Circus

Kitchen-robot maker Circus cut its 2026 revenue forecast from €44–55 million to €5.2 million, after which the share price plunged within a day and investors raised critical questions about communication and business strategy. CEO Nikolas Bullwinkel admitted delays, reported 27 devices delivered so far (10 of them CA-1), and stressed a strategic shift toward lower-cost CA-A devices. Large announced rollouts with partners such as Mangal, Rewe, HEM and in China have not materialized, prompting investors to doubt scalability and the business model. Bullwinkel promises more deliveries in the third and fourth quarters and reaffirms his long-term commitment to the company. » Altro su wiwo.de
