Agibot's Hong Kong IPO Hits Regulatory Snag as Data-Deal Audits Loom
KEY FACTS
- Regulators have informally paused the listing process for some humanoid robot companies, naming Agibot and others.
- In July 2025, Agibot took a 63.62% controlling stake in Shangwei New Materials for about 2.1 billion yuan, pledging no backdoor listing within 36 months.
- Agibot's 2025 revenue was 1.05 billion yuan, with cumulative losses of about 280 million yuan from 2023 to 2025.
- Agibot is the provisional winner of the Hubei Optics Valley data-collection center project with a bid of 31.0161 million yuan and a 15% stake.
- Agibot spun off its data business into Mifeng Technology but remains the controlling shareholder, so the transactions stay on its books.

PHYSIX OBSERVATION
The regulatory pause on listings points directly at the revenue authenticity of data-collection related-party transactions. Agibot's large scale means that if related-party revenue is stripped out, the hit to its valuation and listing process would far exceed that of its peers. The data business was spun off but not deconsolidated, so audit risk remains. The industry must shift from related-party deals to genuine end-user demand, or the data-collection center model will not be sustainable.
