Unitree's 629% IPO pop resets humanoid robotics valuations overnight
Unitree Robotics' Shanghai debut saw shares surge 629% on day one, turning a $1,000 stake into $7,290 by close and instantly redrawing the valuation map for humanoid robotics.

The gap between Western R&D costs and Chinese production economics just became impossible to ignore.
