    Embodied AI investors collectively losing money: 8 of 13 robotics firms that listed in Hong Kong broke issue price

    In the first half of 2026, there were 312 domestic embodied AI financing deals, but 8 of the 13 robotics companies that listed in Hong Kong this year broke their issue price; cornerstone investors in 10 companies invested a combined HK$4.861 billion and had a theoretical net unrealized loss of HK$855 million. The median per-share book return of the final funding round for 12 companies was only 70.4%, and profits would be wiped out if share prices fell another 41%. The institutional holdings of the 13 companies are conservatively estimated at over HK$20.9 billion; 8 of them have average daily turnover of less than HK$20 million, and based on a static estimate of daily sales equal to 20% of turnover, the median time needed to fully exit would be 473 trading days.

    The Industrial Internet Operating System Industry Alliance was established at the Embodied Intelligence Industry Forum of the 2026 Consumer Electronics Innovation Conference. Li Qingxin, a researcher at the Shenyang Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that bringing embodied intelligence into factories requires connecting two business chains—design domain to manufacturing domain, and management domain to control domain—and achieving full-element integration of people, machines, materials, processes, and environment. He said industrial internet operating systems need to meet four core requirements: cross-domain and cross-platform design, trusted task execution, model migration consistency, and adaptation to multiple hardware devices.
