Chinese Robot Maker Unitree Sees Shares Surge Nearly 500% on Stock Market Debut in Shanghai
Shares in Unitree, the world’s largest maker of humanoid robots, surged as much as 600% before paring back to a gain of nearly 500% on the company’s debut on China’s stock market Wednesday, marking one of the most explosive public listings of the year as investors race to identify winners in the fast-growing robotics sector.
Shares in the company, officially known as Yushu Technology Co., rose to as high as 1,100 yuan, or roughly £120.39, from an initial public offering price of just 150.8 yuan, before settling to a still-remarkable gain of nearly 500% by the end of trading. The listing places Unitree among the standout technology debuts on Chinese exchanges this year, reflecting intense investor appetite for exposure to humanoid robotics, an industry widely viewed as one of the central battlegrounds in the broader global race around artificial intelligence.
Unitree, founded in 2016, has built global recognition largely through viral videos showcasing its robots performing martial arts routines, running at speeds comparable to Olympic athletes, and serving as backup dancers during pop star performances. The company shipped more than 5,500 humanoid robots last year, positioning it as one of the most commercially established players in a market still in its relatively early stages of large-scale deployment.
The broader humanoid robotics market is projected to grow dramatically over the coming decade. Analysts estimate that global sales of humanoid robots could climb from roughly $2 billion in 2025 to as much as $300 billion by 2035, a growth trajectory that has fueled significant investor enthusiasm for companies positioned to capture a meaningful share of that expansion.
Retail investor demand for Unitree’s IPO proved exceptionally strong. According to reporting on the listing, the portion of shares set aside for non-professional individual investors was oversubscribed by thousands of times, reflecting the scale of public enthusiasm surrounding the offering among ordinary Chinese stock market participants, in addition to institutional interest.
Unitree occupies a relatively unique position within the still-developing humanoid robotics industry as one of the few publicly listed pure-play companies in the space. Its largest competitor, AgiBot, remains privately held, while a smaller rival, UBTech, is listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange rather than mainland Chinese markets. At least half a dozen other Chinese humanoid robotics companies, including Deep Robotics and Leju Robotics, are reportedly preparing their own public listings, suggesting Unitree’s debut could serve as an early bellwether for investor appetite toward the broader sector as additional competitors move toward going public.
The scale of Wednesday’s share price surge has had a dramatic personal financial impact on Unitree founder and chief executive Wang Xingxing, who founded the company in 2016 and continues to own roughly a fifth of the business. According to Reuters, the jump in Unitree’s valuation means Wang’s personal stake is now worth more than $12 billion on paper, a significant increase to his net worth driven entirely by the market’s reaction to the company’s public debut.
Unitree’s stock market listing coincided with the opening of the World Robot Conference in Beijing on Wednesday, an event that brings together hundreds of companies, the vast majority of them Chinese, to unveil new products and showcase recent technical advances across the robotics industry. The timing of the listing alongside the high-profile conference likely amplified investor attention on the sector more broadly, contributing to the intensity of demand for Unitree shares.
Unitree’s rapid rise has not been without controversy or geopolitical friction. Last month, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission moved to ban imports of future models of foreign-made humanoid and quadruped robots, citing national security concerns, a decision widely understood to be aimed primarily at Chinese manufacturers such as Unitree given the country’s dominant position in the global humanoid robotics supply chain. Separately, the Pentagon added Unitree to a list of Chinese companies it has identified as contributors to China’s defense industrial base earlier this summer, a designation Unitree has pushed back against, with the company previously stating that its robots are intended for civilian use rather than military applications.
Despite the friction with U.S. regulators, Unitree has continued to attract substantial backing from major Chinese technology companies, with both Tencent and Alibaba among the firm’s corporate investors, underscoring the strategic importance domestic Chinese technology giants have placed on securing early positions within the country’s rapidly developing robotics ecosystem.
Unitree’s stock market debut adds to a broader wave of attention on China’s robotics sector this year, as the country has increasingly positioned humanoid and quadruped robots as a strategic priority within its broader technology development agenda, alongside ongoing investment in artificial intelligence more generally. The intense investor demand seen in Wednesday’s listing suggests that enthusiasm extends well beyond government-level strategic interest and into broad-based public market appetite for exposure to companies at the forefront of the robotics industry.
With several additional Chinese humanoid robotics companies reportedly preparing their own initial public offerings in the coming months, market analysts are likely to closely watch how sustained investor interest proves to be following Wednesday’s dramatic debut, both as a signal of confidence in Unitree specifically and as a broader indicator of how receptive Chinese capital markets may prove to be toward the wave of robotics-focused listings expected to follow in the sector over the remainder of the year.

Check out what’s clicking on FoxBusiness.com.
State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance recently began distributing a record $5 billion dividend to qualifying auto insurance customers, marking the largest payout of its kind in the company’s more than 100-year history.
Millions of customers have already received payments, with additional distributions on the way, State Farm said in a July 31 news release.
The dividend is being paid to eligible customers covering more than 49 million State Farm Mutual auto vehicles nationwide.
“Because the distribution covers more than 49 million auto vehicles, the payment process will take several months to be completed nationwide,” the company said.

Each customer’s payment is calculated as a percentage of the premium paid for each qualifying policy in 2025.
The percentage varies by state and ranges from 4% to 10%, according to State Farm.
State Farm previously told USA Today that customers who had an active personal auto insurance policy in 2025 are eligible for the payment.

Those without an email address on file will receive a check by mail.
The insurer did not specify an exact date for when the payments would be completed.

State Farm initially unveiled plans for the $5 billion dividend in February.
“This dividend is possible due to State Farm Mutual’s financial strength and a stronger than expected underwriting performance, which has been reported industry wide,” State Farm said at the time.

Brewers Rout Mariners 22-0 in Most Lopsided Shutout Win Since 1887 as Chaos Erupts Late
MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Brewers set a franchise record for largest margin of victory and matched the club mark for runs scored in a stunning 22-0 rout of the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night at American Family Field, a win that tied for the most lopsided shutout victory in Major League Baseball since 1887.
The game bore little resemblance to its early innings. Jake Bauers scored Milwaukee’s first run in what became a controversial and hard-fought play at home plate, sliding in against Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh in a 1-0 game heading into the bottom of the fifth. From there, the Brewers exploded, scoring 21 of their 22 total runs across their final four turns at bat in a display that left both dugouts, and the record books, scrambling to keep up.
“It was kind of crazy, and it happened fast,” said Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich, who played a central role in breaking the game open. Mariners manager Dan Wilson offered a more subdued assessment of the historic defeat. “It’s a tough one to even think about,” Wilson said. Brewers manager Pat Murphy, by contrast, embraced the outcome. “I’d like to order that every night,” Murphy said.
The 22-0 final score tied for the most lopsided shutout win in MLB history since June 28, 1887, when the Philadelphia Quakers, the franchise now known as the Phillies, defeated the Indianapolis Hoosiers by the same 24-0 margin comparison point. It also marked the largest shutout win at a home ballpark in 141 years, dating back to when the New York Giants defeated the Buffalo Bisons 24-0 on May 27, 1885. Only two teams have posted 22-0 victories in the years since — Pittsburgh in 1975 and Cleveland in 2004 — but both of those wins came on the road, making Milwaukee’s Tuesday night performance the first of its magnitude achieved at home in more than a century.
The win also set a new franchise mark for Milwaukee, surpassing the club’s previous record margin of victory by two runs. That prior record had been set with a 20-0 win in Pittsburgh on April 22, 2010. The Brewers’ 22 runs also matched the franchise’s all-time single-game scoring record, tying a 22-2 victory over Toronto on Aug. 28, 1992, a game that featured Hall of Famers Robin Yount and Paul Molitor as teammates during Milwaukee’s tenure in the American League. That 1992 game remains the franchise record for hits in a single contest, with 31 against the Blue Jays.
Tuesday’s Brewers offense, while producing fewer hits at 22, made them count in dramatic fashion, including four home runs, all coming from the fifth inning onward. The power surge stood out for a Milwaukee team that, even after Tuesday’s outburst, ranks last in the major leagues with 117 home runs on the season. Yelich capped a five-run fifth inning with a three-run home run. David Hamilton and Bauers each added multi-run home runs during a five-run sixth inning. Then, in a nine-run eighth inning that Yelich described as the moment the game shifted from lopsided to absurd, rookie outfielder Luis Lara hit his first career major league home run, a two-run shot that came off Mariners infielder Leo Rivas, a position player pressed into pitching duty. “Maybe we’ll have a [celebration] for his second career homer when he gets one off an actual pitcher,” Yelich said. “But they all count. You’ll take every single one of them.”
The eighth inning brought additional chaos beyond Lara’s milestone home run. With the bases loaded, Yelich, batting for the second time in the inning, lifted a fly ball to center field. Mariners center fielder Julio Rodríguez fielded the ball and threw it into the stands, apparently unaware that it was only the second out of the inning. Yelich’s flyout was ruled a sacrifice fly, extending Milwaukee’s lead to 20-0, while the baserunners were awarded two additional bases due to Rodríguez’s throwing error, pushing the score to 21-0. Lara then delivered an RBI single to make it 22-0. “It was kind of chaos there in the last inning with the lineup turning over and all the action going,” Yelich said. “It just happens sometimes. You lose track of the outs.”
Amid the lopsided later innings, the game’s opening stretch featured a far tighter and more contentious sequence. Bauers scored Milwaukee’s first run of the night on a two-out single by William Contreras, sliding into home plate where Raleigh was waiting with the ball already in his mitt. Bauers said he attempted a slide similar to one he had executed successfully days earlier in Los Angeles, but Raleigh’s positioning in the baseline appeared to result in Bauers knocking the ball loose from the catcher’s glove with his hands. Both players scrambled after the loose ball, with Raleigh diving back toward the plate and Bauers alerted by an on-deck Yelich to the ball’s location, ultimately being ruled safe. Reflecting on the play afterward, Bauers said the contact was unintentional. “I saw the replay. I definitely wasn’t trying to hit his glove,” he said. “I was more trying to protect him and me, because I didn’t want to barrel through him. I didn’t want to break my neck on his chest protector. It sucks that that’s the way it looks on video, but I definitely wasn’t trying to knock the ball out of his glove.”
What began as a tightly contested, potentially controversial 1-0 baseball game ultimately transformed into one of the most lopsided victories in the sport’s long history, a result that left both organizations and longtime observers of the game reaching for the record books to properly contextualize just how unusual Tuesday night’s outcome in Milwaukee truly was.
