# Unitree Robotics IPO soars ~460% on Shanghai STAR Market debut

Unitree, the world's largest humanoid-robot shipper, debuted on Shanghai's STAR Market on 2026-08-19; priced at ¥150.80, shares jumped as much as ~630% intraday and closed up ~460% at ¥845, valuing it around $50B and making it the first humanoid-robot stock on China's A-share market.

## Key facts
- IPO price ¥150.80/share; raised ¥6.1B (~$905M); 10% float (~40.45M new shares)
- Day one: intraday high ~+630%, close ~+460% at ¥845; valuation ~ $50B
- 2025 revenue ¥1.70B (vs ¥392.8M in 2024); 2025 net profit ¥278.2M
- Shipped >5,000 humanoid robots in 2025; overseas sales 44% of 2025 revenue

## What happened

Unitree published its prospectus on July 30, priced on August 6, and listed on August 19. The debut far exceeded the average 2026 China IPO first-day gain (279%).

## Why it matters

The listing puts a public-market price on the humanoid boom and gives China's leading low-cost humanoid maker capital to scale; Unitree's founder targeted 10,000-20,000 humanoid shipments in 2026.
