Peggy Johnson took humanoid robots to Wall Street. Now she has to make them profitable.

What happened: Agility Robotics became the first US humanoid robotics company to go public, via a SPAC merger led by CEO Peggy Johnson. Shares trade under AGLT. Key numbers: The merger raised about $465 million. Shares closed Friday at $9.90, down nearly 14% from Thursday. Agility reported $1.8 million in revenue last year and a $138.1 million net loss. Why it matters: Johnson must now convince public investors the technology can deliver a return, as rivals including Figure AI, Apptronik, and Tesla's Optimus intensify competition.
