Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU) and Tencent (OTC: TCEHY) are two of the biggest tech companies in China. Baidu owns the country's largest search engine, and Tencent owns WeChat, its top messaging platform. Tencent is also the world's largest video game publisher, and China's second-largest cloud company after Alibaba (NYSE: BABA).
Over the past three years, Baidu's stock tumbled about 40% as Tencent's rallied more than 70%. Baidu struggled with sluggish ad sales and tougher competition, while Tencent's core gaming, social, fintech, and cloud businesses continued growing. But will Tencent continue to outperform Baidu over the next few years?
