- Wednesday, December 26, 2012, 10:25 AM Baidu (BIDU) is the latest company to build a Siri clone: the Chinese search giant has developed a voice assistant app it will offer on Google Play. A Baidu product manager says he thinks the cloud-based app's ability to leverage Baidu's giant search database will give it in a edge. Baidu has been busy growing its mobile footprint through a mixture of search investments, cloud services, and an Android-based OS, but monetization remains a challenge. Comment! [Tech]
- Monday, December 24, 2012, 12:33 PM Sina (SINA -2.1%), Baidu (BIDU -1.8%), Sohu (SOHU -2.3%), Youku (YOKU -2.4%), and Renren (RENN -1.5%) slump following news a People's Congress committee will decide this week on a law requiring Internet users to register their real names to have Web access. Sina was required earlier this year to implement real-name registration for Weibo, but has admitted it isn't yet able to verify the identities of all posters. The state-run People's Daily has been publishing editorials calling for greater Web regulation. 1 Comment [Tech, On the Move]
- Friday, December 21, 2012, 5:07 PM Qihoo (QIHU) appears to be on the verge of selling ads for its suddenly-popular search engine, and thereby becoming a rival for search ad dollars that currently go to Baidu (BIDU) and Sohu (SOHU). A Chinese online ad agency notes Qihoo's search ad service will launch on Jan. 1. After entering the market in August, Qihoo has quickly managed to grab a ~10% share of Chinese search traffic. it has also launched complementary music and mapping services. 1 Comment [Tech]
- Thursday, December 6, 2012, 6:50 PM Baidu (BIDU) is partnering with Lenovo, now China's #2 smartphone vendor (per IDC), to offer the LePhone A586, a $158 device running on Baidu's Android-based OS. The A586 sports a 4.5" display and dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, and supports Baidu's cloud services. It's the kind of product Baidu needs to see more of as it works to improve its mobile search share and ad sales, and is also the kind that has fueled Android's Chinese share gains - the 16GB iPhone 5 sells for over 4x as much unlocked. (other partnerships) 11 Comments [Tech]
- Tuesday, December 4, 2012, 11:25 AM Some stats from Mary Meeker's 2012 Internet trends report: 1) China now has 538M Internet users (+10% Y/Y), though penetration is still only at 40%. It also has 270M smartphone subs; penetration (as a % of mobile subs) stands at 24%. 2) Globally, there are 1B smartphone subs, compared with 5B mobile subs. 3) Mobile data now makes up 13% of total Internet traffic. 3) Total mobile app/ad revenue is expected to hit $19B in 2013, up from $15B in 2012. 4) About 1.5B Wi-Fi devices and 2B Bluetooth devices will ship in 2012. Comment! [Tech]
- Tuesday, December 4, 2012, 10:24 AM Some marquee Chinese Internet stocks are slumping, potentially on worries about the SEC's suits against the Chinese arms of the Big-4 U.S. accounting firms. Baidu (BIDU -5.1%), Sina (SINA -6.6%), Youku Tudou (YOKU -4.2%), Sohu (SOHU -3%), Perfect World (PWRD -1.2%), and NetEase (NTES -4%) are among the losers. Renren (RENN +2.5%) is higher following yesterday afternoon's Deutsche upgrade. 2 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
- Tuesday, December 4, 2012, 2:22 AM Yesterday's SEC suit against the Chinese units of the Big Four accounting firms could mark the beginning of the end for U.S.-listed China shares, even giants like Sina (SINA) and Baidu (BIDU). The accounting firms face a Catch-22: The U.S. requires them to share information from their audits in foreign countries, while China bars them from doing so. 4 Comments [Global & FX]
- Thursday, November 29, 2012, 2:57 PM Qihoo (QIHU +5.1%) is posting a decent gain after launching a music search engine to complement its Web search engine, thereby bolstering its efforts to compete with Baidu (BIDU). There's a good chance Qihoo's product will end up displacing the music engine provided by Sohu's (SOHU) Sogou unit for Qihoo's hao.360.cn portal. Baidu currently offers China's most popular music engine - it recently drove a rival offering from Google out of the market. (more on Qihoo-Baidu) Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Wednesday, November 21, 2012, 10:08 AM Baidu (BIDU) has priced a $1.5B debt offering - one half consists of 2.25% notes due 2017, and the other half 3.5% notes due 2022. Baidu, which had $366M in long-term debt at the end of Q3, says it will use the proceeds to retire existing debt and for "general corporate purposes." One of those purposes might be Baidu's CNY10B ($1.6B) cloud services facility. Comment! [Tech]
- Tuesday, November 20, 2012, 1:16 PM Chinese mobile browser developer UCWeb, previously the subject of Baidu (BIDU +1.7%) acquisition rumors, now claims 100M Android users. UCWeb's leading share on what's now easily China's most popular smartphone platform represents a challenge to Baidu's mobile monetization efforts. While UCWeb offers Baidu search as an option, it also supports other search engine and collects traffic-acquisition revenue. (previous) (Baidu mobile browser) Comment! [Tech]
- Monday, November 19, 2012, 2:50 PM Baidu (BIDU -0.1%) is offering 30GB of free cloud storage to buyers of Lenovo and Huawei Android phones featuring two of Qualcomm's (QCOM) latest Snapdragon processors. The Chinese search giant is hoping its cloud offerings, supported by a $1.6B investment plan, will help it stand out in a very competitive mobile search market. Qualcomm, depending more than ever on emerging markets, has made growing its Chinese baseband chip share a priority. Comment! [Tech]
- Wednesday, November 14, 2012, 11:28 AM Baidu (BIDU -5.1%) has tumbled to new 52-week lows today, as worries persist about Qihoo's search engine, mobile search share and monetization, and China's growth slowdown - shares have now tread water over the last 2 years, during which time Baidu's multiples have fallen sharply. SA's Efficient Alpha recently observed many of Baidu's multiples and financial metrics now compare favorably with Google's. (yesterday) 1 Comment [Tech, On the Move, Quick Ideas]
- Tuesday, November 13, 2012, 11:11 AM Baidu (BIDU -3.1%) is closing in on its 52-week low after a Taiwanese paper reports CEO Robin Li is experiencing "a growing sense of crisis" over the company's recent challenges (search competition from Qihoo and a shift in traffic towards mobile devices). Also, a Shanghai paper claims Baidu's recent launch of an Android web browser (crucial to Baidu's efforts to gain mobile search share) hasn't met expectations - might that drive Baidu to acquire market leader UCWeb? Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Wednesday, November 7, 2012, 7:11 PM In spite of Qihoo's (QIHU) much-discussed arrival on the Chinese search scene, Baidu (BIDU) still had 73% of the market in October, according to research firm CNZZ. Qihoo's share is pegged at 9.6%, Sohu's (SOHU) Sogou at 7.8%, and Google's (GOOG) a mere 4.7%. Qihoo, which may have been partly responsible for Baidu's soft Q4 guidance, has said it's hoping to eventually take 15%-20% of the market. (more) Comment! [Tech]
- Thursday, November 1, 2012, 12:46 PM Qihoo (QIHU +5.8%) rallies after CEO Zhou Hongyi tells Chinese media his company hopes to take 15%-20% of China's search market - that's well above the 9.2% share Qihoo, which launched its search engine in August, was estimated to have a month ago. Hongyi adds Qihoo has hired ex-Google employees to work on search, and wants to partner with vertical search providers. He also criticizes Baidu (BIDU), which just offered soft guidance, for caring more about ad monetization than the user experience. (more) Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Wednesday, October 31, 2012, 1:42 PM More on Citi's two-notch downgrade of Baidu (BIDU -5.7%): analyst Ravi Sarathy thinks Baidu's P/E, which has already compressed plenty this year, will eventually be in-line with Google's, due to the impact of soft mobile search monetization. He also sees Baidu's margins contracting due to ramping expenses, and notes Q3's Y/Y revenue growth rate was the lowest seen by the company since Q1 2010.
