Bernstein: Meta likely to surpass Google Search in ad revenue this year

Research firm Bernstein expects Meta Platforms to overtake Google Search this year as the largest single platform for advertising spend. The driver is advances in artificial intelligence, which particularly benefit Meta in targeting and automation.

Macquarie raises Baidu price target to $176, cites AI pivot and hidden value

Macquarie upgraded Baidu to Outperform from Neutral and lifted its price target to $176 from $91, saying the market underestimates value from the company’s shift away from slowing search and advertising. The firm highlights AI cloud services, robotaxis and the in‑house Kunlun AI chip as new growth drivers, estimating Kunlun could represent about one‑third of Baidu’s valuation as shipments increase.
