Investors have filed a securities class action against Baidu covering purchases from Nov. 18, 2025, through Aug. 17, 2026, alleging the company overstated how well its AI business could offset declining legacy online advertising revenue and made misleading statements about its prospects. The complaints point to revenue declines and a slowdown in AI-business growth, including Baidu’s second-quarter 2026 results, as evidence that the company’s outlook was weaker than represented. Baidu ADSs fell 5.65% after its February 2026 results and 12.73% after its August 2026 results. Investors seeking appointment as lead plaintiff must ask the court by Nov. 13, 2026; investors do not need to serve as lead plaintiff to participate in any potential recovery.

ASIC has launched civil proceedings against Commonwealth Bank, alleging misleading CommBiz terms led to about 42,000 business customers being overcharged roughly $8.5 million in undisclosed payment fees from 2020 to 2025, with the practice allegedly dating to the platform’s 2006 launch. CBA says it identified the issue, cooperated with the regulator and completed customer remediation costing more than $26 million, while disputing aspects of ASIC’s allegations.
