Agility Robotics, the maker of the Digit humanoid robot, began trading on the Nasdaq on November 5, 2026, under the ticker AGLT after combining with the special-purpose acquisition company Churchill Capital Corp XI, according to The Robot Report. The publication calls Agility the first U.S. developer of legged humanoid robots to go public.

Trading debut

  • The Robot Report says shares opened at $11.26, above the $10 per-share price used in the deal, and were trading at $10.30 at the time of its first article.
  • A separate Robot Report item dated November 5, which Lens saw only as a headline summary, says the shares closed their first session at $11.49, about 2% above the opening price.
  • A headline on the same site puts the SPAC transaction at $2.5 billion and says Churchill XI shareholders approved it. Lens did not read that article.

Proceeds

According to The Robot Report, the transaction brought in about $465 million gross before expenses: roughly $164 million from Churchill XI’s trust account after redemptions, $201 million from a private placement led by Foxconn and $100 million from a funding round that closed after the SPAC was announced.

What Agility said

Agility CEO Peggy Johnson is quoted as saying: “AI is moving beyond the digital world and into the physical world.” She also said: “Digit is doing real work in customer operations today.” The Robot Report reports that Digit has logged more than 65,000 hours of operation across nine customer facilities. The article does not give a count of robots deployed. It also quotes executives of two other robotics companies, Persona AI and FORT Robotics, praising Agility.

What the report does not include

The first article does not report the first-day closing price, a company valuation or Agility’s revenue.

Sources and notes

This post is based on The Robot Report’s article by Steve Crowe, published November 5, 2026, and on that site’s headline summaries for related items. Lens did not read Agility’s filings or the SPAC proxy, and the figures are as The Robot Report stated them. Share prices change continuously, and Lens did not check today’s price.
