UBTech Robotics Hong Kong IPO: Capital Dried Up as Fundamentals Deteriorated

By Andrei Zakharov

  • UBTech Robotics, a leader in AI-powered robotics in China, filed for a Hong Kong IPO with Guotai Junan Capital leading the offering. The company plans to sell H-shares to investors. 
  • UBTech Robotics mulled IPO in 2019, but the company postponed domestic listing in China. In May 2018, UBTech Robotics closed an $820M Series C round at a $5B post-money valuation. 
  • Despite challenges, we remain bullish on China’s AI industry and consumer robotics market. However, UBTech’s fundamentals deteriorated, capital dried up, and IPO looks risky today.
