Chinese authorities are halting humanoid robot listings to scrutinize whether high valuations are inflated by state-sponsored projects rather than genuine market demand, following a sharp post-IPO decline for Unitree Robotics.

  • According to Meza News, regulators have effectively frozen IPO preparations for humanoid robot firms, with sources indicating that valuations could drop by up to 70% if revenue derived from government-backed data collection centers is excluded.

  • Regulators are re-evaluating revenue models after Unitree's stock crashed 55% from its peak.
