We've uncovered the 13 dividend fortresses yielding 5%+ that don't just survive market storms, but thrive in them. WeRide Investment Narrative Recap To own WeRide, you need to believe that its large scale L4 operations and growing ADAS footprint can eventually turn high R&D spending into a viable business model. The Lenovo plan to support deployment of 200,000 L4 vehicles could reinforce the key near term catalyst of winning more high fare, driver constrained cities, but it does little to reduce the main risk that losses remain high if utilization, pricing, and permits do not keep pace. The WRD 3.0 multi chip ADAS announcement is especially relevant here, because it shows WeRide trying to spread its autonomy stack across nearly 30 mass market models, not just robotaxis. If these L2++ deployments gain traction with OEMs like GAC and Chery, they may help offset the heavy cash demands of global L4 expansion and slightly rebalance the earnings story away from a pure
