Agility Robotics is expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq on Thursday under the ticker AGLT following a completed merger with Churchill Capital Corp XI, a special-purpose acquisition company led by Michael Klein. Business Insider reports that the Oregon-based startup is the first company focused on humanoid robots to go public in the United States.

The company's financial disclosures indicate that Agility Robotics reported $1.8 million in revenue for 2025 and a net loss of $138.1 million. Business Insider notes that more than half of this revenue was generated from five robots purchased by a single investor.
