Rhea AI BIDU FY2025

Baidu’s 2025 profile shifted from cash-generative operations to accounting profit supported by below-operating items and heavier reinvestment.

With revenue broadly flat, gross margin fell to 43.9% from 50.4%, pointing to mix or cost pressure rather than a volume-led change. Operating cash flow turned negative at -$431M while net income stayed positive at $799M, so reported earnings and cash economics diverged sharply.

Total assets rose to $64.2B as goodwill reached $5.3B, making the asset increase less clearly tied to operating capacity. Operating profitability reversed to -4.5%, despite revenue remaining near prior-year levels.

The liquidity cushion narrowed: the current ratio fell to 1.8x from 3.0x in FY2023, reducing working-capital flexibility. Debt-to-equity remained low at 0.2x, so the deterioration was more about near-term liquidity and operating cash generation than debt burden; free cash flow was -$2.2B against $1.7B of capital expenditures.

Leverage

Liquidity

Piotroski F-Score Partial
1/8

Earnings Quality No Cash Backing

For every $1 of reported earnings, Baidu Inc used $0.54 of operating cash (-$431.0M OCF vs $799.0M net income). Earnings that no cash stands behind rest on accounting accruals, which cannot be repeated indefinitely.

Interest Coverage At Risk
N/A

Baidu Inc reported an operating loss of $833.0M against $398.0M in interest expense. There is no operating profit to cover interest, so interest must be met from cash reserves or from financing rather than from operations.
