Agility Robotics is taking humanoid robots public in a first for Wall Street

The Oregon startup, whose humanoid robots carry heavy materials in factories and warehouses, is expected to begin trading on Nasdaq on Thursday.

Agility Robotics plans to take its humanoid robots public, marking a historic moment on Wall Street. The Oregon-based startup will begin trading on Nasdaq under the ticker AGLT on Thursday, becoming the first company focused on humanoid robots to go public in the United States. Agility's CEO, Peggy Johnson, highlighted that the company's deployment of robots in factories, warehouses, and other facilities positions it uniquely in the industry.

However, Agility's financials paint a stark reality for the humanoid robot market: the company reported only $1.8 million in revenue and a $138.1 million net loss in 2025, despite receiving orders worth over $300 million for its newest robot, Digit 5. Agility is expected to incur further losses and higher operating expenses in the foreseeable future.

The company's valuation of $2.5 billion is significantly lower than that of private humanoid rivals such as Figure AI, Apptronik, and Neura Robotics. Agility's listing comes amid tightening regulations on foreign-made robots in the US, potentially giving domestic manufacturers an advantage in the humanoid robot market.
