Baidu, Inc. (BIDU) announced that its Class A ordinary shares became eligible for trading through the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect on 7 September 2026. The Shenzhen Stock Exchange confirmed the inclusion in its official list of eligible Hong Kong stocks on the same day.
The eligibility expansion follows BIDU’s earlier admission to the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect on 4 September 2026, giving mainland investors access to the shares via both northbound trading links. Management expects dual-connect inclusion to widen the mainland investor base and improve share liquidity.
BIDU’s capital structure features weighted voting rights, with each Class A share carrying one vote and each Class B share carrying ten votes. The company’s American depositary shares, representing eight Class A shares, continue to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker BIDU.
The board, led by Chairman and CEO Robin Yanhong Li, reiterated its commitment to long-term strategy execution and sustainable growth. Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the company’s securities.
