Current overview (not historical)

AI overview

Agility has gone public through a SPAC reverse merger, becoming the first pure-play humanoid robot company listed on the stock market, and plans to raise $465 million from retail investors and private financing. The company has deployed small numbers of its Digit robots to nine customers, including Schaeffler, GXO, Toyota Canada Manufacturing, and Mercado Libre. In the first half of 2026, Agility reported revenue of only $174,000 and a loss of $362 million. Johnson said the Digit 5 contract can only be completed if undisclosed metrics are met. While the new funds should cover current needs, Johnson said they are not enough to make the company self-sufficient.
