Unitree IPO Frenzy vs. Humanoid Robot Startup Wipeout
创业邦 · wechat · 2026-08-15
Unitree Technology debuted on the STAR Market at 150.80 RMB per share, hailed as the "first humanoid robot stock." With a P/E ratio of 219x and strategic backing from DeepSeek and Tencent, its online lottery success rate hit a record low of 0.018%. Meanwhile, the sector faces a brutal wipeout: well-funded startups like CloudMinds and Cartwheel Robotics have collapsed due to cash flow issues. The analysis highlights high burn rates as a major barrier, with capital concentrating on head players who control supply chains and real-world applications.
