Latest earnings / delivery

Q2 reported Aug 18

Total revenue roughly flat as AI Cloud growth offset weak online marketing; core operating margin held up. Apollo Go ride volumes hit new records.

AI roadmap

Ernie model updates, expanding robotaxi fleet, and a potential Kunlunxin (AI chip unit) listing are the key value-unlock catalysts.

Bottom line

Strong Buy · Buy/Sell 70/100 · PT +61%
SELL / AVOIDHOLDATTRACTIVE BUY
A net-cash AI platform at ~11x forward earnings where the market ascribes almost nothing to Apollo Go robotaxis or the Kunlunxin chip unit. With Q2 now behind it and the stock back near $93, the risk/reward is the most compelling large-cap setup in the book. The offsets are the perennial China-ADR discount and a still-soft advertising cycle.
