WeRide Inc.'s stock surged 5.18% intraday, marking a significant upward movement for the intelligent driving technology company.

The rally in WeRide's shares was part of a broader sector upswing, fueled by Tesla's announcement regarding the latest deployment of its Supervised Full Self-Driving (FSD) system and its explicit mention of availability for use in China. This development has generated positive sentiment across the intelligent driving industry, benefiting related stocks.

Additionally, investor confidence was bolstered by WeRide's own strong operational metrics. The company recently reported unaudited first-quarter 2026 results showing a 57.6% year-on-year increase in total revenue and a 55.9% rise in gross profit. The company also highlighted the expansion of its global autonomous ride-hailing fleet to approximately 1,300 units and the successful launch of commercial operations in new international markets including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Singapore.
