On the news front, Tesla's official Weibo account announced earlier this month that the third-generation humanoid robot, Optimus V3, is set to debut. A research report from China Securities (CSC) noted that the ongoing promotion of Optimus V3 suggests focusing on high-quality segments. Looking ahead for the sector, key catalysts to watch include the Gen3 project awards, new product launches, robot performances at the Spring Festival Gala, and progress in IPOs for domestic robotics companies. The report recommends concentrating on premium segments at the current low point, emphasizing certainty and core advancements such as dexterous hands. Earlier, Industrial Securities released a report stating that, leveraging its technical expertise in motors, Johnson Electric Holdings has entered the humanoid robot components sector, collaborating with well-known humanoid robot manufacturers both domestically and internationally.

Johnson Electric and Shanghai Electric Machinery have a long history of cooperation, with complementary strengths in product design, manufacturing, and sales channels. The joint venture is expected to drive explosive growth in the humanoid robot components business in the future.
