Better Buy: Baidu vs. Alphabet
Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU) is often called the "Google of China" because it owns the country's largest search engine. Like its American counterpart, it also owns a sprawling ecosystem of cloud and media services.
I compared Baidu to Google's parent company Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) last November. I declared Alphabet was a better all-around investment because it was generating stronger ad sales than Baidu, but my prediction clearly missed the mark.
Baidu's stock has rallied nearly 90% since I wrote that article, but Alphabet's stock has advanced just 15%. Let's see why the bulls favored Baidu over Alphabet, and whether or not that trend will continue.
