Unitree Robotics Shanghai IPO

Entities: Shanghai Stock Exchange · Wang Xingxing · Shanghai STAR Market · Unitree Technology · Unitree Robotics

Overview

Unitree Robotics announced a mid‑August launch of its IPO on the Shanghai STAR Market, issuing about 40.45 million new shares representing roughly 10 % of post‑offering capital. The company reported 2025 revenue of 1.7 billion yuan and net profit of 591 million yuan, with humanoid robots now accounting for the majority of sales. Analysts estimated the IPO valuation at 50‑56 billion yuan (≈$7.4 billion). The price inquiry began on August 5, subscription opened on August 10 and payment was due on August 12. The filing indicated a target raise of roughly 42 billion yuan to fund R&D, new production facilities and an expansion of its humanoid line, aiming for up to 20,000 units annually by 2026. Founder Wang Xingxing retained control through a weighted‑voting structure.

In August 2026 the offering closed, raising 6.1 billion yuan and pricing shares at 150.8 yuan each, which valued Unitree at about 61 billion yuan (≈$9 billion). The listing marked the first mainland stock‑market debut of a humanoid‑robot manufacturer, underscoring the Chinese government’s classification of the sector as strategic alongside AI and advanced manufacturing. Investors view the float as a gateway to the fast‑growing embodied‑AI market, while the prospectus highlighted that ongoing U.S.–China technology tensions could affect overseas expansion and component sourcing.
