Agility Robotics completes an initial public offering before 2028.
Agility Robotics manufactures bipedal robots for commercial logistics. An IPO on a major exchange would satisfy this.
Across 6 frontier models answering independently, the panel thinks this is unlikely: the median is 23%.
They broadly agree, 27 points between GPT at 37% and Claude at 10%.
Nothing is settled until 23 Sept 2029, when the outcome is checked against sources and every number above gets a permanent score.

The odds hinge on whether Digit deployments convert into durable revenue fast enough to support public-market scrutiny.
- Agility must choose to file, complete SEC review, and price shares before 2028; a major exchange listing is the key act.
- Robotics firms rarely reach IPO quickly without strong recurring orders; Agility's $150m 2022 raise and Amazon ties help but do not prove scale.
- A large multiyear Digit fleet order or a late-2027 confidential S-1 filing would materially raise the estimate.

IPO by 2028 hinges on proving profitable, multi-client Digit deployments at scale rather than relying on private venture checks.
- Hardware robotics firms historically take 8-12 years to IPO; Agility was founded in 2015, making 2027 a plausible but tight window.
- Amazon and GXO trials must yield recurring fleet revenue before public markets tolerate capital-intensive humanoid margins.
- A major strategic acquisition by Amazon or an anchor investor before 2028 is more likely than a rushed public debut.

Agility's board must file and price an IPO in the next 15 months rather than stay private or sell.
- Management and underwriters need an S-1 and roadshow by mid-2027; typical process is 6-12 months after the decision.
- VC robotics firms rarely IPO in any given 15-month window (base ~10%); Amazon Digit deployments lift Agility only modestly above that.
- A late-2026 funding round or acquisition talks would most lower odds; a humanoid-valuation spike would raise them.

A 2027-28 listing hinges on Digit hitting commercial scale and a receptive IPO window, neither yet in evidence.
- Agility has raised ~$180M total and opened a Salem, Oregon factory in 2024, but no disclosed revenue or profitability milestone.
- Humanoid peers Figure and Apptronik remain private; no comparable humanoid IPO precedent exists, so base rate for a 2027-28 listing is low.
- A large strategic round or disclosed multi-hundred-unit deployment contract in 2026 would most shift this toward likely.

Agility Robotics is pre-revenue at scale and has never signaled IPO readiness; three years is too short for a hardware startup at this stage.
- Agility raised a $150M Series B in late 2023 at a ~$1B valuation but has not filed an S-1 or hired IPO-focused bankers as of mid-2026.
- Hardware robotics companies typically need sustained revenue growth and path-to-profitability before listing; Agility's Digit deployments remain in the dozens, not…
- A SPAC or direct listing could shortcut the process, but no credible reporting suggests Agility is pursuing either; a surprise acquisition is more likely than an IPO.

Hinges on whether Agility hits commercial scale and profitability metrics needed for a pre-2028 IPO window.
- Agility is still privately funded (last raise 2024, ~$400M) with no public IPO filing or S-1 signals as of 2026.
- Humanoid/bipedal robotics IPOs are rare; peers like Figure and Boston Dynamics remain private, suggesting industry preference for continued VC/strategic funding.
- A surprise strategic acquisition, SPAC deal, or accelerated funding round announcement would be the main catalyst that could change this.
