Mainland Chinese investors gained direct access to Baidu’s Class A ordinary shares as of September 7, 2026, following the company’s formal inclusion in both the Shenzhen-Hong Kong and Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect programs.

The company expects the move to improve share liquidity and deepen its presence within the domestic Chinese financial market, marking a shift in how Mainland capital can interact with the Beijing-based technology firm.
