Last Week’s Top 10 Stocks Post Double-Digit Gains

1. WeRide Inc. (NASDAQ:WRD)

Shares of WeRide nearly doubled its share prices last week, ending higher by 97.6 percent at $31.5 apiece versus the $15.94 apiece as investors gobbled up shares following giant chipmaker Nvidia Corp.’s (NVDA) purchase of 1.7 million shares in the company.

At intra-day trading on Friday, WRD stock price soared as high as 146 percent to $42.24 apiece before early profit-taking pulled the company’s valuation lower towards the end of the trading session.

NVDA released its stake positions in several companies on the same day, which saw its 44-percent ownership reduction in British chipmaker Arm Holdings, while also exiting Serve Robotics and SoundHound AI.

Meanwhile, WRD uses NVDA’s advanced graphic processors and AI software to power its vehicles, pushing its market capitalization to $4.71 billion as of the market close.

According to an analyst from Triple D Trading, “There is no greater vote of confidence than Nvidia taking a stake in your company.”

While we acknowledge the potential of WRD as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter timeframe.
