$WRD Here's a side-by-sdie view of the key financial data and the employee headcount differential between
$PONY and WeRide. They have different structures, diff strategies, but similar share performances on two factors: Net Losses and Scales Operations (slower than everyone expected).
At some point they will diverge over operations, scaling and size of net losses.
WeRide has a better gross margin, a larger global footprint and stronger partners IMO. WeRide rate of change on many other metrics favors WeRide IMO nut institutions favor PONY.
Who ends up on top gets decided by early 2027.
There's more to measure or compare but that's not important now. WeRide outsized net loss vs PONY is entirely from its large headcount. This headcount will need to start showing up in generating better revenues.
We don't have other AV companies to compare these to bcs WAYMO, BAIDU and TESLA do not report their AV as standalone businesses with all their costs, R&D expenses or net losses.
