Agility Robotics becomes first pure-play humanoid robot company to list on Nasdaq

Nov 5, 2026

Agility Robotics listed on Nasdaq on November 5, 2026, under ticker AGLT, becoming the first publicly traded U.S. pure-play humanoid robot company. The listing follows a merger with SPAC Churchill Capital Corp XI, providing $465 million in gross capital. Despite securing over $300 million in orders for its new Digit 5 robot, Agility faces significant financial headwinds after reporting just $1.8 million in 2025 revenue alongside a $138.1 million net loss while competing with rivals Figure AI and Tesla.
