Humanoid Robot Maker Agility Starts Trading on Nasdaq

Agility Robotics began trading on the Nasdaq on Thursday. The Oregon company is the first in the United States devoted solely to humanoid robots to list on a public stock exchange.

Shares trade under the ticker AGLT. They opened at $11.26, above the $10 price used in the deal that took the company public. The stock was at $10.30 later in the morning, according to The Robot Report.

The listing follows the close on Wednesday of Agility’s merger with Churchill Capital Corp XI, a special purpose acquisition company. Shareholders approved the deal on Monday, with more than 84 percent of votes cast in favor. The deal brought in about $465 million before expenses, at a valuation of about $2.5 billion.

Agility makes Digit, a two-legged robot built to move totes and tend machines in warehouses and factories. The robot stands 5 feet 9 inches tall and can lift 35 pounds. It works in spaces built for people, without the safety cages most industrial robots need.

Real work, thin revenue

Digit has logged more than 65,000 hours of work at nine customer sites, the company said. Customers include GXO Logistics, Schaeffler, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada, AGCO and Mercado Libre. At GXO, Digit robots have moved more than 100,000 totes.

The money coming in is still small. Agility reported $1.78 million in revenue in 2025, up from $310,000 the year before, and a net loss of $138.1 million. In the first half of this year, revenue fell 72 percent to $174,000, and the company recorded an operating loss of $362.7 million.

The company sells Digit as a subscription, a model it calls robot-as-a-service. Customers pay for the work the robots do instead of buying the machines outright.

The bet is on the next robot

Agility has more than $300 million in committed multi-year orders for Digit 5, its next-generation robot, unveiled in September. The orders are subject to milestones and product specifications. Early customer access is expected in the first half of 2027, with general availability targeted for the end of that year.

Digit 5 stands 5 feet 11 inches and weighs 284 pounds. It can lift 50 pounds and reach shelves 7.2 feet high. When a person gets too close, it stops, sits down and cuts power to its motors. Its battery charges in nine minutes and runs for 90, giving it more than 20 hours of work a day, the company said.

The money raised will go toward expanding production at RoboFab, Agility’s 70,000-square-foot factory in Salem, Oregon. The plant is built to produce up to 10,000 robots a year.

Agility spun out of Oregon State University in 2015. The company is led by chief executive Peggy Johnson. Foxconn led a $201 million private investment in the company, and Nvidia is among its backers.

“Digit is doing real work in customer operations today, taking on repetitive, physically demanding tasks,” Johnson said in a statement.
