China’s securities regulator approves Unitree Robotics’ registration to list on the Shanghai Stock Exchange’s STAR Market, clearing a key regulatory step for the humanoid and quadruped robot maker. Multiple reports say the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) grants the approval after Unitree’s listing review by the Shanghai Stock Exchange’s listing committee. With the formal hurdle cleared, the company moves toward pricing and selling shares, while also finalising underwriting arrangements. Tech coverage also notes that CITIC Securities acts as advisor. One report says Unitree has completed its Series C funding in the lead-up to the IPO and that it is preparing for the offering after this financing round. Another outlet reports that Unitree’s planned offering is valued at about 4.2 billion yuan (roughly $619 million). A separate report cites a different valuation figure of $1.6 billion and links it to Unitree’s funding history, indicating valuations may be referenced differently across sources. The company’s 2024 revenue is reported as over one billion yuan, reflecting its scale in China’s embodied-AI and robotics market.
