## Summary

The article analyzes how AgiBot, under IDC's methodology, took the No. 1 spot in global humanoid robot shipments in the first half of this year, yet faces a postponed Hong Kong listing that is almost impossible to achieve within the year. AgiBot is reported to have started a new funding round of 1 billion to 1.5 billion yuan at a valuation of about 50 billion yuan; under HKEX rules, if the deal closes within the year, the earliest listing would be in the first quarter of 2027.
