AGILITY ROBOTICS SIGNS $2.5 BILLION SPAC DEAL TO BECOME THE FIRST HUMANOID ROBOT COMPANY ON A US STOCK EXCHANGE Agility Robotics signed a merger agreement with Churchill Capital XI to go public at a $2.5 billion valuation. The deal would make Agility the first pure-play humanoid robotics company listed on a US exchange, trading under the ticker AGLT. Foxconn is leading a $200 million PIPE to backstop the deal, and Amazon and NVIDIA are among the existing investors staying in. Agility makes a bipedal robot called Digit designed to work in logistics warehouses alongside human workers. It is not a prototype or a demo reel. GXO deployed Digits at its facility in Flowery Branch, Georgia where the robots moved more than 100,000 totes — the most documented commercial deployment hours for a humanoid robot anywhere in the world. Other customers include Schaeffler, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada, and Mercado Libre. The company claims more than $300 million in committed multi-year orders for the Digit v5 platform. A SPAC deal is not an IPO in the traditional sense and carries less of the disclosure a direct listing would require. That is worth noting when evaluating how firm those order commitments actually are. Still, a $2.5 billion valuation for a company with real deployed units in real warehouses with real customers is a different story than most robotics ventures. The deal is expected to close before the end of 2026. Keywords: Agility Robotics IPO SPAC, humanoid robot stock, Digit robot 2026, AI robotics funding
