AGIBOT reported raising new round at ~50B yuan valuation, delaying IPO
Citing Caijing magazine, reports say embodied-AI company AGIBOT recently opened a new funding round of roughly 1–1.5 billion yuan that is nearing completion, at a latest valuation of about 50 billion yuan. Investors said Hong Kong Exchange rules require a company that raises money after filing but before listing to wait 120 days after the round closes, meaning AGIBOT cannot complete an IPO this year. AGIBOT was founded in 2023 and said on Sept. 24 that its 20,000th embodied-AI robot rolled off the line; a Counterpoint Research report put global humanoid robot shipments in the first half of 2026 above 22,000 units, up nearly 300% year on year, with AGIBOT first at 9,700 units and over 43% share, and the top five all Chinese vendors at 86% combined.
If confirmed, the round would put AGIBOT among the most valuable embodied-AI companies and signal continued private-market appetite for general-purpose robotics.
