Self-driving car companies Pony.ai and WeRide get the OK for Hong Kong listing | TechCrunch

Key Takeaways

  • Pony.AI and WeRide received approval from Chinese regulators (CSRC) for secondary listings in Hong Kong.
  • Both autonomous vehicle companies are currently listed on the U.S. Nasdaq Exchange.
  • The CSRC holds the final authority for Chinese companies seeking overseas public listings.
  • WeRide is reportedly aiming to complete its Hong Kong listing in December.
  • WeRide has hired Morgan Stanley and China International Capital Corp for the dual primary listing process.

Autonomous vehicle technology leaders Pony.AI and WeRide have successfully obtained necessary approval from Chinese securities regulators, specifically the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), to move forward with secondary listings in Hong Kong. Both companies are already publicly traded in the U.S. on the Nasdaq Exchange, having debuted in late 2024. The CSRC's approval is the final authority needed for Chinese firms to list overseas, and filings indicate both are ready to proceed with their global offerings. WeRide, which debuted in October 2024, is reportedly targeting a December completion for its Hong Kong listing, having hired Morgan Stanley and CICC for the process. This move aligns with a broader trend of Chinese companies pursuing secondary listings on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
