CHINA’S Baidu beat analysts’ estimates for first-quarter revenue on Thursday (May 16), driven by a recovery in advertising sales and higher demand for its cloud products.

US-listed shares of the company rose about 3 per cent in premarket trade.

Revenue from Baidu Core, which includes its search-based ad sales, cloud offerings and autonomous driving initiatives, grew 4 per cent to 23.8 billion yuan.

Meanwhile, revenue at its streaming service iQIYI fell 5 per cent to 7.9 billion yuan. REUTERS
