This slowdown is believed to be due to the timing of revenue recognition. The report emphasizes that the computing demand for AI training and inference remains healthy, and predicts that growth will accelerate again to over 60% in the second half of the year, driven by increased spending from existing customers and an expanding customer base. The bank slightly raised its second-half AI cloud infrastructure revenue growth forecast to over 60%, while lowering its second-half core operating profit forecast by 6% to reflect increased R&D spending. The full-year core revenue forecast for Baidu remains largely unchanged, while the full-year non-GAAP net profit forecast is lowered by 27%. The target price is lowered from HK$165 to HK$155, while maintaining a "Buy" rating.
