop dominance hasn’t translated to the mobile side of the business as much as investors would like.

In the Baidu.com, Inc. (ADR) (NASDAQ:BIDU) earnings report, watch to see if the company can defy some analyst forecasts of much narrower profit margins resulting from Qihoo competition. The stock price shows that investors think Baidu can still win big if it can demonstrate its ability to grow despite the competitive threat, but the search giant will have a bigger fight on its hands than it has had to deal with in the past.
