About UnitreeIPOJumps629%
Unitree Robotics opened ~629% higher on its trading debut, briefly topping CNY440B in value and nearing a 1,600x P/E on 2025 earnings. Pricing reflects humanoid mass-production hopes, scarcity of listed full-system makers and limited first-day float. Yet Q1 2026 net profit attributable to shareholders fell ~48% YoY, while demand still must translate into repeatable industrial use cases. Can shipment growth and adoption absorb the valuation, or was the debut mostly a scarcity premium?

🤖 A ROBOT MAKER JUST OUT-PUMPED HALF OF CRYPTO
Unitree Robotics opened its Shanghai debut up 629% today. Not a typo.
Shares jumped from the ¥150.80 IPO price to ¥1,100 at the open — turning a ~$9B listing valuation into roughly $66B before some of the froth came off. Even after paring back to around ¥900, early buyers are still sitting on close to 5x gains from a single trading session.
The demand behind it was absurd: retail orders came in at more than 5,500x the available shares. Founder Wang Xingxing's stake alone briefly topped $12B. Meituan, an early backer, saw its position return over 70x.
Here's the part that separates this from pure hype: Unitree is actually profitable and shipped roughly 5,500 units last year. Backers include Tencent, Alibaba, and DeepSeek. As China's first publicly traded humanoid robot maker — in a country already producing the bulk of the world's humanoid robot supply — this listing is being watched as a signpost for how public markets will price "embodied AI" going forward.
The catch: a stock that can 6x in one session isn't exactly proof of efficient pricing. Viral backflip demos are one thing; getting robots reliably working warehouse floors at scale is another. More Chinese robotics IPOs are reportedly lining up to test whether the appetite holds.

1956. Egypt nationalised the Suez Canal and the world spent months arguing whether that stretch of water was actually worth what Nasser said it was worth.
Nobody had a real number until the ships stopped moving and the market was forced to price the chokepoint for real.
Unitree just did that to humanoid robots.
Nobody had a public benchmark for what a real, shipping, profitable humanoid company is worth. Analysts were guessing. Private markets were guessing. Then Unitree (688836) listed on Shanghai's STAR Market and the guessing stopped.
Stock opened up 629%. By midday it was still up 492.18%, near a $53.3 billion valuation, up from a $9.1 billion IPO price.
Read that again..
This company shipped 5,500 humanoid robots in 2025. Booked $252 million in revenue. Already profitable. That's not a pitch deck, that's a real business getting a real public price tag for the first time.
Now look at what that price does to everyone else on the board.
Agility Robotics, backed by Nvidia and Amazon, is going public through Churchill Capital Corp XI at a $2.5 billion pre-money valuation. Unitree just traded at more than 21 times that, for the same category of machine.
Tesla is worth over $1 trillion, but Optimus doesn't even have its own ticker. It's just a line item inside a car company.
Here's why today of all days matters.. every humanoid deal that was priced before this listing now has to explain why it isn't this expensive. Just like Suez in 1956, the number was never real until someone was forced to price it in public.
The system worked for someone today.. just not for the guy who priced his round last quarter.

🤖 UNITREE Opens 629% Above Its IPO Price
Unitree Robotics made a wild A-share debut today, opening at RMB 1,100 — 7.3× its RMB 150.80 IPO price.
For investors who won one 500-share IPO allotment, that meant roughly RMB 475K in paper gains at the open.
Humanoid robotics just hit the A-share market.
Long or short from here?

The robot hasn't learned to work yet, but the market value has already soared
Today, Yushu Technology went public, opening at ¥1100, up 629%, with a total market value once reaching ¥444.9 billion. A single lot gained ¥470,000 paper profit.
But the real question is: why is a company with less than ¥1.7 billion revenue in 2025 worth over ¥300 billion?
The answer is betting on the future.
What are robots actually doing now? In 2025, humanoid robot revenue will be 73.6% from scientific research and education, with only 9% actually working in factories. Most robots are still being studied in labs and haven't truly entered factories to screw bolts.
There are also significant technical bottlenecks. General household robots will take at least another 3 to 5 years. Humanoid robots are the future, but not tomorrow.
A good company doesn't equal a good price. The first-day surge is driven by sentiment; whether it can hold long-term depends on whether robots can really start working in factories.

A 629% imagination premium
On Unitree Technology's first day on the STAR Market, its gain was fixed at 629%. This is not a numbers game; the market is voting with real money—a narrative that has yet to fully unfold.
Quadruped robots move from the lab to mass production, and Unitree is the fastest on this path. But what does 629% mean? It means investors are not buying last year's revenue or this year's capacity, but imagining the possibilities for 2028, 2030, or even beyond. Humanoid robots entering factories, homes, and elderly care communities—every scenario is an uncut diamond.
The technical path is clear: motion control, perception systems, AI decision-making—Unitree has reserves in place. But commercialization has never been a technical issue—it's about cost, habit, and safety. How much is a robot that can serve tea and water sell for for consumers willing to pay? How long does it take to break even the ROI of replacing a worker in a factory? These numbers haven't even been fully realized yet, but the stock price has already started to rally.
The realization of high valuations doesn't rely on flashy videos at launch events, but on real delivery, real repurchases, and real failure rate reductions. For Boston Dynamics has been struggling for thirty years without solving something, Unitree will answer within three to five years—the capital market's patience for time is shorter than a robot's battery life.
629% is applause, but also a countdown. Robots under the spotlight walk every step on a razor's edge. #宇树科技科创板首日开盘暴涨629%, how can high valuations be realized?

Damn! The first humanoid robot stock went public today, instantly throwing the entire A-share market into chaos.
The issue price was only 150.8 yuan, but it soared to 1100 yuan at the opening, up 629%, with its market value surging past 440 billion yuan.
But the online lottery rate is as low as 0.018%, a historically staggering level. The circulating shares are just over 7%, with pitifully few chips, and once emotions arise, it's impossible to contain them. Scarce tracks, AI hardware speculation, and retail investors rushing to buy—this is a classic case of telling stories that are hype first, with real skills to talk about later.
The shareholder list was a blatant wealth-building show. On Liang Wenfeng's side, DeepSeek, Illusion, Jiuzhang, and a bunch of people collectively took over a million shares, with opening gains easily exceeding 1 billion.
Lei Junshun holds 16.1 million shares in the Weiwei Group, with an extra 15 billion yuan on paper; Meituan Group is the largest external shareholder, with 35.12 million shares, resulting in unrealized profits exceeding 30 billion yuan.
DJI's 2018 capital increase that could have been made has gone wrong. Based on today's opening price, they have narrowly missed out on the 25 billion yuan worth of flesh. The wealthy continue to earn easily, while ordinary people can't even touch signings. Reality is just that harsh.
But looking at it calmly, this valuation has already exhausted the optimistic script for the next decade. The issuance price-to-earnings ratio is 219 times, and the dynamic ratio is directly approaching 700 times, while the industry average is only about 38 times.
The company's revenue has grown from over 150 million to around 1.7 billion in recent years, with shipments of humanoid robots ranking among the top globally, and a gross margin reaching as high as 60%, which looks very solid.
But in the first half of this year, after deducting one-time gains, profits dropped directly. The money was high, but profits didn't keep up—this problem is obvious.
The total R&D investment in recent years is just so-so. Compared to the current market value of hundreds of billions, it's like forcing a toy factory's small budget to support a big future story.
Some professional analysts on X also think it's completely unreasonable—it's all bubbles. If you dare to rebound, you short. Most clients are university labs, less than 10% actually work in factories, core embodied large models aren't mature, and first-quarter profits have already been halved.
There were also comments claiming they were just a high-end toy factory, cloaked in a tech cloak. Three years of R&D combined amounted to only tens of millions of dollars, less than the annual spending of a toy giant. The founders knew very well that everyone's expectations were ridiculously high, and actually meeting them would be a tough challenge.
To stabilize this sky-high valuation, three things must be done boldly: industrial and commercial scenarios must be mass-produced to fill the gap of revenue growth without profit growth; humanoid robots must be mass-produced, cost reduction, and updated faster, not just rely on demo videos to fool people; Gross margin must also be firmly maintained, so as not to end up as an empty shell sustained by financing and burning cash.
If it can't be achieved, once the AI hardware hype dies down, this ultra-high valuation will immediately become the best target for everyone to rush to sell. On the first day of listing, it surged and then fell, clearly signaling disagreement among investors.
No matter how sexy the track story is, in the end, it all depends on performance.
And it also depends on whether the lab equipment can actually be thrown into the factory to work.

Don't stubbornly hold on, the $UNITREE drop this time is a nailed-down value correction. Anyone who calmly does the math wouldn't have bought in at the high price.
Frankly, this asset is fundamentally a bubble on top of a bubble. The underlying Unitree Technology had a PE ratio of 219 times when it issued on the A-share market, nearly 5 times higher than the industry average, making it a purely speculative high-bubble stock in the big A market. Then in the crypto space issuance, it piled on an emotional premium, pushing the peak market cap to over $30 billion, effectively leveraging the bubble even more, ridiculously inflated.
The fundamentals are even more dismal. Q1 net profit excluding non-recurring items was slashed by 52.55% year-on-year, and the first half is expected to continue declining. The previously hyped high-growth story was busted on the spot. Without earnings to support the hype, the crazier it rises, the harder it falls.
I entered early with a short position and now have steady floating profits. If it really falls to a reasonable valuation, aligned with the industry normal level, corresponding to an A-share price of 400-500 yuan, the coin price would be worth only $58-73.
For those still thinking of bottom-fishing for a rebound, first check if your pocket can afford the loss. On the road of bubble bursting, every rebound is a trap to catch people.

Is Unitree Technology's IPO the peak? The funding rate made my hand tremble a bit
I just glanced at the perpetual contract funding rate for UNITREEUSDT, -1%. This data is more than just "short squeeze"; it's almost a clear signal to the market about how many are betting it will fall back to its original state.
On the first day of A-share listing, it surged directly to 1100 yuan, with a market cap briefly exceeding 440 billion yuan, closing at 845 yuan. A single lot yielded a floating profit of 470,000 yuan, making it arguably the most ruthless wealth machine of 2026. But the next day it dropped back to 687 yuan, with a market cap evaporating over 160 billion yuan in one day, falling from peak to ankle in two days. Quoting a former chief economist of a securities firm, when the free float is only 7.44%, the pricing reflects scarcity premium, not true value.
Here, with contracts available to short and a funding rate hitting -1%, it means shorts can eat up a large chunk of profits just from holding costs each month. How is this different from giving it away? You better think carefully before placing an order—are you planning to take this negative funding rate bite, or waiting for a sudden rebound to get squeezed?
It's not that the company is bad. Unitree sold 5,500 humanoid robots in 2025, with revenue of 1.699 billion yuan, already one of the few profitable in the industry. But in the first half of 2026, net profit excluding non-recurring items dropped nearly 20% year-on-year. Founder Wang Xingxing himself publicly admitted that robot efficiency is only 30%-50% of a human's. The gap between the pre-IPO promises and post-IPO reality is a whole path of valuation reversion.
