A Look At Ubtech Robotics (SEHK:9880) Valuation After Airbus And Texas Instruments Humanoid Robot Deals

Ubtech Robotics (SEHK:9880) is back in focus after securing an Airbus order for its Walker S2 humanoid robots, following last year’s Texas Instruments deal and reporting over CN¥1.4b in humanoid robot orders for 2025.

See our latest analysis for Ubtech Robotics.

The Airbus order and pending acquisition circular come after a strong run in the stock, with a 30 day share price return of 27.19% and a 1 year total shareholder return of about 2.4x. This suggests momentum has picked up recently following a more moderate 90 day share price return of 8.53%.

If Ubtech’s humanoid robot deals have caught your attention, it could be a good moment to see what else is happening across high growth tech and AI stocks as the sector evolves.

With a 1-year total return of roughly 2.4x and fresh humanoid orders on the table, are you looking at a stock still playing catch up to its potential, or one where the market is already pricing in future growth?

Price-to-Sales of 45.2x: Is it justified?

Ubtech is trading on a P/S of 45.2x, while the last close sits at HK$145. This puts a clear spotlight on how rich the current valuation looks against peers.

P/S compares the company’s market value to its revenue. A higher multiple usually reflects strong expectations for future sales relative to what the business generates today.

For Ubtech, the 45.2x P/S is far above both the Hong Kong Machinery industry average of 0.8x and the estimated fair P/S ratio of 5.9x. That is a wide gap, and one that points to the market assigning a premium far above sector norms, as well as above where the fair ratio analysis suggests it could eventually settle.

However, there are still clear risks, including Ubtech’s reported CN¥1,020.884m net loss and a valuation that leaves little room for disappointment if order momentum slows.
