China Everbright Securities (00800) officially included in the Hong Kong Stock Connect, opening up channels for mainland investors to participate.

On June 3, WeRide, a leading global autonomous driving technology company, announced that its Hong Kong-listed shares would officially be included in the Stock Connect list. This adjustment will take effect on June 4. By being included in Stock Connect, qualified mainland investors can buy and sell WeRide's Hong Kong-listed shares through the Stock Connect mechanism on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Stock Connect is one of the mechanisms connecting the mainland and Hong Kong capital markets, with strict market value, liquidity, and compliance thresholds. It currently covers various representative Hong Kong-listed companies such as Tencent, Alibaba, and Xiaomi. By being included in Stock Connect, WeRide's Hong Kong shares are expected to become more accessible to investors, increase market liquidity, expand investor reach, and strengthen connections with mainland capital markets. This is another important milestone for WeRide in the capital markets. In October 2024, WeRide debuted on the NASDAQ, becoming the "first global Robotaxi stock." In November 2025, the company was listed on the HKEX, becoming the "first Hong Kong Robotaxi stock" and the first autonomous driving technology company to achieve dual major listings on US and Hong Kong stock exchanges. From the US to Hong Kong and now being included in Stock Connect, WeRide is steadily building a diversified and increasingly perfect capital market layout to support the efficient expansion of its global business and long-term value creation. Behind these capital market developments is WeRide's expanding global commercial base. According to the company's latest financial report for the first quarter of 2026, WeRide's total revenue in the first quarter reached 114 million RMB, a 58% year-over-year increase. Currently, WeRide's products have autonomous driving licenses in 8 countries, with operations in over 40 cities across 12 countries worldwide. The global autonomous driving fleet includes about 2,800 vehicles, with approximately 1,300 Robotaxis, and plans to deploy 200,000 Robotaxis and other autonomous driving vehicles in the next five years. In its core Robotaxi business, WeRide has achieved full unmanned commercial operations in Guangzhou, Beijing, Abu Dhabi, and Dubai. It has launched Robotaxi public services in Singapore and Riyadh, and entered markets in Madrid, Zurich, Bratislava, and other European cities. WeRide will introduce Spain's first Robotaxi services in Madrid, expected to officially launch this year, making Madrid the company's 12th city of Robotaxi operation. According to the plan, the company aims to deploy 2,600 Robotaxis globally by the end of 2026 and tens of thousands of Robotaxis by 2030. The foundation supporting the global commercial deployment is WeRide's continuously evolving autonomous driving technology system. The company's self-developed world model WeRide GENESIS integrates generative AI and physical AI to enhance the deployment efficiency and generalization ability of autonomous driving systems in various countries, cities, and road environments, adapting to different levels of vehicle autonomy from L2++ assisted driving to L4 driverless vehicles. In the L2++ segment, WeRide's one-stop end-to-end ADAS solution WRD 3.0 achieved an unprecedented five consecutive victories in the China Smart Driving Challenge and obtained designated points of nearly 30 vehicle models from OEMs such as GAC and Chery. In the future, WeRide will continue to be driven by technology, accelerate the global commercialization layout of its autonomous driving business in multiple scenarios such as Robotaxi, and create long-term value for global shareholders and markets through continued expansion of operational scale and resilient business performance.
