BIDU is trading at $138.37 (-5.09%) following a Strong Sell downgrade from Zacks Investment Research due to significant downward earnings estimate revisions.
- The decline is compounded by a broader market sell-off after hotter-than-expected inflation data (3.8% CPI) led investors to scale back Federal Reserve rate-cut expectations.
- Tech stocks are facing additional pressure from escalating Middle East geopolitical tensions and a 1.59% drop in the Nasdaq Composite.
