Agility Robotics Goes Public on Nasdaq as First U.S. Pure-Play Humanoid Robotics Company

Agility Robotics goes public

Agility Robotics began trading on Nasdaq on November 5, 2026, as the first U.S. publicly listed pure-play humanoid robotics company with active commercial deployments, according to the company. Its common stock and warrants trade under the symbols "AGLT" and "AGLTW." The listing followed completion of a business combination with Churchill Capital Corp XI, a special purpose acquisition company.

The business combination and related financings raised about $465 million in gross capital before transaction expenses. That total includes proceeds from Churchill Capital Corp XI's trust account, a private investment in public equity led by Foxconn, and equity funding Agility received before the merger closed. Nvidia, Amazon and SoftBank Vision Fund 2 are also backers.

Digit robots and customers

Agility's Digit humanoid robots are already operating with customers including GXO, Schaeffler and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada. At a GXO logistics facility in Georgia, Digit robots have moved more than 100,000 totes. The company has more than 65,000 hours of real-world operation and more than $300 million in committed multi-year orders for its next-generation robot, Digit 5, subject to contractual milestones, product features and specifications.

Agility is expanding its partnership with GXO to deploy Digit at two additional U.S. logistics facilities in early 2027. AGCO has signed an agreement for a Digit pilot expected to begin in 2027, and Agility has more than 30 prospective customers in its pipeline.

Pricing and financials

Agility outlined an illustrative pricing model for Digit 5 in an SEC-filed investor presentation. The robot-as-a-service deployment fee is approximately $25,000, with a monthly fee of approximately $8,500. Customers can purchase the robot outright for approximately $200,000, plus a deployment fee of approximately $20,000 and an annual software and maintenance fee of approximately $36,000. These figures are company modeling assumptions, not a publicly available price list or independently confirmed customer-paid prices.

Agility generated approximately $1.8 million in revenue during 2025 while reporting a net loss of approximately $138.1 million. In the first half of 2026, the company generated approximately $174,000 in revenue, compared with approximately $625,000 during the same period in 2025, and reported an operating loss of approximately $362.7 million. Cash and equivalents were approximately $14.7 million on June 30, 2026.

Why it matters

Agility's public listing gives investors and industry observers a publicly traded company focused specifically on commercial humanoid robotics, with regular public financial reporting requirements. Its competitors, including Tesla, Figure AI and Boston Dynamics, remain privately held. The company plans to use the proceeds to fulfill customer orders, expand commercial deployments, scale production of its Digit robot and advance its robotics and physical AI platform.
