Season 1
Episode 9
Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
China's big tech names are sliding this week: Baidu down seven percent, NIO off more than eleven percent, even Alibaba dropping. Lucas walks through what's moving these stocks in late May 2026, from yuan weakness touching 6.81 to a broader repricing of growth expectations. Luna pushes back on whether it's just trade-war jitters or something deeper in the earnings cycle. They zero in on Baidu's existential AI problem and what NIO's slide says about Chinese EV demand at home right now. No grand predictions, just a clear-eyed look at what the numbers actually tell us about the second quarter.
