SALEM, Ore. — Agility Robotics began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market on November 5 under the ticker AGLT, becoming the first U.S. publicly listed pure-play humanoid robotics company. The listing closed out a business combination with blank-check company Churchill Capital Corp XI and brought in approximately $465 million in gross capital, including a private investment in public equity led by Foxconn and $100 million in equity funding secured before closing.
By the numbers
The public debut arrives on thin commercial results. Agility reported just $174,000 in revenue for the first half of 2026, mostly from related parties, against a net loss of $362 million over the same period. Against that, the company points to more than $300 million in committed multi-year orders for its next robot, Digit 5, from a pipeline of over 30 prospective customers, and nine paying customers so far, including GXO, Schaeffler, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada and Mercado Libre. At GXO’s Georgia warehouse, Digit has moved more than 100,000 totes, and Agility says its robots have logged more than 65,000 hours of real-world operation across customer sites.
Production capacity is the other half of the pitch. Agility’s RoboFab facility in Salem, Oregon — 70,000 square feet — is built for annual output of up to 10,000 robots, backed by additional space in Fremont, California and a Pittsburgh expansion. Digit 5, unveiled in September 2026, is designed to lift up to 50 pounds repetitively, runs on a Nyobolt battery pack that recharges in nine minutes, and uses Nvidia’s IGX Thor compute platform. Early customer access is targeted for the first half of 2027, with general availability by year-end 2027.
“Today marks an important milestone for Agility, but the bigger story is what it means for the future of work. AI is moving beyond the digital world and into the physical world.”
Peggy Johnson, CEO of Agility Robotics
Agility’s own forward-looking disclosures caveat the $300 million order figure as subject to contractual milestones and product specifications, and executives have declined to say whether the $465 million raised will make the company self-sustaining. The listing still marks a milestone for the humanoid sector: a path to public capital markets that rivals including Figure, Apptronik and Unitree have not yet taken in the U.S.
