PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Revenue and non-GAAP profit are moving in opposite directions, which shows Unitree is trading hardware profit for a ticket into embodied intelligence. Single-quarter R&D spending is close to the total for the entire first half; the money is being spent decisively, but the models have not yet landed at scale. Institutional target prices range wildly from 350 yuan to 995 yuan, essentially a bet on the commercialization timetable for physical AI. In the short term, watch the financials; in the long term, watch real-machine orders. Whether non-GAAP profit holds steady in Q4 is the key observation point.
