WeRide ($WRD) reportedly hired Morgan Stanley and CICC for a dual primary listing in Hong Kong. The Guangzhou based AV firm, listed on Nasdaq since Oct 2024, quietly filed for approval with both Beijing and HK regulators. Hong Kong investors have been more bullish on AI and autonomous driving.

Once listed, WeRide is set to become the first L4 autonomous driving stock in Hong Kong, a market that currently has no true independent AV player. That positioning alone could make WRD one of the most watched tech listings in the region.
