// IPO WATCH

Companies heading toward (or weighing) a public listing

Company	Status	Exchange / Vehicle	Detail
Unitree	LISTED · 688836	STAR Market · ~$50B	Debuted Aug 19 at ¥1,100, up 629% on the ¥150.80 IPO price and briefly worth ~$66B, closing at ¥845 (+460%) near $50B. Priced Aug 6, raising ~¥6.1B (~$904M); retail tranche oversubscribed >8,000x, a STAR Market record. Roughly 857x projected earnings against a market average near 130. The sector's first public price.
Humanoid (SKL Robotics)	PRIVATE	$1.35B val. · $270M raised	Europe's newest robotics unicorn. $152M Series A (Jul 2026) at $1.35B post-money, led by Prime Movers Lab — an early Figure backer — with Schaeffler and Bosch both participating as investors, customers and suppliers. Contracted for 1,000–2,000 HMND 01 units with Schaeffler by 2032; Bosch holds contract-manufacturing capacity for up to 100,000 units.
AgiBot (Zhiyuan)	EXPLORING	Hong Kong · HK$40–50B	Reported to be weighing a Hong Kong listing at HK$40–50B (~$5.1–6.4B). Past 20,000 cumulative units as of September 2026; Omdia ranks it first for 2025 shipments, a figure Unitree disputes. Unitree's debut sets the benchmark its filing will be measured against.
Deep Robotics	FILED	STAR Market (Shanghai)	Hangzhou firm; application accepted amid a revenue surge and pivot to embodied AI.
Figure AI	PRIVATE	~$39B reported val.	No IPO announced. Held the most valuable mark in the sector until Aug 19, when Unitree's public debut closed above it — the first time a listed humanoid maker has outvalued Figure.
Apptronik	PRIVATE	~$5B val. · $935M raised	$520M Series A (Feb 2026) led by Google at ~$5B. Apollo 2 is the showcase body for Google DeepMind's Gemini Robotics 2; pilots with Mercedes-Benz, GXO and Jabil.
Agility Robotics	LISTED · AGLT	Nasdaq via Churchill XI	Merger closed Nov 4, 2026; trading on Nasdaq as AGLT from Nov 5, the first US-listed humanoid pure-play. Gross proceeds about $465M before expenses, below the $620M+ first projected, with a Foxconn-led PIPE. The Form S-4 put 2025 net sales at $1.8M against a $140M operating loss.
1X Technologies	PRIVATE	Series C reported at $10B+ (unconfirmed) · $136.5M confirmed	NEO at $20,000 or $499/mo with 10,000+ pre-orders; US deliveries guided to late 2026. Backers include OpenAI, Tiger and Samsung.
