What I can comment on
- Public humanoid stocks: Agility (AGLT), Unitree and UBTech. Listings, SPAC mechanics, redemptions and what early trading tells investors.
- Funding and valuations: who’s raising, at what valuation, and how private money compares to actual revenue.
- Robotics ETFs: how the 11 robotics and humanoid ETFs differ, what they actually hold, and how much pure humanoid exposure they give.
- Orders vs. deployments: separating signed orders and pilots from robots doing paid work on real factory and warehouse floors.
