Overview Unitree Robotics has set the base valuation for its STAR Market IPO at roughly 42 billion yuan, about $6.2 billion, with price inquiries on August 5, subscriptions on August 10 and an expected listing around August 19. The debate over that number has turned white hot. Bulls point to 2025 revenue of 1.708 billion yuan, up 335%, a 60.27% gross margin and adjusted net profit of 600 million yuan, making Unitree essentially the only humanoid robotics company profitable every year since 2020,

Overview For anyone tracking the first humanoid robotics stock, the practical question has narrowed to one thing, when Unitree shares can actually be bought. The officially confirmed timetable runs as follows: preliminary price inquiries on August 5, the offer price set on August 6, online and offline subscriptions on August 10, and final results published on August 14. The formal trading date has not yet been announced by the Shanghai Stock Exchange, though industry expectations cited by local

Overview Unitree's offer price lands on August 6, and it may be the most closely watched pricing moment on China's A-share market in 2026. Based on the disclosed offering plan, the company intends to sell 40.4464 million new shares to raise roughly 4.2 billion yuan, implying a reference price near 104 yuan per share and a post-IPO base valuation around 42 billion yuan (about $6.2 billion). Almost nobody expects the stock to stay there. ChangXin Memory's 466% first-day surge on the STAR Market on

Overview The countdown on when Unitree Robotics will go public has entered its final stretch. The Hangzhou-based robot maker formally launched its STAR Market issuance process late on July 30, with preliminary price inquiries set for August 5, online and offline subscriptions opening simultaneously on August 10, and final results published on August 14. Per industry expectations cited by local outlets including 21st Century Business Herald, the actual listing may take place around August 19, tho

Overview The Reserve Bank of India announces its monetary policy decision on Wednesday, 5 August at 10 am IST, with Governor Sanjay Malhotra holding a post-policy press conference at 12 pm. The reason markets are watching is not the rate itself, since most economists expect the repo rate to stay at 5.25% for a fourth consecutive meeting, but how the central bank explains a deteriorating inflation picture. India's CPI accelerated to 4.38% year over year in June, the highest since December 2024 an

Overview The Reserve Bank of Australia announces its August cash rate decision on Tuesday, 11 August at 2:30 pm AEST, published alongside the quarterly Statement on Monetary Policy, with Governor Michele Bullock holding a press conference at 3:30 pm. What makes this meeting worth watching is not the 25 basis points themselves but its position within the broader divergence among central banks in 2026. The RBA has raised the cash rate three consecutive times since February, from 3.60% to 4.35%, th

Overview The Bureau of Labor Statistics releases the July employment report on Friday, August 7 at 8:30 a.m. ET, the most consequential labor market reading before the September FOMC meeting. The reason markets care is direct. The Fed held rates at 3.50% to 3.75% on July 29 in an unusual 9 to 3 vote, with three regional presidents pushing for an immediate quarter point hike, meaning cuts are barely in the pricing at all. June payrolls, meanwhile, rose just 57,000 against a consensus near 115,000

Overview Circle reports second quarter 2026 results on Wednesday, August 5, with a live video webcast at 8 a.m. ET. The timing matters, since it lands 90 minutes before the US market opens and takes the form of a video webcast rather than a traditional audio-only call. For anyone holding CRCL stock or USDC exposure, this session carries an unusually heavy load for an earnings event. Consensus calls for revenue near $720 million and EPS of about $0.165, but Zacks notes the market expects a year-o

Overview When Circle reports second quarter results before the open on August 5, the question is no longer whether it is growing but whether growth has peaked. Consensus calls for roughly $720 million in revenue and earnings of about $0.165 per share, but the more revealing number is supply. USDC circulation ended the second quarter near $73 billion, down from $77 billion at the end of the first quarter, a sequential decline. Circle's stock closed at $61.36 on July 29, far below earlier highs, w

Overview The stablecoin contest has moved out of crypto and into the core infrastructure of the global payments system. On July 9, Swift, the bank owned messaging network that has connected more than 11,500 financial institutions for 53 years, announced that its blockchain based shared ledger is ready for use, with an initial 17 banks across six continents, including Citi, HSBC, UBS, BNP Paribas, Standard Chartered, Wells Fargo, BNY and DBS, set to pilot round the clock cross border payments usi
