Unitree's slump sparks bubble fears | Arkansas Democrat Gazette

Unitree shares have swung sharply since their Shanghai debut, with a roughly 45% slump since last Wednesday’s more-than-fivefold jump triggering renewed bubble concerns. The company’s valuation reportedly surged to about $66 billion before dropping by $30 billion. The turmoil has fueled debate over whether enthusiasm for AI and robotics has outpaced fundamentals, as well as scrutiny of China’s IPO mechanism and the role of retail investors. Unitree steadied on Tuesday after three straight down days, with adjusted net profit falling 53% to $5.95 million in the first three months of 2026. Critics cite regulatory gaps, including no short-sellers.
