On September 17, 2026, multiple law firms, including the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith, DJS Law Group, and The Portnoy Law Firm, reminded investors of an upcoming November 13, 2026, deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in a class-action lawsuit against Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU). The lawsuit alleges the company made false and misleading statements to the market, claiming it was incapable of replacing revenue lost by its legacy advertising business with new revenue in its AI business, despite statements to the contrary. This action covers investors who purchased Baidu securities between November 18, 2025, and August 17, 2026. Earlier on September 17, Shen Dou, Executive Vice President of Baidu Group and President of Baidu Intelligent Cloud Business Unit, delivered a keynote speech at the 2026 Intelligent Economy Forum in Beijing. He proposed the "Industrial Intelligent Entity Operating System" concept, noting large models are at a critical turning point, moving from technological breakthroughs to economic forces and that industrial AI is breaking through the last mile of large model monetization. Previously, Baidu founder Robin Li stated the company's confidence in Hong Kong's development and plans to submit an application for the commercial operation of its autonomous vehicle project, following Hong Kong's 2026 Policy Address and its first Five-Year Plan to accelerate autonomous driving development for commercial operations.
