00:00WeRide just became one of the few Chinese tech companies to pull off a dual listing
00:05and the ripple effects could reshape autonomous driving investments. Here's what happened.
00:10WeRide priced its Hong Kong IPO at $27.10 Hong Kong per share aiming to raise $308 million.
00:18This comes after their Nasdaq debut in October 2024 where they've actually lost over 30%
00:25of their value. But here's why this move matters.
00:27For tech and transportation, this signals growing confidence in Chinese autonomous vehicle startups
00:32despite all the regulatory hurdles they're facing. For global finance,
00:36raising this kind of money shows their still investor appetite in Hong Kong as a gateway for
00:41Chinese tech firms. And if you're watching crypto and tech flows, movements like this hint at broader
00:47risk appetites and capital flows that ripple into high growth sectors. The timing is particularly
00:53interesting because WeRide's rival Pony.ai is also going public the same week and there's already
00:59drama. WeRide's CFO accused Pony of making false statements during their roadshow. Meanwhile Pony's
01:05stock has gained over 60% since their November IPO. What to watch? Whether WeRide hits their funding
01:12target, how regulators respond, and if this triggers a wave of similar Chinese firms considering overseas
01:19listings. This could be the canary in the coal mine for how global markets view Chinese autonomous
01:24driving tech right now. Tech.
