The humanoid-robot boom is colliding with earnings reality, TechTimes reports. China's Unitree cleared its Shanghai STAR Market IPO after regulators approved its registration, with BigGo Finance citing market expectations of a valuation above 100 billion yuan (roughly $14.7 billion). Yet Unitree's first-quarter profit reportedly fell about 52% year over year. Tesla, meanwhile, is scaling Optimus production toward triple-digit weekly output this summer, though the robots built in 2026 are slated for internal factory testing, not external sale. Forbes earlier reported Agility Robotics moving to go public via a roughly $2.5 billion SPAC deal. Humanoid stocks surged around July 10, but the gap between production ramps and real revenue remains wide.
