    The ability of government regulators in China to mete out harsh and swift edicts isn't anything new. Search giant Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) came under the gaze of Chinese government regulators in mid-2016, as revised internet advertising laws forced the company to enact stricter standards and cull dubious advertisers from its platforms. It took the company more than a year to resume its upward growth trajectory.

    iQiyi has the advantage of being backed by one of the world's most advanced AI leaders. The company was spun off in March from Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU), China's largest internet search engine and a world leader in AI. Baidu, which retains a roughly 70% stake in its streaming offshoot, is already providing the company with AI and data analytics services, and has plans to continue providing its subsidiary with more support in these fields.

    Penske Automotive Group (NYSE:PAG) was downgraded by analysts at Zacks Investment Research from a buy rating to a hold rating. According to Zacks, “Of late, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for Penske Automotive’s annual earnings has been going down. The company retail automotive segment is driving revenues due to its widened geographic presence, and varied product and service range. It also increases it dividend payouts in almost every quarter and also repurchases shares to boost shareholders’ confidence. Penske Automotive makes frequent acquisitions to expand its presence in the United States and the United Kingdom. It experienced positive revenue growth in all the business segments along with strong improvement in used-vehicle supercenter business. However, rising competition and increasing price transparency can lead to lower selling prices, thus affecting the profits of the company. Also, over a month, shares of Penske Automotive have underperformed the industry it belongs to.”
