Baidu reported Q1 earnings with adjusted EPS of $1.67, surpassing analyst estimates of $1.60, and revenue of $4.7 billion, slightly above expectations despite a 2% year-on-year decline. The company's AI cloud infrastructure revenue surged 79% to $1.3 billion, compensating for a 22% drop in its traditional online advertising business amid a weak Chinese economy.
