Circus SE, a German deep-tech company, is developing AI robots designed to automate cooking, food preparation, and cleaning in the food service industry. Targeting sectors such as canteens and large kitchens, the company aims to revolutionize operations within a field facing significant labor shortages.
The company offers AI robots for the food sector that can cook, prepare food, and clean themselves.
Beyond its core business, Circus SE has established a new division, Defense Strategy & Operations. This expansion led to NATO approval in the summer of 2025, allowing the company to participate in defense procurement and direct awards for troop supply contracts among NATO member states.
Analysts acknowledge Circus SE is in an early growth phase, characterized by high research and development expenses and modest revenues. While revenues quadrupled on a low base last year to 1.5 million euros, operational profit is not expected before 2027, making the stock highly speculative. The share price has fallen sharply from its all-time high of 33.40 euros in June 2024.
Circus plays into the mega-trend of automation, which is increasingly in demand in the gastronomy and food sector due to the acute shortage of personnel.
Despite the risks, four analysts surveyed by Bloomberg recommend buying the stock. They collectively project an average potential upside of over 380 percent. Even accounting for a degree of skepticism, this suggests considerable room for growth if the company's ambitious plans materialize.
