Shares of UBTech Robotics jumped on Monday after the Chinese robotics maker said Airbus SE had purchased its humanoid robots to use in aircraft manufacturing plants.

The Hong Kong-listed stock closed 8.6% higher, reaching its highest level in more than three months.

In a statement posted on Sunday, UBTech said that it will jointly expand applications of humanoid robots in aviation manufacturing with Airbus.

The two companies did not disclose the terms of the deal.

The partnership with the plane maker followed a similar deal the company struck last year with U.S. chip company Texas Instruments.

Shenzhen-based UBTech has also expanded the use of its robots to auto, electronics and smart logistics manufacturing.

The company said total orders of its robots exceeded 1.4 billion yuan, equivalent to about $200 million, last year, with production set to reach 10,000 units in 2026.

Investors have flocked to Chinese robotics stocks recently amid rising optimism over innovation and AI adoption in the sector.

The Hang Seng China A Robotics Index--a key industry benchmark--was up over 60% in 2025, outpacing the broader Hang Seng Index, which rose close to 28%.
