WeRide Inc. remains a Buy; I remain positive on the profitability upside relating to international expansion and see risks regarding China's suspension of new autonomous vehicle approvals as overblown. WRD's non-China operations achieved a 50% gross profit margin in 2025, or 20 percentage points above the group average, supporting aggressive overseas growth plans. Regulatory headwinds in China are likely temporary; WRD's existing domestic robotaxi fleets are still up and running, and management expects permit issuance to resume within two months.

The mean of analysts' price targets for WeRide Inc. (WRD) points to a 93.7% upside in the stock. While this highly sought-after metric has not proven reasonably effective, strong agreement among analysts in raising earnings estimates does indicate an upside in the stock.
