Circus SE enters a critical stretch that will test whether its ambitious 2026 revenue target is grounded in operational reality or wishful thinking. The stock, currently changing hands at €6.79, has shed roughly 44% since the start of the year, leaving it more than 70% below the 52-week high of €23.50 reached last November. The 200-day moving average of €11.29 is a distant memory.
Investors are waiting for the audited annual report for 2025, due by 30 June. So far only preliminary figures are available: revenue climbed to around €1.5 million, up from €250,000 the prior year, but the operating loss ballooned to €15.3 million. The culprit was a late start to deliveries — the company only shipped its first CA-1 cooking robots in the fourth quarter, too late to offset the heavy spending on development and production setup.
Against that backdrop, the management’s forecast of up to €55 million in revenue for 2026 looks like a leap of faith. To get there, Circus needs to scale production to 64 CA-1 units a month by year-end. The company has secured a financing framework of €50 million to back the expansion, and it is pursuing both civilian clients and the defence sector — a diversification that broadens the addressable market but also introduces execution risk.
Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying Circus?
The market has yet to buy the story. The stock showed a modest positive pulse in the past week, rising over 4%, but market observers dismiss the move as a purely technical bounce lacking fresh fundamental catalysts. The distance to that November peak remains enormous, and the stock continues to trade well below its long-term average.
Several events this summer could trigger a re-rating — for better or worse. After the audited report lands in late June, management will host a quarterly update call on 16 July covering the second quarter of 2026. Then comes the annual general meeting in Munich on 20 August. Each milestone gives investors a chance to scrutinise whether the production ramp is on track and whether the 55 million euro target is backed by concrete orders.
Until those checkpoints produce clear evidence, the gap between Circus’s operational ambitions and the stock’s depressed valuation is likely to persist. The next few weeks will determine whether the company can start closing it.
