Unitree’s robot stock exploded 400% on its IPO debut—fueling hype over its agile quadruped and humanoid bots—but profits actually fell in the first half of the year. The wild ride has sparked debate about China’s IPO system, which can distort prices with limited short-selling and government-set valuations. Since hitting its peak, the stock has tumbled 45%, raising alarms about a potential tech market bubble. Critics call it a “pump and dump,” where early investors inflate prices to cash out, leaving retail investors behind. While the robotics revolution dazzles, fundamentals still matter—and this episode serves as a stark reminder that even the coolest tech needs a solid business foundation to sustain its value.
