From Science Project to Solvent: WeRide’s 761% Revenue Surge

Submitted by Jeffrey Neal Johnson. Originally Published: 11/25/2025. 

At a Glance

• WeRide reported exponential growth in its robotaxi revenue, signaling a turning point for commercial autonomous vehicle operations.
• The company has now successfully launched fully driverless commercial operations in Abu Dhabi, paving the way for a highly profitable global expansion strategy.
• A dramatic expansion in gross margins indicates WeRide is transitioning from hardware testing to a scalable, high-value software business model.

For years, the autonomous vehicle (AV) sector was defined by a frustrating narrative of high cash burn and distant promises. Investors watched billions vanish into research and development (R&D) with little revenue to show for it. As November ends, that narrative is beginning to shift.

WeRide (NASDAQ: WRD) shares jumped 14.7% to $8.26 after its third-quarter earnings release. Despite geopolitical headwinds and a 73.8% year-to-date (YTD) decline, WeRide finally gave investors something concrete: real revenue growth and improving margins.

WeRide reported a 761% year-over-year (YOY) jump in robotaxi revenue, which could mark an inflection point for the industry. For the first time, the firm is showing evidence it has moved from R&D mode to commercial viability, and Wall Street took notice.

Total revenue for the quarter reached RMB 171 million (approximately $24 million USD), a 144.3% increase from the same period last year. That growth was driven by two distinct engines:

• Product Revenue: This segment, which includes sales of Robobuses and autonomous sweepers, grew 428% to $11.1 million.
• Service Revenue: Primarily robotaxi fares and data services, this segment grew 66.9% to $12.9 million.

Perhaps the most important data point for long-term investors is gross margin. In the third quarter of 2024, WeRide’s gross margin was a thin 6.5%, typical for a hardware-heavy phase. In this latest report, that figure expanded to 32.9%.

A rising gross margin indicates the company is scaling more efficiently. It suggests a shift away from expensive hardware testing toward higher‑margin software and services — the outcome tech investors want to see because it means growth without runaway costs.

While WeRide is not yet profitable, it is moving in the right direction. Net loss for the quarter narrowed 71% to $43.2 million. Adjusted for non-cash items, the loss was $38.7 million. That reduction is significant because it shows revenue growth is outpacing operating-expense growth.

A Blueprint for Profit: The Abu Dhabi Model

WeRide’s revenue jump was not accidental — it is the result of a strategic pivot. While the United States has effectively restricted some Chinese autonomous-vehicle technology, WeRide found a lucrative market in the Middle East.

In October 2025, WeRide secured the world’s first city-level fully driverless robotaxi permit outside the U.S. in Abu Dhabi, a transformative agreement. The permit allows the company to remove the safety driver from the front seat — the single biggest expense in the robotaxi business model.

Partnering with Uber (NYSE: UBER), WeRide sells the vehicles and provides the autonomous technology while Uber handles customer acquisition. This structure delivers upfront product revenue and recurring service revenue — without the need to operate a consumer-facing fleet.

CEO Tony Han said a robotaxi breaks even at roughly 12 trips per day. The company’s utilization target is 25 trips per day with 24/7 service, which would make each vehicle a standalone profit generator.

Cash Is King: A Billion-Dollar War Chest

Autonomous driving is capital intensive, and critics often point to high cash burn as a reason to avoid the sector. WeRide’s latest report offers a strong rebuttal to liquidity concerns.

As of Sept. 30, 2025, WeRide held approximately $764.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and wealth management products. That figure excludes the roughly $308 million raised during the company’s recent dual listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in November.

Combined, WeRide effectively has over $1 billion in accessible liquidity — a substantial competitive advantage. That provides a multi-year runway to continue R&D (which still accounts for 73% of operating expenses) without an immediate need to dilute shareholders further.

Because of these factors, WeRide is better positioned to weather economic downturns while some competitors may struggle to raise funds.

The Geopolitical Pivot: Risk vs. Reward

Investors must acknowledge the elephant in the room: the U.S. Commerce Department finalized a rule banning certain Chinese connected-vehicle software starting in 2027, effectively locking WeRide out of the American market.

Still, the market reaction to the Q3 earnings suggests that risk is largely priced in. By succeeding in the UAE and securing permits in Singapore and Switzerland, the company has demonstrated the Total Addressable Market (TAM) outside the U.S. is large enough to support a viable business.

WeRide now holds autonomous-driving permits in eight countries, including Belgium, France and Singapore. The company has accumulated over 55 million kilometers of Level 4 (L4) autonomous mileage — a data advantage that’s hard for new entrants to replicate. Its success in the Middle East supports the view that autonomous driving is a global opportunity, not just an American one.

Beyond the Taxi: The Dual Flywheel Effect

While the robotaxi segment is grabbing headlines, WeRide is not a one-hit wonder. The company runs a dual-flywheel strategy that uses its technology to generate immediate cash flow while the robotaxi network scales. Its WePilot 3.0 system reached start-of-production (SOP) in November 2025.

WePilot 3.0 is an advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) sold to automakers for mass-market passenger cars. WeRide is rolling it out with partners and has been nominated by the GAC Group for future models.

Selling software to carmakers creates immediate revenue and supplies vast driving-data sets that refine the algorithms used in robotaxis.

Despite the 14.7% rally, WeRide shares remain down roughly 74% YTD. That steep decline drew significant short interest, which rose nearly 35% in October. The strong earnings report likely triggered a short squeeze as bears covered positions.

For new investors, the Abu Dhabi model provides tangible proof of concept. If WeRide can replicate those unit economics in Singapore and Dubai, the current valuation — trading well below IPO levels — could represent a deep-value opportunity in the artificial-intelligence sector.
