중 로봇기업 유니트리, 상장 첫날 4배 올라…“수십 곳 기업공개 예정”

China's leading robotics company, Unitri, saw its shares soar by 4 times on its first day of trading on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The company's initial offering price of 150.8 yuan (31,200 yuan) more than quadrupled to 1100 yuan (22,760 yuan). The trading session started with a peak of 4,449 yuan (92,400 yuan) before settling at 845 yuan (17,430 yuan), a 460% increase over the initial offering price.

The market capitalization based on the closing price reached approximately 3256 billion yuan (67 trillion yuan), which is 5 times the offering amount of 610 billion yuan (12 trillion yuan). Pre-announcement trading volume was already intense, with Unitri issuing around 40.45 million shares and raising 61 billion yuan (1 trillion yuan).

Individual investors' allocation requests exceeded the allotment by 8,000 times, marking the highest level in post-market history. The individual investor participation rate was only 0.018%. The initial market limitation of publicly traded shares to 7.4% also contributed to the bullish sentiment. The company's impressive revenue growth last year to approximately 17 billion yuan (3517 billion yuan), with humanoid robot sales surpassing 8.678 billion yuan (1795 billion yuan), indicating a strong growth expectation.

Other Chinese robotics companies, including Ruru Robotics and Shouyuan Robotics, have also announced plans to go public in the coming months. Chinese media reports suggest dozens of robotics firms are preparing for initial public offerings. The Chinese government has been actively supporting the growth of humanoid robots and 'integration intelligence' as key industries through government funds and local subsidies.

The Shanghai Stock Exchange has emphasized the role of stock markets in financing these future industries. With government backing, the capital structure is shifting towards the robotics sector, reflecting the market's confidence in the industry's growth potential.
