Yushu Technology debuted on Shanghai’s STAR Market today at an issue price of 150.8 yuan, implying a post-issue market value of about 61 billion yuan. Based on 2025 estimates the IPO implies roughly 219x P/E and 36x P/S. Retail subscriptions exceeded 8,000x. Pre-listing offshore private trading priced the stock about 176% above the issue price, with derivatives priced even more aggressively, indicating initial trading is focused on the scarcity value of a leading humanoid-robot name.
