Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIDU) on Tuesday reported a modest increase in adjusted earnings for the second quarter of 2022, despite a decline in revenues. Both operating segments contracted during the quarter, mainly due to the resurgence of COVID cases in certain cities in China.
Revenues of the China-based technology company decreased 5% annually to RMB29.6 billion ($4.43 billion) in the June quarter. The Baidu app had 628 million monthly active users at the end of the quarter, which is up 8% year-over-year.
