WeRide Inc.'s stock experienced a significant intraday surge of 5.04% on Monday, reflecting strong positive investor sentiment.
The sharp increase is primarily attributed to the company's release of robust fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 financial results. WeRide reported a 123% year-over-year jump in Q4 revenue to RMB 314 million, significantly surpassing analyst estimates. For the full year, revenue grew 89.6% to a record RMB 684.6 million, driven by the scaling of its robotaxi, robobus, and robovan products. The company also announced a narrowing of its net loss.
Further bolstering investor confidence was the board's approval of a new share repurchase program authorizing the buyback of up to $100 million worth of Class A shares over the next 12 months. Concurrently, the company announced a major strategic expansion through a national-level partnership to launch Slovakia's first autonomous driving project, marking its entry into a fourth European market.
