BAIDU.COM

JP Morgan cut its third-quarter revenue estimate on Baidu.com (BIDU) on Oct. 11.

Analyst Dick Wei tells salesforce he's cutting Baidu's third-quarter revenue estimate to about $65.7 million from $67.9 million, as his latest checks suggest an in-line quarter. Wei believes the recent shutdown of some smaller websites in China and the Shenzhen distribution transition (to direct sales) will lead to slower growth in the second half of 2007, but will be positive in the long term. He notes, as of the Oct. 10 close, Baidu's share price had risen about 20% since Oct. 1. Believes any share price pull-backs on the back of these short-term issues offer an excellent buying opportunity for the leading Chinese search engine.

The analyst maintains his overweight rating, $400 target price, and third quarter GAAP EPS estimate of 62 cents.
