Chinese humanoid robot maker Unitree powers up for stellar Shanghai debut
The offering drew record retail demand and a $9 billion valuation as investors bet on scarcity, profitability and state backing.
- On Friday, Hangzhou-based Unitree priced its initial public offering at 150.8 yuan per share, valuing the humanoid robot maker at roughly $9 billion and drawing record retail demand on Shanghai's STAR Market.
- Unitree arrives on the public market as the world's largest humanoid robot maker by sales, distinguished by profitability and state support that set it apart from early-stage competitors like Tesla and Boston Dynamics.
- Trading platform Hiive prices Unitree shares at roughly $62, implying a 176% upside from the IPO price, while Jeff Ko, chief analyst at CoinEx, said "every market outside the regulated IPO process is attaching a substantial scarcity premium to the shares."
- Despite the hype, Unitree faces significant risks: a 13% revenue exposure to the U.S., potential dependency on Western components, and current humanoid technology that remains limited, requiring specific training for even simple tasks.
- Wood Mackenzie expects the global humanoid robot fleet to grow to 10 million units by 2035, a trajectory that has other Chinese firms including AgiBot and Leju Robotics preparing their own public debuts.
