Agility Robotics to go public on Nasdaq as first US humanoid-focused company
Agility Robotics is taking humanoid robots public in a first for Wall Street
Agility Robotics is expected to begin trading on Nasdaq under the ticker AGLT after completing a merger with Churchill Capital Corp XI. The Oregon-based startup, known for its Digit humanoid robots deployed in warehouses and factories, reported $1.8 million in revenue and a $138.1 million net loss for 2025. The company, backed by investors including Amazon, Foxconn, Nvidia, SoftBank, and DCVC, values its existing equity at approximately $2.5 billion. CEO Peggy Johnson noted that being first allows the company to set customer metrics for humanoid robots. Analysts highlight a valuation gap between Agility and privately held rivals like Figure AI ($39B) and Apptronik ($5.5B), attributing it to Agility's actual deployments versus future bets. The listing occurs as US regulators tighten restrictions on foreign-made advanced robotic devices, potentially favoring domestic manufacturers.
