According to Baidu's (BIDU.US) strategy of “unlocking the AI-powered businesses”, Baidu announced plans to spin off its non-wholly owned subsidiary Kunlunxin and separately list it on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Haitong International said in its report.

Now is the optimal time for the spin-off and separate listing of Kunlunxin, in the broker’s view, as it can ride the wave of IPOs by GPU suppliers such as METAX (688802.SH) and BIREN TECH (06082.HK). METAX and BIREN TECH are now valued at RMB232.1 billion (relative to RMB740 million revenue in 2024) or USD33.2 billion, and HKD822 billion (relative to RMB360 million revenue in 2024) or USD11.8 billion, respectively.
