YY Group Shares Spike as Humanoid Robot Plans Unveiled
YY Group Holding Limited surged Wednesday after the Singapore-based outsourcing firm said it would start using Unitree humanoid robots and collect training data from cleaning and maintenance jobs to feed automation. The stock rallied as traders repositioned YYGH as a robotics and AI data story, moving beyond its identity as a cheap labor provider. Shares were last up $0.039 at $0.165, after swinging between $0.13 and $0.22, with more than 295 million shares changing hands. YYGH jumped 52.91% to $0.19 in after-hours after a robot launch headline, Benzinga reported Tuesday. The stock had ended the regular session at $0.13. The move followed the company’s humanoid-robotics announcement.
