Analysis · WRD · Technology
WeRide's first-half results show strong top-line momentum with revenue up 73.3% to RMB345.9 million and overseas revenue up 154.4%, while gross margin improved to 36.6%. However, the company still lost RMB789.8 million and its cash pile fell 24.3% to RMB5.4 billion, with gearing rising to 18%. The company continues to burn cash on R&D and expansion, but the narrowing EBITDA loss and improving unit economics in robotaxi operations suggest the commercialization strategy is gaining traction.
