On November 5, 2026, Beijing time, Agility Robotics began trading on the US Nasdaq with the common stock ticker AGLT. The company completed its merger with special purpose acquisition company Churchill Capital Corp XI the previous day. Agility describes itself as the first publicly traded company in the US specializing in humanoid robots, with commercial deployments in enterprise settings; this claim of being the 'first' comes from the company's announcement and is not an independent market ranking. The new development confirmed on that day was the commencement of trading, not just the previously announced trading plans.
Entity Renaming and Financing Structure
Upon completion of the merger, the former common stock, warrants, and units of Churchill XI ceased to use their previous trading codes, and the entity was renamed Agility Robotics, Inc. in Delaware. The new company's common stock and warrants are listed under AGLT and AGLTW, respectively. Agility's headquarters are in Salem, Oregon, with offices in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Fremont, California. There is no information provided in the publicly available materials regarding the opening price, closing price, daily price movement, or market capitalization after listing, so this development can only confirm the start of trading and the switch of securities codes.
Agility announced that the merger and related financing brought in approximately $465 million in total capital before transaction fees. The SEC filing on November 2 estimated approximately $465.1 million: $164.1 million from the trust account, $201 million from a private placement led by Foxconn, and an additional $100 million in equity funding previously received. The filing also noted that redeeming shareholders withdrew approximately $261.8 million from the trust account; the total difference between the company's announcement and the regulatory filing is due to rounding, and neither figure represents the net financing amount after fees.
Funding Plans and Existing Deployments
The company states that the proceeds will be used to fulfill customer orders, expand commercial deployments, enhance Digit production capabilities, and continue investment in robotics and physical AI platforms. This outlines the management's allocation of funds and does not serve as proof of completed deployment numbers, production volumes, or R&D achievements; the commencement of securities trading does not automatically alter the terms of customer orders or actual factory output. The company did not disclose the net amount available for various uses after the listing or provide specific allocation ratios among different projects in this announcement.
Agility reports that Digit is currently operational at enterprise clients such as GXO, Schaeffler, and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada. The company claims that Digit has accumulated over 65,000 hours of actual operation and has moved more than 100,000 bins in the deployment at GXO's facility in Georgia, USA. The publicly available materials do not include third-party audits and do not list the number of robots at each customer site, the distribution of operating hours, or the workload per unit, nor do they specify how many units these cumulative figures represent, maintaining the self-reported nature of these metrics.
Order Conditions and Digit 5 Timeline
The company also disclosed that the next-generation Digit 5 has secured over $300 million in multi-year committed orders. However, Agility qualifies that this amount is contingent upon the achievement of contractual milestones and the fulfillment of agreed-upon product features and specifications, and should not be directly interpreted as current revenue, cash received, or completed deliveries. The announcement does not list the relevant customers, the amounts of individual contracts, the timing of revenue recognition, the proportion of conditions met, or the procedures in place if conditions are not met.
According to Agility's timeline, Digit 5 is scheduled to be made available to early customers in the first half of 2027, with the goal of general availability by the end of 2027. The RoboFab factory located in Salem, Oregon, is described as having a design capacity of up to 10,000 robots per year. The former represents future progress targets, while the latter is the facility's design capability; neither represents completed production records. The available materials do not confirm that this production volume has been reached by 2026, nor do they disclose the actual delivery numbers for 2027.
First Publicly Traded Company Scope and Disclosure Boundaries
Regarding its public listing status, Agility's official statements are confined to being a “publicly traded company in the US,” “specializing in humanoid robots,” and having “active commercial deployments.” TechCrunch's public information feed headline uses the broader term “the first purely humanoid robot public company,” but its brief metadata does not provide a global market comparison. To avoid expanding the company's claims into global conclusions, the report adopts the narrower official stance and clearly retains attribution.
Editorial Analysis: Completing the merger and beginning public trading places Agility in a continuous environment of public disclosure regarding subsequent financing usage, order conditions, and mass production progress. However, the listing itself does not substitute for scale delivery or operational validation. Current sources do not provide profitability, unit economics, the total number of deployed robots, the first-day stock price performance, or market capitalization data; over $300 million in orders, a design capacity of up to 10,000 units, and a 2027 timeline cannot be written as already fulfilled performance.
