+ -

Baidu does not currently offer dividends to shareholders. This means that investors who purchase their shares do not receive any payments from the company's profits. However, the stock has appreciated substantially since its IPO in 2005, so it may still be a good investment for those looking to generate returns from capital appreciation. There is also potential upside as Baidu continues to expand its business in the Chinese market and beyond. Ultimately, Baidu is an interesting investment opportunity for individuals who are willing to take on more risk but potentially benefit from greater rewards.
