Unitree hits $62B on Shanghai debut

Unitree’s Shanghai debut turned into an extreme liquidity event: reports put the first-day gain between 460% and 629.44%, with several accounts saying the robot maker briefly reached a $62 billion to $66 billion valuation after raising about $905 million. The listing on China’s STAR Market gives public investors a pure-play bet on humanoid and quadruped robotics at a scale normally associated with electric-vehicle leaders, not hardware startups. The huge spread in reported opening moves underscores how volatile the debut was, but the signal is clear: Chinese capital markets are assigning strategic scarcity value to embodied AI companies before mass-market robot demand is proven.
