Morgan Stanley lowered WeRide Inc. (NASDAQ:WRD) stock price target from $23 to $13 due to high volatility in the Chinese robotaxi market. Q1 2025 revenue increase was only 1.8%, signaling slower growth. Competition in autonomous driving market is rising, especially from aggressive OEMs entering Robotaxi business.
WeRide Inc. (NASDAQ:WRD) is expanding globally, partnering with Uber for $100 million equity investment and launching driverless Robotaxi testing in Abu Dhabi. Services are now available in three Chinese cities and expanding to European countries like Switzerland, Spain, and France.
