What this transaction means for investors

Infini Capital closed out its entire stake in Baidu, leaving its fund with just two holdings. The fund sold the company, often called the “Google of China,” amid a considerable gain in the stock price over the last year.

The report did not offer an explanation closed out its Baidu position. However, the financials could have been a factor as an impairment charge of $2.2 billion led to the loss of nearly $1.6 billion during the quarter. Also, an 18% yearly drop in advertising revenue in the third quarter of 2025 likely contributed to the negative sentiment.

Moreover, Infini may have become frustrated with Baidu stock. The tech stock has traded in a range since experiencing a massive sell-off in 2021. Moreover, the fund had 180,360 Baidu shares at the end of 2024. In each quarter of 2025, it had reduced its Baidu position until finally closing it out in Q4.

Additionally, investors should note that Infini sold nine of the fund’s 11 holdings in Q4, including Baidu. Thus, other factors related to the fund itself may have also prompted the fund to close its Baidu position.
