Unitree Technology IPO: Early Investors See Substantial Gains, First-Day Floating Chips to Make Up Less Than 10%
Odaily News Unitree Technology (688836.SH), the "first humanoid robot stock on the A-share market," has drawn significant market attention for its IPO subscription. The company's issuance price-to-earnings ratio has reached 219.23 times, significantly higher than the industry average of approximately 38.56 times, with the effective subscription multiple in the offline inquiry phase surpassing 2,618 times.In addition, primary market investors have already reaped considerable returns. Variable Capital invested only 2.09 million yuan in 2018, and its return multiple has now soared to over 174 times. Sequoia Capital China has injected a cumulative total of approximately 102 million yuan over the years, and based on the issuance price estimate, its shareholding market value is approaching 3 billion yuan. Meituan-affiliated entities collectively hold a 9.65% stake through multiple investment vehicles, with book gains exceeding 3.6 billion yuan.However, contrasting with the high returns in the primary market, secondary market investors will face a game between high valuations and limited floating chips. Unitree Technology will publicly issue approximately 40.44 million shares this time, with the initial online offering ratio at only about 16%, while the remaining shares are mainly allocated to institutional investors through strategic placement and offline inquiry. Based on a total share capital of approximately 404 million shares after issuance, the floating shares on the first trading day will be around 29.77 million shares, accounting for about 7.36% of total share capital, with over 90% of shares remaining locked up.Currently, Unitree Technology has not yet announced a specific listing date. Following the STAR Market's new share issuance process, the company is expected to officially begin trading as early as mid-August. (Tencent Technology)

the new AI lab founded by Lin Junyang, former core head of Alibaba's Tongyi Qianwen, has completed its initial funding round, raising a total of several hundred million US dollars with a post-investment valuation of approximately $2 billion. Sequoia Capital China and Gaorong Capital each led the round with $100 million investments, while Tencent participated with a $20 million investment. Lin Junyang left in March this year due to disagreements over team restructuring. The project has now initiated preparations for a new funding round. Tencent, which is intensifying its AI layout, has previously invested in multiple local large-model enterprises and is also currently participating in the latest funding round of DeepSeek.

Meta May Withdraw $2.5 Billion Acquisition of AI Startup Manus
According to The Wall Street Journal, Meta is preparing to unwind its acquisition of AI startup Manus. If Meta proceeds with unwinding the deal, several of Manus’s former Asian investors—including Tencent, Sequoia China, and ZhenFund—plan to cooperate. Additionally, both companies are required to terminate the transaction and fully restore Manus’s assets in China to their pre-acquisition status, including retrieving any data or technology previously transferred to Meta. Manus is a China-related startup headquartered in Singapore, focused on developing AI agents. Meta completed the $2.5 billion acquisition last December and has rapidly integrated the related technologies into its own systems. Should the deal ultimately be unwound, both parties will need to separate the already-integrated technologies and systems. Earlier reports indicated that China banned the transaction on April 27 on national security grounds.
