The stock is down 22.24% over the past year, 24.97% year-to-date.
Let&#8217;s look at what the charts indicate for Baidu stock and how the stock currently maps against Wall Street estimates.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Baidu Stock In Strongly Bearish Trend </h2>
Baidu stock is navigating a strongly bearish trend as its current share price sits below its five, 20 and 50-day exponential moving averages.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/?utm_source=BZprocontent112024&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="628" height="490" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/20105930/Screenshot-2024-11-20-at-9.29.05-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-657204" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/20105930/Screenshot-2024-11-20-at-9.29.05-PM.png 628w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/20105930/Screenshot-2024-11-20-at-9.29.05-PM-300x234.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px" /></a></figure>

Despite this, Baidu is experiencing subtle buying pressure, offering a glimmer of bullish potential.
The stock trades just above its eight-day simple moving average (SMA) of $85.52, signaling a short-term bullish outlook. However, longer-term indicators tell a different story: the 20-day SMA at $88.97, 50-day SMA at $93.81 and 200-day SMA at $96.27 all reflect bearish signals. 
The MACD indicator of a negative 2.51 underscores the downward momentum, while the RSI of 41.65 suggests the stock is approaching oversold territory, hinting at potential support levels ahead.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Baidu Analysts See 23% Upside</h2>
Ratings &amp; Consensus Estimates: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BIDU/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The consensus analyst rating</a> on Baidu stock stands at a Buy currently with a price target of $151.95. Recent analyst ratings from Mizuho, HSBC and Susquehanna suggest a 22.99% upside for Baidu stock, with a $106.67 average price target.
Price Action: Baidu stock was trading at $86.52 per share, up 58%, at last check Wednesday.

Ramsey says those with a healthy financial mindset tend to ask the first question, while others struggling financially often ask the second. He argues that this subtle difference is more important than many realize.&nbsp;

<li>Many are using this retirement income calculator to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on how on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a></li>

<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/cd-valet-growth">CD Popularity Soars: Over 50 Million Americans Embrace Safe Savings with 5–10% Annual Growth</a></li>
</ul>
Ramsey's point hits home, given some eye-opening statistics on American debt and spending habits. According to a recent study by Debt.com, roughly 80% of U.S. workers live paycheck to paycheck, with nearly a quarter unable to save anything month-to-month.&nbsp;
In addition, about 37% of Americans would be unable to cover $400 in emergency expenses. These numbers show the impact of taking on too many high monthly payments without thinking through the long-term consequences, as Ramsey cautions.
As personal debt levels soar, Ramsey's advice on credit cards resonates with many. Experian research shows that one in three Americans has maxed out their credit cards and the average American carries about $104,215 in total debt across mortgages, credit cards and other loans.&nbsp;
Trending: The number of ‘401(k)' Millionaires is up 43% from last year —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/401k-millionaires"> Here are three ways to join the club.</a>
Credit card debt alone has hit record highs, reaching over $1 trillion in the third quarter of 2024. Debt.com also found that 45% of Americans have relied on credit cards for everyday expenses due to inflation, with many unable to pay off their balances fully.&nbsp;
The rise in debt is not just a concern for households but also a boon for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/41024812/trumps-bold-plan-limit-credit-card-interest-rates-to-10-but-could-this-move-lead-to-dangerous-pr">credit card</a> companies. Visa and Mastercard stocks have seen considerable gains, with Visa nearing its 52-week high. These companies are thriving partly due to Americans' increasing dependence on credit.&nbsp;
Ramsey's advice, while straightforward, has its critics. They argue that worrying about the total cost is not always possible. Many people are just trying to make ends meet. For lower-income families, prioritizing immediate cash flow may sometimes be the only option, despite Ramsey's call to "think bigger" financially.

Ramsey suggests a few practical steps for those determined to break free from debt: creating a weekly budget and being strict about need versus want. A small <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40531988/you-dont-need-emergency-savings-says-grant-cardone-claims-that-three-months-of-savings-in-case-o">emergency fund</a>, he adds, can be invaluable in avoiding debt during unexpected expenses.&nbsp;
He also warns against credit card reliance. In a social media post, he wrote, "If you can&#8217;t buy something with cash, don&#8217;t buy it. Debt is debt. It will hurt you, no matter what the interest rate is." Another option is debt consolidation, which may help reduce interest costs and simplify monthly payments.

Rocket Lab USA Options Trading: A Deep Dive into Market Sentiment

Streaming giant Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) could be facing several lawsuits after shattering records from its highly anticipated boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, which saw Paul named the victor <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/11/41985523/paul-vs-tyson-boxing-match-how-to-watch-betting-odds-what-the-stats-say-and-more">via unanimous decision.</a>
What Happened: Netflix had a problem that most streamers would love to have on Friday. The company had so many people trying to watch its live boxing event that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/11/42042640/netflix-crash-hits-jake-paul-mike-tyson-fight-can-streaming-platform-handle-christmas-day-nfl-action">site was crashing</a> for viewers around the world.
While the good problem to have could mean a boost in subscribers for the current fourth quarter and a boost to advertising revenue from its ad-supported customers, Netflix is facing at least one lawsuit over tech hiccups.
A lawsuit has been filed in Florida by Netflix customer Ronald "Blue" Denton, as <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/sports/netflix-subscribers-sue-company-breach-contract-over-poor-quality-mike-tyson-jake-paul-fight">reported </a>by Fox News. The lawsuit alleges "breach of contract" by Netflix and was first reported by <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2024/11/19/netflix-sued-tyson-paul-stream-issues/">TMZ</a>.
Netflix said the fight was watched by more than 108 million viewers globally to become the "most-streamed sporting event ever," while also acknowledging the tech difficulties that some customers had. The event peaked at 65 million concurrent households in the U.S. watching with an estimated 56% of all U.S. TV traffic from 12 a.m. ET to 1 a.m. ET watching the Netflix fight.
"This unprecedented scale created many technical challenges, which the launch team tackled brilliantly by prioritizing stability of the stream for the majority of viewers," Netflix executive Elizabeth Stone said.
Stone said the event was "a huge success," while acknowledging there was room for improvement.
The hashtag #NetflixCrash trended on social media platform X Friday and more than one million people around the world, from 50 countries, reported issues with their stream according to DownDetector. 
TechCrunch&nbsp;<a href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/11/16/jake-paul-vs-mike-tyson-fight-shows-netflix-still-struggles-with-live-events/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said&nbsp;</a>11 p.m. ET was the peak time for issues, and around 530,000 U.S. customers reported issues with their stream.
The class action lawsuit asks for unspecified damages. It will be interesting to see if other subscribers join the fight against Netflix.
Benzinga reached out to Netflix for comment and will update the story accordingly.

Why It's Important: While Netflix faces at least one lawsuit over the live boxing event, the company and others could be on the hook for more depending on any lawyers or subscribers who want to take on larger corporations.
Unlike the last fight Tyson took part in, which was an exhibition, his fight with Paul was sanctioned and sportsbooks took bets on the match.
With huge amounts wagered on the fight and the match ending in a draw that looked at times like Paul wasn't going 100%, there could be potential lawsuits against the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), Netflix, and other parties.
"It wouldn't shock me one bit to see a lawsuit filed on this fight," Sports attorney Dan Lust of Moritt Hock &amp; Hamroff <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/11/19/sports/jake-pauls-curious-comments-after-beating-mike-tyson-create-lawsuit-possibilities-sports-lawyer-reveals-why/">told </a>the New York Post.
Paul's comments after the fight could even make a lawsuit more of a reality with the younger boxer and winner of the match saying he "didn't want to hurt someone that didn't need to be hurt."
Paul admitted to taking his foot off the pedal saying that he "wanted to give the fans a show."
"I could just tell that his age was showing a little bit and I just have so much respect for him and that violence, war thing between us … kind of went away as the rounds went on," Paul added.
Lust, who is also a Law Professor at new York Law School, said the betting lines saw more action on a knockout to be the fight outcome than other outcomes like the ultimate winning bet of a decision.
"Paul taking bows and not fighting to the last minute, the optics are just odd," Lust added.
Lust said he would not be shocked if there was a class action lawsuit concerning the outcome of the fight and Paul not going 100%.
"It's not on me to form one, but I wouldn't be surprised to see one."
Lust said that while lawsuits against sportsbooks don't typically win, the fact that Paul and Tyson wouldn't get paid unless they fought, despite Tyson's later disclosed injuries from earlier in the year, could add to a more likely favorable outcome for bettors suing.
The current class action lawsuit and potential for more suits comes as Netflix has a quick turnaround to make sure its tech can handle huge viewership for live events again next month.
Netflix is set to stream two NFL games on Christmas Day with matchups between the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers and between the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans. The streaming company recently announced that Beyoncé will perform during halftime of the Ravens and Texans game.
The Chiefs have dominated television ratings for NFL games this season, being <a href="https://x.com/NFLMedia/status/1859250489222676973">involved</a> in four of the five most-watched 2024 games. The combination of the Chiefs playing in the first game and a halftime show from Beyoncé could see strong viewership for Netflix live events in the future.
NFLX Price Action: Netflix stock is up 1.05% to $880.46 on Wednesday versus a 52-week trading range of $445.73 to $890.60. Netflix stock is up 87% year-to-date in 2024.
