November 18, 2009 8:44 AM EST

Goldman Sachs removed Baidu.com (Nasdaq: BIDU) from its Conviction Buy List, citing recent price performance. The firm maintained their Buy rating and raised their 6-month price target from $435 to $500, which represents 13% potential upside.

The firm notes Baidu stock has risen 274% since they added it to the Conviction Buy List on December 15, 2008, versus the S&P 500 up 28%, and 229% over the last 12 months, versus the S&P 500 up 31%.

The firm is still positive on the Baidu citing "better China advertising trends, US and China internet peer re-rating, and our belief that paid leads and revenue per click can both double over several years, while customer adds can accelerate toward Alibaba.com's levels."

The firm's $500 price target is still the "street high."
