Baidu shares jumped about 7.5% to HK$141.30, easily outperforming the broader market. The move is being seen as a way to shine a spotlight on one of Baidu&#8217;s most valuable assets, which has largely been buried inside the parent company.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-7hmkaz\">Kunlunxin develops AI chips that power Baidu&#8217;s cloud and artificial intelligence platforms. Reuters has previously reported the unit was preparing for a Hong Kong IPO after a fundraising round that valued it at roughly 21B yuan, or about $3B.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-7hmkaz\">Baidu said the spinoff would help Kunlunxin tap new funding, attract AI-focused investors, and sharpen management incentives. Kunlunxin is expected to remain a subsidiary after the listing, though approvals and timing are still uncertain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
