Baidu Q2 profit reportedly falls 68% as AI revenue changes its mix
A commentary from the WeChat account 介心介个心 reports that Baidu's Q2 2026 revenue was RMB 31.3 billion, down 4% year over year, while attributable net profit was RMB 2.319 billion, down 68.33%. It says Baidu's US-listed shares fell 12.73% after the results were released. The article also reports that in Q1, revenue reached RMB 32.1 billion, down 1%, net profit was RMB 3.445 billion, and AI-related revenue exceeded 50% of total revenue for the first time, surpassing advertising. The author argues that lower-margin AI cloud revenue is replacing higher-margin advertising revenue, but notes that a third-party breakdown estimated Q2 AI cloud revenue rose by about RMB 2.4 billion while online advertising revenue fell by about RMB 3.1 billion.
The reported combination of AI revenue becoming the majority of sales and a sharp profit decline highlights a change in Baidu's revenue mix and profitability. The 12.73% share-price fall shows the scale of the market reaction.
