# Unitree Robotics Wins Shanghai IPO Approval, Targeting $619 Million Raise

> Unitree, the Chinese company that has become the world's top seller of humanoid robots, won approval on July 3 for a Shanghai listing that aims to raise about 4.2 billion yuan, or roughly 619 million dollars. The IPO could value the eight-year-old firm near 5.9 billion dollars, with the listing expected late this month. The numbers behind the filing are striking. Unitree turned an adjusted net profit of about 90 million dollars in 2025, up 674 percent year over year, on revenue of roughly 250 million dollars. For a hardware company in a field long dominated by demos and losses, that kind of profitability is rare. Proceeds are earmarked for AI models and new products, underscoring that Unitree sees software and learned behavior, not just cheap actuators, as its edge. Its public debut will be an early test of how markets value the humanoid robot boom.
