Agility Robotics lists on Nasdaq as AGLT, the first US-listed pure-play humanoid maker
Agility Robotics began trading on Nasdaq on 5 November under the ticker AGLT after merging with Churchill Capital Corp XI. The deal valued the humanoid maker at $2.5 billion pre-money and raised about $465 million in gross proceeds, including a Foxconn-led private placement.
Agility Robotics started trading on Nasdaq on Thursday, 5 November 2026, under the ticker AGLT, describing itself as the first US-listed company focused solely on humanoid robots. It reached the market through a merger with the special-purpose acquisition company Churchill Capital Corp XI instead of a traditional IPO.
The transaction valued Agility at $2.5 billion before new investment and brought in roughly $465 million in gross proceeds, combining about $164 million from the SPAC trust, around $201 million from a Foxconn-led PIPE priced at $10 per share and $100 million of equity already received. Shareholders approved the deal on 2 November and it closed on 4 November.
Shares opened at $11.26 and closed the first session at $11.51, up 2.2 per cent, on a day when the Nasdaq fell 5.5 per cent. Agility's Digit robot is deployed at GXO, Schaeffler and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada, and the company cites more than $300 million in multi-year Digit 5 orders, though some coverage notes early revenue remains thin.
Why it matters
A public listing gives humanoid robotics a price signal and a source of capital beyond venture rounds, and it will expose commercial traction to quarterly scrutiny.
The Foxconn-led investment also underlines how manufacturers see humanoids as a logistics and factory tool rather than a laboratory curiosity.
Indicops view
Indian manufacturers and logistics operators should track Agility's disclosures for real deployment economics: cost per robot, uptime and tasks completed. Those numbers, not demos, will show whether warehouse humanoid pilots are worth running alongside existing automation.
