Shanghai Stock Exchange notice on the inclusion of WeRide under the Hong Kong Stock Connect eligible securities list

Hong Kong Stock Connect is a mutual market access channel linking the mainland China and Hong Kong capital markets, with stringent eligibility requirements covering market capitalization, liquidity, and regulatory compliance. The program includes many leading Hong Kong-listed companies such as Tencent, Alibaba, and Xiaomi, and enables eligible mainland China investors to trade eligible Hong Kong-listed stocks through their domestic securities accounts. WeRide’s inclusion is expected to enhance the accessibility and liquidity of its Hong Kong-listed shares, strengthen its investor base, and deepen its connectivity with mainland China capital markets.

The development marks another major milestone in WeRide’s capital markets journey. WeRide was listed on Nasdaq in October 2024 as the world’s first publicly listed Robotaxi company, and was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in November 2025 as Hong Kong's first Robotaxi company. It also became the world’s first autonomous driving technology company to achieve a dual primary listing in both the U.S. and Hong Kong. With its inclusion in the Hong Kong Stock Connect program, WeRide continues to build a diversified capital markets platform to support global expansion and long-term value creation.

The milestone comes as WeRide continues to scale its commercial operations worldwide. According to the company’s financial results in the first quarter of 2026, WeRide reported total revenue of US$16.5 million, up 58% year-on-year, reflecting strong, steady growth.

Today, WeRide's vehicles hold autonomous driving permits across eight countries, with deployments in more than 40 cities in 12 countries. Its global autonomous driving fleet totals approximately 2,800 vehicles, including around 1,300 Robotaxis. Over the next five years, WeRide plans to deploy 200,000 Robotaxis and other autonomous driving vehicles globally.
