Beijing’s recent tightening of approvals for humanoid robot makers seeking initial public offerings (IPOs) poses no threat to companies with clear commercialisation strategies, as funding channels remain wide open for qualified players, according to Deloitte China.

“Market funds are shifting from the ‘blind rush’ of the past to ‘fine screening’,” said Dick Kay, Deloitte China’s capital market services group national leader, at a press conference on Thursday.

Investors and regulators now placed more weight on whether companies had sustainable revenue growth, core technological barriers and real-world application scenarios, he added.

Chinese regulators have heightened scrutiny of humanoid robot start-ups seeking IPOs on mainland stock exchanges amid concerns over excessive market hype, according to media reports.

The shift came after robot maker Unitree Robotics saw its shares slump 55 per cent from their peak – wiping well over US$30 billion off the company’s value – less than a month after its blockbuster IPO on the tech-heavy Star Market in August.

Six mega IPOs by artificial intelligence and robotics firms were launched on mainland Chinese markets during the first three quarters of 2026, and a wave of other hi-tech firms is reportedly pushing to go public.

More than 500 companies have applied to list in Hong Kong, with the total estimated to exceed 600 once confidential listings are taken into account, according to Edward Au Chung-hing, Deloitte China’s southern region managing partner.

But Kay stressed that for companies with “genuine strength and a clear commercialisation path, capital market financing channels remain open”.

Au emphasised that Hong Kong’s growth momentum would stay robust, fuelled by a strong pipeline of mega listings, policy incentives for dual mainland and Hong Kong listings, and massive fundraising demand from mainland enterprises.

Liquidity still exists, but volatility could arise if US rate hikes exceed expectations

Deloitte has raised its full-year 2026 IPO fundraising forecast for Hong Kong to HK$480 billion – a record high and a 60 per cent jump from its June estimate of HK$300 billion.

Au said that despite valuation swings in AI shares this year, valuations of AI companies – beyond chips and large-language models – had risen and come in higher than expected. With optimistic market views on AI valuations and a strong new listing pipeline in Hong Kong, Deloitte’s fundraising projection could even be exceeded, he added.

Hong Kong might see three to four mega listings in the fourth quarter, each raising HK$10 billion or more, according to Au.

Still, this would depend on the pace of large listings and market windows, and investors should watch out for US interest rate increases and potential black swan events, he cautioned.

The US’ Nasdaq leads the world in terms of IPO fundraising so far this year, with the equivalent of HK$1.1 trillion (US$140 billion) raised as of the end of September, according to Deloitte estimates. Hong Kong ranks second with HK$387.9 billion raised, followed by the New York Stock Exchange on HK$163.2 billion.

When asked about whether Hong Kong has sufficient liquidity, Au said Alibaba Group Holding and Z.ai recently raised large amounts of capital, showing Hong Kong could absorb the wave of AI financing.

“Liquidity still exists, but volatility could arise if US rate hikes exceed expectations,” he noted.

Alibaba owns the South China Morning Post.
