Stock Price Halved: Blame Market Haste, Not Robotics

Don't blame the robots for this. Half a month ago, I wrote about Unitree, thinking Wang Xingxing's most valuable trait was clarity and viral content reach. Now that the stock price has dropped from 1100 to below 550, my opinion hasn't flipped; I'm just adding that viral ability is a plus on the financing table but can turn into retail investor FOMO (fear of missing out) in the secondary market.

Recently, when I posted robot dog videos, half the comments asked if they could buy, and the other half warned against becoming bag holders. Unitree certainly has substance. It has humanoid robot shipments and hard metrics like self-developed joints. The issue lies in the IPO P/E ratio being over 200x, small float, and opening six times higher on day one. A subsequent drop back isn't surprising.

The scariest thing in content creation is mistaking trending topics for sales volume. Audiences love watching quadruped dogs run and humanoids dance, but that doesn't mean they're willing to pay for home robots. The stock halving squeezing out bubbles actually takes the "first stock" label off the pedestal.

My advice is straightforward. Ordinary people shouldn't use tech faith to catch high-valuation new stocks. If you really want to follow it, wait until they prove out orders, after-sales service, financial reports, and use cases.
