BIDU-SW (09888.HK)'s 1FQ24 non-GAAP earnings beat market consensus by 20%, mainly due to the Company's better-than-expected core gross margin and non-operating income from foreign exchange and equity investments, Daiwa issued a research report saying.

Daiwa forecasted BIDU-SW's growth trajectory to remain lackluster for the rest of the year, and expected the Company's core marketing revenue growth to lag behind China's GDP growth. The relevant forecast is based on uncertainties in the macroeconomic environment, and the impact of demonetization of the Company's AI search queries service.
