   JPMorgan Upgrades Unitree from Underweight to Overweight, Raises Target Price to 995 Yuan

   On October 25, JPMorgan released a research report directly raising Unitree Technology's rating by two notches from Underweight to Overweight, and raised its December 2027 target price from 300 yuan to 995 yuan, about 59% above the October 23 closing price of 624 yuan. The bank said that Wang Xingxing stated at the 2026 World Physical AI Conference that physical AI has shown signs of a breakthrough, and the breakthrough window may fall in the next 1 to 2 years or 2 to 3 years, earlier than the previous judgment that it could take up to 10 years. On sales forecasts, the 2026 humanoid robot sales assumption remains at 14,163 units, 2027 is raised from 26,226 units to 31,701 units, 2028 is raised from 41,552 units to 111,554 units, and the 2028 global market share forecast is raised from 8% to 21%.

   Unitree's Wang Xingxing: Physical AI May Reach a Tipping Point Within One to Two Years; GPT-6 Has Been Deployed to Robots with Zero Training

   Wang Xingxing, CEO of Unitree Robotics, said at the 2026 World Physical AI Conference that physical AI is already showing signs of being broken through, and that this is very likely to happen within the next one to two years. He also revealed that GPT-6 has been deployed to Unitree robots with completely zero training, enabling them to autonomously paint, play chess, and find kitchen tools. He proposed that the industry is moving toward the "ChatGPT moment of embodied intelligence," in which robots can complete about 80% of tasks in 80% of unfamiliar scenarios according to voice or text instructions, and that a Physical AI Robot Self-Evolution V1.0 is in preliminary research. Since its release in May 2024, Unitree G1 has cumulatively produced and rolled off the line about 10,000 to 20,000 units.

   Physical AI flooded weekend headlines: JPM upgrades Unitree rating, Nomura says robot training compute can be reduced 1000x

   JPMorgan upgraded Unitree's rating from Underweight to Overweight, raising its 2028 humanoid robot sales forecast from about 41,600 units to 111,600 units, while the 2026 forecast remains at about 14,200 units. Nomura, citing SuperMimic research, said that training a single H100 for three hours outperforms the previous SONIC checkpoint that consumed about 21,000 GPU hours, but this reduction applies only to specific motion control training tasks. On data collection, experts say that wearing a device to collect data for eight hours a day may yield only one to two hours of usable data after filtering.
