Agility becomes first pure-play humanoid robot company to go public via SPAC, targeting $465 million
Agility is going public through a reverse merger via a SPAC to raise $465 million, becoming the first publicly traded pure-play humanoid robot company. It has deployed Digit robots with nine customers but lost $362 million in the first half of 2026 on just $174,000 revenue. The new Digit 5 has $300 million in planned contracts from 30 customers, pending undisclosed performance targets, with prototypes due at CES 2027.
Agility's SPAC debut marks the first public listing of a pure-play humanoid robot company, signaling market validation for physical AI. However, heavy losses and minimal revenue highlight early-stage risks, making customer deployment and Digit 5 delivery critical watchpoints.
