Unitree Robotics stock surged nearly two-thirds since mid-October 2026, pushing market value past 271.8 billion yuan ($40.8 billion), after founder Wang Xingxing claimed at an Oct. 22 conference that large AI models will break through physical AI within one to three years and that OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra can already direct robots with zero training. JPMorgan's upgrade to overweight on Oct. 26 further boosted investor sentiment.
