WeRide Inc. (NASDAQ: WRD), a leading autonomous driving technology company, saw its stock soar 6.76% in pre-market trading on Tuesday, November 19.

WeRide, a pure-play in the global Level 4 (L4) and above autonomous driving market, received an "Overweight" rating from Morgan Stanley with a $23 price target.
