WeRide ( (WRD) ) has provided an announcement.
On April 14, 2026, WeRide Inc. filed a Form 6-K and a Next Day Disclosure Return detailing a minor change in its share capital following a repurchase of WVR ordinary shares. The company bought back 270,000 shares on April 13, 2026 on the Nasdaq Stock Market at a volume‑weighted price of about USD 2.47 per share, to be held as treasury shares rather than cancelled.
Following the transaction, WeRide’s issued shares excluding treasury shares decreased slightly to 950,955,002, while total issued shares remained at 972,508,041. The buyback formed part of a repurchase mandate approved on March 13, 2026, under which WeRide is authorised to repurchase up to 102,732,246 shares, and triggers a moratorium on new share issuance or treasury share sales until May 13, 2026, signalling continued capital-management activity that modestly tightens its free float.
The most recent analyst rating on (WRD) stock is a Buy with a $11.40 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on WeRide stock, see the WRD Stock Forecast page.
