Dongguan Securities says GRGBanking's profit quality is improving, with promising prospects in AI robotics, digital yuan, and computing power. The company posted a 9.16% year-on-year decline in first-half 2026 net profit to 423 million yuan, yet it remains China's top intelligent financial equipment vendor for 18 straight years.
In three months, Gongzhi Ocean, Deep Sea Sapien, and Shihang Intelligent raised angel and Series A funding, signaling a dense financing period for deep-sea robotics. Investors are focusing less on dive depth and more on operation costs, data barriers, and domestic core component autonomy.
On Sept. 14, 2026, China's A-share indices fell, but the CSI Robot Index rose 0.35% and Robot ETF Huaxia traded against the trend as robot skin moved out of the lab, drawing attention to robotics commercialization.
After the 2025 startup boom, embodied AI funding in 2026 is concentrating on top projects with clear commercialization paths, with over 2 billion yuan flowing into the sector in two months and home robotics attracting major attention.
Deep-sea embodied AI robot company Gongzhi Ocean has closed an angel round of nearly 100 million yuan, backed by investors including Zhongxin Zhidi, Lihe Finance, and Yinfeng Capital. The deal follows recent large financings for other deep-sea robotics firms such as Shihang Intelligent and Shenhai Zhiren.
Xieyue Intelligence has raised hundreds of millions of yuan in an Angel+ round backed by Linear Capital, Junshan Capital, Hongyi Capital and Hidden Hill Capital, according to The Paper. The company will use the funds for embodied foundation models, compute and data infrastructure, team expansion, and home robot development.
