Chinese Stocks Due for a Big Rebound: Baidu (BIDU)

The Fundamentals: Chinese internet search giant Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) is, for all intents and purposes, the Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) of China. This positioning guarantees Baidu healthy long-term growth potential so long as internet usage and digital advertising in China accelerate higher, two things, which seem certain at this point in time.

Moreover, Baidu has high-growth potential through its cloud, IoT and AI businesses, the sum of which are still in the early stages of potentially explosive growth trajectories.

The Valuation: BIDU stock is pretty cheap at under 20X forward earnings for what was 27% revenue growth last quarter. /

Falling margins are behind the low valuation. But, this is a near-term phenomena. Huge losses at iQiyi (NASDAQ:IQ) and big investments into the app ecosystem are dragging on margins. Eventually, those margin headwinds will fade out. Once they do, today’s valuation will seem anemic.

The Technicals: Much like other Chinese stocks, BIDU has been on a big downtrend for the past several months. But, this stock has shown strong support multiple times around the $180 level.

Today, the stock is comfortably above that level, implying that a bottom has been put in and that this stock is ready to start heading higher again.

Baidu: Earnings To Remain Strong

Feb. 3, 2019

Summary
Even accounting for slower earnings growth, Baidu's earnings multiple of 13 looks dirt cheap.
Gross margins, although dropping, remain over 50%.
Rising costs and R&D still come in under 70% of gross profit.
Remaining long the stock.

The company already holds 41.2 billion of debt on its balance sheet.

Over the past four quarters, Baidu has paid out 1.7 billion in interest payments on its debt. Operating income over the same time frame came in at just over 19 billion.
