ROBOTICS: THE FUTURE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE 3/3

A valuation correction across Chinese humanoid pure-plays has reset segment prices by -35% to -70% from early 2026 highs, triggered by Unitree's post-IPO decline and stricter listing criteria. However, operational expansion continues unabated, supported by China's dominant cost structures and steady industrial component demand. This pullback provides an appealing entry point into physical AI, backed by the safety of an established industrial foundation. Furthermore, capping volatile pure-plays at 2% while anchoring in profitable suppliers ensures effective risk management.

Key Points

  • China: the largest market and manufacturing hub
  • Humanoids: a nascent market with extraordinary prospects
  • An optimal strategy built on two complementary engines
  • Critical components: a genuine bottleneck and a source of profitability
  • Positioning across the entire value chain to optimize the risk/return profile
  • An exceptionally attractive market entry point in Q4 2026
  • Simulated performance that outperforms the indices
