The short version
● Ticker — AGLT on Nasdaq, trading from 5 November 2026
● Raised — about $465 million gross
● Order book — over $300 million committed, for Digit 5
● Catch — Digit 5 does not reach general availability until end 2027
Agility Robotics began trading on Nasdaq under AGLT on 5 November, after its merger with Churchill Capital Corp XI closed. It is described as the first US-listed pure-play humanoid robotics company. The raise came to roughly $465 million gross before transaction expenses: a $201 million PIPE led by Foxconn, $164 million from the SPAC trust, and $100 million raised after the deal was announced.
The commercial record is real but early. More than 100,000 totes moved at GXO's Georgia site, with two more US facilities being added in early 2027; Schaeffler and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada are also customers; three unnamed manufacturers are in paid programs and an AGCO pilot starts in Kansas in 2027. Agility reports more than 65,000 hours of real-world data from nearly three years of deployments, though that figure has not been updated in several months. The pipeline is over 30 prospective customers, which the company expects to pass 100 by the end of 2027.
The order book is the number to hold carefully. More than $300 million in committed multi-year orders sounds decisive until you read the qualifier: subject to milestones, features and specifications, for a robot whose early customer access is expected in the first half of 2027 and general availability at the end of it. On specs, Digit 5 lifts 50 pounds repeatedly — which matches the OSHA single-person lift limit, and is the detail that explains the use case — and a Nyobolt battery supports a ten-to-one work-to-charge ratio, 90 minutes of work to a nine-minute charge. RoboFab in Salem, Oregon, is built for up to 10,000 robots a year, and the company has not said how long one Digit 5 takes to build.
