Summary
Unitree’s shares have surged by around 500%, pushing the company’s valuation to roughly $62 billion. Its humanoid robot, known as “Superman,” can reach speeds of up to 28 mph, while China now has more than 330 humanoid robot models in development. Despite its rapid growth, Unitree is facing increased scrutiny in the U.S. after being flagged by the Pentagon in June 2026. Unitree hit the Shanghai Stock Exchange and immediately looked less like a hardware startup and more like a market event, with shares jumping roughly 500% and briefly running even hotter at the open.
