The Hang Seng TECH Index fell 10% in February, marking the largest monthly decline since January 2024, with a cumulative drop of 23% since its peak in October last year. The main reasons include weak corporate earnings and insufficient buying from mainland investors, leading to a decline in market confidence. Investors are shifting their funds towards chip manufacturers and newly listed AI companies. Mainland investors sold stocks in Hong Kong, totaling HKD 11.4 billion, marking the largest capital outflow since the end of August. Baidu was one of the biggest decliners this month, down 19%

$Baidu(BIDU.US) released Q4 results after the HK close on Feb 26, 2026, and the print was lackluster. That said, with a prolonged pullback already priced in, buybacks and dividends providing a floor, and year-ahead narratives such as Kunlun Chip's IPO and potential Stock Connect inclusion, the market is unlikely to impose a sustained penalty.This quarter the company adopted a new reporting structure, splitting into AI and legacy businesses. The AI segment includes AI infrastructure, AI applications, and AI-native marketing, while most institutions are still modeling estimates under the prior framework...

$Baidu(BIDU.US) (-2.7% pre-mkt): 4Q results generally met/beat expectations although MAUs light (only 2 ests). As usual, no forward guidance included in release. Conf call 7:30am ET. 4Q RESULTS- Revs 32.74B yuan, -4.1% y/y, vs 32.66B yuan est. - Rev from iQIYI (Netflix of China) 6.79B yuan vs 6.76B est.- Adj profit per ADR 10.62 yuan vs. 9.40 yuan est.- Adj Ebitda 4.73B yuan, -32% y/y, vs 4.67B yuan est.- Monthly active users 679M, estimate 703M est (2 ests).COMMENTARY AND CONTEXT- Portfolio of AI Applications continues to scale - Accelerating International Expansion Into New Markets- Confident in ability to create lasting value in AI- Kunlunxin spin-off separate listing is progressing - Apollo Go, Baidu's autonomous ride-hailing service, reported weekly rides of over 300K during the quarter (Waymo 400K per week, TSLA &lt;100 per week). Total rides increased by 200% year over year. As of Feb 2026, cumulative rides provided to the public by Apollo Go exceeded 20 million. Entered the South Korean Market and expanded to several European markets.- Revenue from Baidu Core AI-powered Business exceeded 11B yuan in Q4, accounting for 34% of Baidu revs

BIDU 4Q25 First Take: the company adopted a new reporting framework this quarter, splitting results into AI biz. and other legacy biz.; AI includes AI infra, AI apps, and AI-native marketing. As the Street is still setting estimates under the old framework, Dolphin Research restores the prior disclosure for comparison, focusing on BIDU only and excluding iQIYI. Overall, the Q4 print was underwhelming. It was not a strong quarter. However, given the prolonged correction, buybacks providing support, and narratives such as Kunlun Chip’s IPO and potential Stock Connect inclusion later this year, we do not expect sustained penalties. On the top line, results were broadly in line with BBG consensus; overall ads slightly missed, and legacy ads were still down 26%, with the timing and pace of recovery uncertain. Cloud and other slightly beat, with cloud infra relatively strong. On opex, GAAP OP came in below expectations due to approx. RMB 700 mn in severance and some bad-debt provisions. Ex these items, lower D&amp;A and headcount optimization improved efficiency, driving Adj. OP to a modest beat. Looking at BIDU’s AI biz. in isolation, performance across the three pillars was mixed. Details follow: 1) Cloud Infra (cloud + compute): given last year’s high base (projects clustered in a short window), QoQ is more relevant. Q4 grew 35% QoQ, a decent trend. 2) AI Apps (incl. Baidu Wenku, Baidu Cloud Drive, and digital employees): flat QoQ. The cloud drive likely remained a drag. 3) AI-native marketing (agents and digital humans): edged lower QoQ; given industry trends, competition likely weighed. Watch the call for color on seasonality and other objective factors. $Baidu(BIDU.US) $BIDU-SW(09888.HK)

In today’s pre-mkt summary for Subscribers: Stocks declined amid uncertainty over new 15% global tariffs following the Supreme Court's invalidation of President Trump’s emergency levies, with added pressures from Trump’s Middle East military buildup against Iran and a severe blizzard impacting the NYC area. Gold and silver advanced and #btc stabilized after dipping below $65K. This is a pivotal week featuring Trump’s State of the Union Tuesday and $NVIDIA(NVDA.US) earnings Wednesday. We maintain our view that equities will go to new highs as cooling inflation and decelerating employment growth boost prospects for faster Fed easing, with money markets pricing two cuts by year-end, with the first likely by July. 2026 S&amp;P 500 EPS growth is projected to grow +12% YoY to $310, which implies a forward P/E of 22.3x. This implies a 4.5% earnings yield, a +40bp premium to 10yr yields, aligning with non-recessionary historical norms. On $Tesla(TSLA.US), the narrative of its unique path to generalized unsupervised autonomy has eroded as $Alphabet - C(GOOG.US), $Baidu(BIDU.US), $WeRide(WRD.US), $Pony AI(PONY.US), and $Amazon(AMZN.US) scale to 750K paid unsupervised autonomous rides weekly without safety monitors, while $NVIDIA(NVDA.US)’s decision to open its AI chips/software stack to other OEMs starting 1H 2026 effectively democratizes unsupervised autonomy.

In today’s pre-mkt summary for Subscribers: Stocks rose as sentiment improved after yesterday’s volatile session, with traders awaiting today’s release of minutes from the Jan 27-28 Fed meeting for clues in the Fed’s forward rate path. 10yr Treasury yields rose and precious metals recovered. We continue to expect equities to reach new highs as cooling inflation and slowing employment growth raise the odds of earlier Fed rate cuts, with money markets pricing in two cuts by year-end. We see stocks as neither under- or over-valued: 2026 S&amp;P 500 EPS growth of +12% implies a forward P/E of 22.1x (4.5% earnings yield) and a ~50bp premium to 10-year Treasuries, consistent with historical non-recessionary norms. We remain cautious on $Tesla(TSLA.US) as the bull case for TSLA being the only one to solve for general unsupervised autonomy continues to weaken with $Alphabet - C(GOOG.US), $Baidu(BIDU.US), $WeRide(WRD.US), $Pony AI(PONY.US), and $Amazon(AMZN.US) completing 750K paid unsupervised rides per week, and $NVIDIA(NVDA.US) about to offer its full autonomy stack to OEMs starting 1H 2026, which we believe will democratize unsupervised autonomy.

That's right. Good companies won't be affected much. Most of their business is in China. Happy Chinese New Year.

上週末，趁着國內臨近春節，美國又耍了個&#34;小手段&#34;，其國防部一度宣佈將包括阿里、百度、比亞迪在內的多家公司納入 Chinese Military Companies、即 CMC 清單。導致阿里等受影響的公司股價盤前一度跳水，但隨後美國防部又 “玩鬧式” 地迅速將此公告撤回了，相關公司最後也收回了大多數跌幅。實際上，美國的這種 “小手段” 已用過多次，海豚君在此前的《中概退市：這次 “狼真會來”？別怕，不是末日！》中有過比較詳細的討論，多少有些見怪不怪了。首先，被納入 CMC 清單的直接影響只是 -- 被禁止與美國國防部及其相關方進行合作往來，但不會直接影響美國資金投資於 CMC 清單內的企業，和直接影響民間的生意往來。只有被納入 “升級版” 的 NS-CMIC 清單內的企業才會被直接禁止美國資金對其進行投資，進而對相關公司股價產生實際性影響。但該 “NS-CMIC” 名單自 21 年 12 月後就再無更新。此前，小米和騰訊也曾短暫被納入國 CMC 清單，但隨後經過上述或溝通都被移出了清單，短暫的恐慌性下跌反而給了不錯的入場機會。結合這個小動作的時間節點，和發佈後又立刻撤回的操作，海豚君當前傾向於這更多隻是美國趁着國內喜慶過年時故意 “噁心”、並試探一下中方政府的態度，為特朗普可能在 4 月的訪華談判上一些籌碼。綜上，海豚君目前覺得大概率不會有什麼實質性的影響，但也不能排除之後美國不會又再有拉扯，把撤回的公告再發布出來，保持關注吧。$Alibaba(BABA.US) $Baidu(BIDU.US)
