According to the Chairman&rsquo;s Statement for 2025, the valuation of the investment portfolio of the Beijing Robot Industry Development Investment Fund (Limited Partnership) increased by approximately fourfold. On that basis, the corresponding unrealized book gain is estimated at around RMB 8 billion. The robotics business has therefore become one of the most closely watched sources of incremental upside for Shoucheng Holdings in the near term.</p><p>Based on disclosed projects, Shoucheng Holdings&rsquo; robotics strategy is not a series of isolated bets, but rather a systematic deployment across the industry chain. In the field of embodied intelligence and robotics, the Company has made concentrated investments in more than 20 leading companies, including Unitree Robotics, Noetix Robotics, Galbot, DEEP Robotics, Booster Robotics, and Galaxea AI. In the latest Chairman&rsquo;s Statement, Chairman Zhao Tianyang characterized this approach as &ldquo;track-level deployment&rdquo;.</p><p>Unlike some purely financial investors, Shoucheng Holdings is advancing its robotics business from simply &ldquo;holding equity stakes&rdquo; to &ldquo;operating an industry&rdquo;. Following an integrated path of &ldquo;investment + operations + ecosystem,&rdquo; the Company is building capabilities centered on &ldquo;funds + scenarios + industry chain,&rdquo; providing robotics companies with capital support, application scenarios, supply-chain integration, and commercialization pathways. On the offline channel side, its robotics consumer experience brand, Taozhu New Creation, has established five stores in Beijing, with locations including Shougang Park, Beijing Capital International Airport Terminals 2 and 3, and Wangfujing APM, among other core venues. To date, the Company has signed agreements with nearly 100 robotics companies as authorized agents.</p><p>Market analysts note that the valuation logic for Shoucheng Holdings&rsquo; robotics business is transitioning from book valuations in the primary market toward more observable pricing in the capital markets. As a representative investment within Shoucheng Holdings&rsquo; robotics portfolio, Unitree Robotics&mdash;together with its IPO progress&mdash;provides the market with a clearer anchor for assessing the value of Shoucheng Holdings&rsquo; robotics assets.</p><p>From a longer-term perspective, the data points of &ldquo;more than RMB 2 billion invested, more than 20 companies covered, and portfolio valuation increasing approximately fourfold to around RMB 8 billion&rdquo; already outline the basic contours of Shoucheng Holdings&rsquo; robotics strategy:At the front end, the Company secures leading projects through its funds.In the mid-stage, it accelerates commercialization through channels and service systems.At the back end, it opens up exit and re-rating opportunities through IPOs and capital operations.</p><p>As projects such as Unitree Robotics move into the capital-market spotlight, the book value of Shoucheng Holdings&rsquo; robotics investments, its industrial synergy capabilities, and its subsequent monetization path are becoming increasingly clear.</p><BR /><BR /> Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire.

Looking back at the company&rsquo;s shareholder structure, Shoucheng Holdings introduced multiple rounds of strategic investors during its entrepreneurial and transformation phases. Angel-round investors included Chow Tai Fook Enterprises and ORIX; Series A investors included Hopu, JD.com, and Beijing State-owned Capital Operation and Management Center; while Series B investors included institutions such as Sunshine Insurance. These shareholders supported the company&rsquo;s development for periods ranging from three to five years to as long as seven to eight years, and their gradual exits are, in essence, a normal process of capital rotation during a company&rsquo;s growth.</p><p>More importantly, Zhao Tianyang noted in the statement that most of the shares sold by exiting shareholders were proactively taken up by top-tier international investors and professional institutional investors from both China and overseas. This means that the sell-down pressure that previously troubled the market has largely been absorbed. It also indicates that ownership is shifting from early-stage and purely financial investors to professional institutions with stronger conviction in the company&rsquo;s long-term value proposition, resulting in simultaneous improvements in both shareholder structure and shareholder quality. For the market, this is not only an inflection point in supply-side pressure, but also the basis for a shift in valuation logic.</p><p>Chairman Zhao Tianyang also stated that the company is determined to ensure that investors at different stages can all share in the rewards of the company&rsquo;s growth, further strengthening market expectations for the realization of the company&rsquo;s long-term value.</p><BR /><BR /> Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire.

According to the latest 2025 Chairman&rsquo;s Statement, the Beijing Robotics Industry Development Investment Fund, which the company co-manages, has achieved approximately fourfold growth in portfolio valuation over the past four years, demonstrating strong capabilities in deal sourcing and value realization. At the same time, Shoucheng Holdings has invested in more than 20 leading companies in embodied intelligence and robotics, covering multiple areas including humanoid robots, quadruped robots, medical robotics, and the low-altitude economy, gradually building a relatively comprehensive industry footprint.</p><p>Based on disclosed projects, the company&rsquo;s investment portfolio already includes a number of representative enterprises such as Unitree Robotics, Galbot, Xinghaitu, TowardPi Medical, Volant, and DEEP Robotics. Management has also previously disclosed that the funds under the company&rsquo;s management have cumulatively invested more than RMB 2 billion in the robotics industry, completing over 40 transactions. As the valuations of leading projects continue to rise and exit timelines gradually progress, Shoucheng Holdings is expected to unlock profits in the future through fund distributions, management fees, and carried interest.</p><p>Taking Unitree Robotics, which has submitted a listing application, as an example, based on minimum post-offering dilution calculations, the value of the relevant equity stake held by the Beijing Robotics Fund has increased from approximately RMB 520 million to approximately RMB 1.55 billion, generating about RMB 1 billion in book value appreciation. This also reflects, from another angle, the return potential accumulated by Shoucheng Holdings through its forward-looking positioning in the robotics sector.</p><p>In addition to investment returns, another differentiated advantage of Shoucheng Holdings lies in its ability to combine industrial investment with asset operation capabilities. Leveraging managed scenarios such as parking facilities, industrial parks, and airports, the company can provide portfolio robotics companies with support in product display, testing, energy replenishment, operations and maintenance, and commercialization deployment, gradually forming a closed-loop model of &ldquo;investment + scenarios + operations.&rdquo; This not only helps improve the deployment efficiency of portfolio companies, but also has the potential to enhance the utilization efficiency and commercial conversion capability of the company&rsquo;s assets.</p><p>In terms of shareholder returns, the company proposed a total dividend of HKD 780 million for 2025, corresponding to a dividend yield of approximately 5.6%. While continuing to increase its investment in robotics and embodied intelligence, Shoucheng Holdings has also demonstrated an operating profile that balances growth potential with shareholder returns.</p><BR /><BR /> Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire.

According to the latest 2025 annual results report disclosed by Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK), the company proposes a dividend of 780 million HKD, corresponding to an average annual market value dividend yield of approximately 5.6%. Looking at the long term, since its strategic transformation in 2018, the company has continuously advanced business transformation and structural optimization, leading to steady improvements in profitability and cash flow quality. It has maintained stable dividends for many consecutive years, with a cumulative dividend scale of approximately 6 billion HKD over eight years, shifting the investment logic from "growth expectations" toward "balancing both growth and returns".</p><p>It is noteworthy that this dividend does not rely on high leverage or short-term overdrafts; rather, it is a proactive return built on improved balance sheets, enhanced operating quality, and optimized cash flow. As of December 31, 2025, the company's bank balances and cash stood at 3.671 billion HKD, with total borrowings of 979 million HKD. The cash-to-interest-bearing debt coverage ratio is approximately 3.75 times, demonstrating strong dividend sustainability and a significant financial safety margin.</p><p>Over the past eight years, Shoucheng Holdings has gradually formed a smart infrastructure asset service system centered on parking asset management, industrial space management, REITs investment, and equity investment, constructing a composite model of "operational efficiency + asset management + capital circulation". Mature businesses such as parking and industrial parks continue to provide steady cash flow, serving as the practical foundation for the company's dividends. Meanwhile, REITs investments, the robotics ecosystem, and emerging industry funds further open up space for profit realization and valuation enhancement.</p><p>Among these, the robotics business is becoming a significant incremental driver of Shoucheng Holdings' long-term value. In recent years, the company has continuously refined its robotics layout around "investment + operations + ecosystem," systematically investing in several leading robotics enterprises. Through scenario integration, channel construction, and industrial services, it has pushed projects from technical verification to commercial implementation. As relevant companies accelerate financing, see valuation increases, or move toward IPOs, the robotics segment is expected to continuously strengthen the company's mid-to-long-term profit release and shareholder return capabilities.</p><p>Furthermore, in the latest Chairman's Statement, Chairman Zhao Tianyang explicitly expressed "gratitude" to investors and continued to emphasize "creating long-term value for investors". This statement is not merely a declaration of attitude but sends a clear signal: Shoucheng Holdings is placing shareholder returns and long-termism in a more prominent position. For the market, the significance of eight years of continuous dividends has long transcended a simple profit distribution; it serves as a more certain anchor of confidence for long-term capital amidst complex economic cycles.</p><BR /><BR /> Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire.

On 20 March, the Shanghai Stock Exchange confirmed that Unitree Robotics Co., Ltd. (operating entity: Hangzhou Yushu Technology Co., Ltd.) has received formal acceptance of its STAR Market IPO application, targeting proceeds of RMB 4.202 billion, with review status recorded as "Accepted". This marks Unitree Robotics' official push to become China's first A-share listed humanoid robot company, and signals that the embodied-intelligence industry is transitioning from a theme-driven narrative phase into a new stage of genuine capital-markets realisation.</p><p>From publicly disclosed information, this IPO is not purely a concept re-rating event &mdash; it rests on a foundation of strong earnings growth and capacity expansion. According to the company's prospectus, Unitree Robotics generated revenue of RMB 1.708 billion in 2025, up 335.36% year-on-year; non-GAAP net profit exceeded RMB 600 million, up 674.29% year-on-year. The public offering involves a minimum of 40,446,434 new shares, representing at least 10% of the total post-IPO share count.</p><p>For the capital markets, the most important contribution of Unitree Robotics is that it begins to provide a clearer public-market valuation reference for the humanoid-robotics sector. Reports indicate that Unitree's valuation stood at approximately RMB 5 billion in early 2025, rising to approximately RMB 12 billion by June 2025. The prospectus implies an initial post-IPO market capitalisation of at least RMB 42 billion &mdash; a dramatic leap from the mid-2025 private-market benchmark. For the capital markets, Unitree's listing trajectory carries a clear signal: humanoid robotics is no longer purely a story of "technological imagination" &mdash; it is entering a new phase of revenue, profit, capacity, and capital advancing on all four fronts simultaneously. For the supply chain, this raises the clarity of the sector's valuation anchor; for capital platforms that have invested early in leading robotics companies, it means book values, exit expectations, and business synergies all have room to rise in tandem.</p><p>Among the beneficiary candidates in this cycle, Shoucheng Holdings Limited (HKEX: 0697.HK) stands out for its rarity value. The company has publicly confirmed that, through the Beijing Robotics Industry Development Investment Fund and its affiliated sub-funds, it has invested in Unitree Robotics, Galbot (Beijing Galaxy General Robot Co., Ltd.; X Square Robot , Noetix Robotics, and other leading enterprises. By Q3 2025, the multiple funds it manages had further completed investments in Unitree Robotics, DEEP Robotics / Hangzhou DEEP Robotics Co., Ltd.), Booster Robotics, Differential Robotics / Differential Robotics Technology Inc.), Wuxi Quanzhibo Technology Co., Ltd., and other core robotics supply-chain companies &mdash; covering humanoid robots, aerial robots, and critical upstream components. In short, Shoucheng Holdings is not a single-bet position, but a portfolio-style deployment spanning "leading robot OEMs + upstream critical components + regional fund networks."</p><p>Crucially, Shoucheng Holdings' edge lies not only in "investing" but also in "post-investment value creation." Both the company's 2025 interim report and Q3 report highlight that it is advancing an integrated "Invest + Operate + Ecosystem" pathway centred on "capital + scenarios + supply chain." It has established Shoucheng Robot Technology Industry Co., Ltd. and Shoucheng Robot Advanced Materials Industry Co., Ltd., expanding into sales agency, leasing, consultancy, supply-chain management, and upstream materials. Simultaneously, the company has deployed permanent robot experience stores and pop-up stores at Shougang Park, Beijing Capital International Airport Terminal 3, and Chengdu Chunxi Road, accelerating the transition of robot products from showcase to commercial deployment. For high-volume producers like Unitree Robotics, these venue resources translate into lower trial-and-error costs and faster commercial validation cycles.</p><p>This is also the core reason why the market treats Shoucheng Holdings as a premier Unitree Robotics proxy: it is not a simple secondary-market "reflection" play, but an ecosystem-type platform that combines capital linkages, application venues, and industrial service capabilities. Once Unitree Robotics' IPO advances smoothly, the first beneficiary will be the market recognition of Shoucheng Holdings' existing robotics investment portfolio. With a marquee portfolio company achieving public listing, external investors will find it far easier to mark-to-market the unlisted robotics assets still held by Shoucheng Holdings.</p><p>Market analysts observe that, from a valuation standpoint, the Unitree Robotics IPO represents at least three distinct positive catalysts for Shoucheng Holdings.</p><p>First, the anticipated realisation of investment returns has been significantly enhanced. Shoucheng Holdings holds 3.8262% of Unitree Robotics through the Beijing Robotics Industry Development Investment Fund, placing it among the top ten pre-IPO shareholders. After accounting for dilution from the new share issuance, the post-IPO stake corresponds to approximately 3.44%. Based on an assumed post-IPO market capitalisation of RMB 42 billion, this stake implies a value of approximately RMB 1.446 billion; at market caps of RMB 50 billion and RMB 60 billion, the implied values are approximately RMB 1.722 billion and RMB 2.066 billion respectively. Against the scale of Shoucheng Holdings' net asset base, these figures represent a material incremental contribution and will provide meaningful support to the company's existing valuation framework.</p><p>Second, the platform-level valuation midpoint has scope to re-rate upward. Shoucheng Holdings is not a traditional single-strategy financial investor. Its core business encompasses infrastructure asset operations on one side, and entry into robotics and intelligent manufacturing through funds and an industrial platform on the other. Once the robotics sector has an established public-market valuation anchor, Shoucheng Holdings' entire robotics investment portfolio stands to be re-valued in aggregate.</p><p>Third, the acceleration of robotics ecosystem commercialisation opens a genuine second growth curve. In the past, the market valued robotics concept stocks largely at the level of "equity participation income." But Shoucheng Holdings is actively working to transform robotics into a real operating business. The company has disclosed that it is advancing robot deployment across multiple scenarios &mdash; offline experience stores, airport environments, cultural-tourism parks, and smart car parks &mdash; and is collaborating with industry partners to develop new business formats such as "robotics + automotive." Should Unitree Robotics' brand recognition and fundraising capacity strengthen further post-IPO, Shoucheng Holdings could expand beyond "investment gains" to capture diversified value streams including operating profit-sharing, channel services, scenario services, and supply-chain coordination. At that point, the market's analytical framework for Shoucheng Holdings would graduate from "Unitree Robotics proxy" to "robotics ecosystem infrastructure platform."</p><p>In addition, Shoucheng Holdings' financial structure provides a robust margin of safety for any valuation recovery. The company reported profit attributable to shareholders of HKD 410 million in 2024. Equity attributable to owners of the company stood at HKD 9.421 billion at end-2024. The gearing ratio declined from 15.9% at end-2024 to 10.9% by Q3 2025. In respect of the 2024 financial year, the company declared final dividend and special dividend totalling HKD 888 million, and together with the interim dividend of HKD 208 million, full-year distributions reached HKD 1.096 billion &mdash; exceeding 200% of the year's attributable profit. This combination of strong dividend commitment, low financial leverage, and sustained earnings power positions the stock favourably for capital flows seeking both "growth" and "income" attributes simultaneously.</p><p>Taken as a whole, the formal advancement of the Unitree Robotics IPO process represents one of the most consequential capital-markets events of 2026 for the embodied-intelligence industry. It not only raises the capital-markets certainty for leading robotics companies, but also opens a valuation re-rating window for ecosystem-type platforms like Shoucheng Holdings Limited. As the logic of "flagship project listing &rarr; investment return realisation &rarr; industrial scenario expansion &rarr; platform valuation uplift" progressively unfolds, Shoucheng Holdings is well-positioned to emerge as one of the core beneficiaries of this robotics market cycle &mdash; a company that simultaneously offers a meaningful margin of safety and meaningful upside optionality.</p><BR /><BR /> Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire.
