Agility Robotics starts trading on the Nasdaq today as the first humanoid-robot company to go public in the US — a $2.5 billion valuation, $465 million raised, and 2025 revenue of just $1.8 million against a $138 million loss. Digit rings the bell. The clapper is tiny.Zimbo for AI News Page

The story behind the cartoon

Agility Robotics begins trading on the Nasdaq on Thursday under the ticker AGLT, becoming the first dedicated humanoid-robot company to go public in the United States, Bloomberg reported. The listing follows the November 4 close of its merger with Churchill Capital Corp XI, a blank-check company, which values Agility's existing equity at about $2.5 billion and is expected to deliver roughly $465 million in gross proceeds.

The company's flagship robot, Digit, is a two-legged warehouse machine deployed at nine customer facilities, including sites run by Amazon, Toyota and the logistics group GXO, and Agility says it holds more than $300 million in committed multi-year orders for its newer Digit 5 model. Investors backing the listing include Amazon, Foxconn, Nvidia and SoftBank.

The filings behind the listing show how early the business still is: Agility booked just $1.8 million of revenue in 2025 against a net loss of $138.1 million, and more than half of that revenue came from five robots bought by a single investor. First Digit 5 deliveries are targeted for the first half of 2027.

The joke is the bell: a proud little robot rings a giant gold $2.5 billion bell while traders cheer — but the clapper doing all the work is a tiny yellow box marked $1.8M SALES.
