Unitree Robotics debuted on Shanghai's STAR Market today at 150.8 yuan per share, raising about 6.1 billion yuan. Shares opened near 1,100 yuan for a +629% gain before easing to 883.87 yuan by the morning-session close, valuing the Hangzhou-based company at roughly $50 billion as mainland China's first publicly traded humanoid robot maker.
Retail demand was extraordinary: Reuters reports the IPO was oversubscribed more than 8,000 times, far exceeding prior estimates and this year's average new-listing pop. Founder Wang Xingxing retains around a fifth of the company, and Unitree is already profitable, distinguishing it from many pre-revenue AI peers.
The +629% opening surge reflects expectations for future industrial adoption rather than current deployment scale. While viral demos have drawn global attention, the valuation assumes mass-market traction that has not yet materialized in commercial installation numbers.
China's public markets are clearly eager to back humanoid robotics as a strategic sector. The test now is whether Unitree can convert debut enthusiasm into sustained contracts once the IPO hype settles and investors scrutinize actual revenue mix beyond the demo stage.
