Unitree’s Market Value Shrinks by 200 Billion Yuan in a Week Post-IPO
When Unitree (688836.SH) hit the market on August 19, its stock price soared to 1,100 yuan per share right at the opening bell, pushing its total market value to 444.9 billion yuan. That set a scorching record for new listings under the registration system, with the lucky holders of one lot briefly seeing paper gains of nearly 475,000 yuan.
But after several straight days of pullback, the stock closed at 591.53 yuan on August 26, down 1.87% on the day. That puts its market cap at roughly 239.3 billion yuan—meaning it shed over 200 billion yuan in just one week.

Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and Dell All Raise Prices
The explosive demand for AI computing power has sent memory chip prices through the roof, and that upstream cost pressure is now hitting consumers at the checkout. Amazon recently bumped up prices across several hardware products. The biggest jump came from its best-selling entry-level Echo smart speaker, which went from $49.99 to $79.99—roughly 538 yuan—a hike of about 60%. The 16GB base model of its e-reader also climbed from $109.99 to $149.99, around 1,000 yuan, a 36% increase.
Before Amazon made its move, Apple, Microsoft, and Dell had already been wrestling with cost pressures by raising prices or trimming baseline memory specs on their hardware. Market research firm IDC has warned that the global memory shortage could stretch all the way into 2027, and industry forecasts suggest chip prices might only peak in 2028 before gradually settling back down.
