Humanoid robots are about to get a stock ticker of their own. Agility Robotics, the Oregon company behind the Digit warehouse humanoid, is expected to start trading on Nasdaq on November 5, 2026, under the symbol AGLT, with warrants as AGLTW.
The listing follows a merger with Churchill Capital Corp XI, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). The deal and its related financing are expected to close on November 4, subject to closing conditions, the companies said.
Shareholders said yes
Churchill XI shareholders approved the deal and all related proposals at a special meeting on November 2, with more than 84% of votes cast in favour. According to a filing with the SEC, the SPAC has already moved its incorporation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware, and the continuing company has been renamed Agility Robotics, Inc.
The money, and the gap
Agility expects about $465 million in gross capital before expenses. That is made up of roughly $164 million from the SPAC’s trust account, a $201 million share placement (PIPE) at $10 per share led by Foxconn, and $100 million of equity funding already received.
That is well below the plan. When the deal was announced in June, at a $2.5 billion pre-money equity value, it was expected to bring in more than $620 million, including $420 million from the trust if no investors redeemed. Many did: the SEC filing shows about $261.8 million, roughly 61.5% of the SPAC’s Class A shares, withdrawn by shareholders who chose cash over stock in the new company.
What investors are actually buying
Unlike many humanoid startups, Agility has paying customers. As of June, Digit had deployment commitments across nine customer facilities, including Schaeffler, GXO, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada and Mercado Libre, TechCrunch reported. The company also says it has more than $300 million of multi-year orders for its next robot, Digit v5, subject to contractual milestones, and more than 30 prospective customers in its pipeline.
That is real traction, but still early. Nine facilities is a pilot-scale business, and the stock will trade largely on expectations of what comes next.
Agility describes itself as set to become the only U.S.-listed pure-play humanoid company with active commercial deployments. The Foxconn-led PIPE is the detail worth watching: a contract manufacturer putting in money signals interest in building humanoids at volume, and cost is the battle Agility must win against Tesla’s Optimus, Figure and a fast-moving Chinese humanoid industry.
RoviVox View
AGLT turns humanoid robotics from a private-market story into a daily public price. Every deployment, delay and rival demo will now show up on a chart, bringing transparency and pressure in equal measure.
The heavy redemptions are a reminder that public investors are more cautious than the hype suggests. If the stock holds up, expect other humanoid makers to follow Agility onto public markets. If it slides, it will be read as a verdict on the whole sector, fairly or not.
The first data point arrives on November 5.
