LLC and includes filing metadata dated 04/01/2026.
Baidu, Inc. director Xu Ran filed an initial ownership report showing equity holdings in the company. The filing lists 28,728 restricted shares tied to Class A ordinary shares, with an exercise price of 0.0000 per share, and 23,112 Class A ordinary shares held directly.
According to the notes, the restricted shares were granted on February 6, 2026 and vest annually in four equal installments over a 2-year period, beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued service.

Baidu, Inc. has filed a Form 6-K as a foreign private issuer, primarily to furnish its Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2025 as Exhibit 99.1. This annual report was prepared under the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and is being made available to U.S. investors through this submission.
The report is signed on behalf of Baidu by Chief Financial Officer Haijian He, reflecting management’s authorization of the furnished information. The filing indicates that Baidu files its annual reports under cover of Form 20-F, and uses this Form 6-K to keep U.S. markets aligned with disclosures provided in its Hong Kong listing.
Baidu, Inc. files its Form 20‑F for 2025, highlighting slower growth, heavy China exposure and a major shift toward AI. Revenue was RMB129,079 million in 2025, down from 2024 and 2023, and a RMB16,190 million impairment pushed operating results to a loss.
Despite this, net income attributable to Baidu reached RMB5,589 million in 2025, helped by other income. Cash flow from operations turned negative at RMB3,013 million. The report stresses structural risks from its variable interest entity (VIE) structure, evolving PRC regulation, HFCAA-related U.S. listing risk, and large, uncertain investments in generative AI, cloud and other new businesses, including the YY Live acquisition for about US$2.1 billion.
Baidu, Inc. reported that independent director James Ding has resigned from its board, effective March 17, 2026. He is also stepping down from the audit committee, corporate governance and nominating committee, and as chairman of the compensation committee, due to a change in his personal work arrangement.
The company stated that his resignation does not result from any dispute or disagreement with Baidu. Following his departure, Baidu will adjust the audit, compensation, and corporate governance and nominating committees so that each continues to have two independent directors and complies with applicable corporate governance requirements.
Baidu reported fourth quarter and full-year 2025 results showing fast AI growth alongside legacy headwinds. Q4 2025 revenue was RMB32.7 billion ($4.68 billion), up 5% quarter over quarter, helped by Baidu Core AI-powered Business, whose Q4 revenue exceeded RMB11 billion and represented 43% of Baidu General Business revenue.
For 2025, total revenue was RMB129.1 billion ($18.46 billion), down 3% year over year as Legacy Business declined, while Baidu Core AI-powered Business grew 48% to RMB40.0 billion. A RMB16.2 billion impairment of long-lived assets drove a RMB5.8 billion operating loss, though excluding this, operating income was RMB10.4 billion. Non-GAAP net income attributable to Baidu was RMB18.9 billion ($2.71 billion) with a 15% non-GAAP net margin, and total cash and investments reached RMB294.1 billion ($42.06 billion) at year-end. Management highlighted progress on spinning off and listing Kunlunxin and announced a new share repurchase program of up to US$5 billion plus Baidu’s first-ever dividend policy, with the first payment potentially by year-end 2026.
Baidu, Inc. has approved a new share repurchase program of up to US$5 billion, running through December 31, 2028, aiming to enhance shareholder returns. The Board plans to execute repurchases regularly and in a disciplined, transparent manner via open-market and other permitted transactions.
Alongside the buyback, Baidu’s Board has adopted, for the first time, a dividend policy for its ordinary shares, allowing for regular and/or special dividends. Future dividends are expected to be funded mainly from operating profits, with possible support from non-core asset disposals and other investment returns.
The Board expects to declare the first dividend payment in 2026, with the declaration, timing, and amount of any dividend decided at its discretion based on financial performance, capital needs, market conditions, and other relevant factors.

Baidu, Inc. has submitted a report indicating that it plans a proposed spin-off and separate listing of its subsidiary Kunlunxin.
