On May 14, Baidu fell 5.24% in regular trading, trading at $142.53/share, with trading volume of $81.42 million. The stock retreated sharply after surging over 8% in the prior session following its Create2026 AI Developer Conference.
At the conference held May 13-14, CEO Robin Li introduced several new AI concepts including \"Daily Active Agents (DAA)\" as a new industry metric, announced the upgrade of its digital human platform \"Baidu Yijing,\" and declared that \"disposable software\" could expand the software market by 10x. Li emphasized that AI development is transitioning from the model stage to the application stage, with intelligent agents enabling every developer to become a founder and creator.
Despite the bullish conference rhetoric, the stock gave back most of its prior-day gains. CLSA previously maintained an \"Outperform\" rating with a $176 target price, citing AI cloud infrastructure revenue growth exceeding 40% year-over-year, though core marketing revenue was projected to decline over 20% in Q1 due to intensifying AI advertising competition.
