Circus SE can also be Defence 👀

Good morning dear getquin community today there is an update on $CA1 (+0,76%)

Circus SE is drawing a clear line towards future technology: autonomous AI robotics, modular infrastructure and now also a defense subsidiary. Circus Defence SE is an independent division that specializes in AI-supported robotic systems and container-based computing modules. The aim: systems that can be deployed quickly, function independently and can be used in both military and civilian applications. Dual-use, but with a focus on safety-critical applications.

The next step has already been announced: the defense unit could be floated separately on the stock market. This creates a clean structure: raising capital directly in the defense tech segment without diluting the core business. At the same time, it gives investors the opportunity to focus on this growth market. Europe is investing massively in defense autonomy and technological sovereignty. The demand is real and politically desirable.

Now comes the point that takes the whole thing to a new level: Circus has received NATO certification. This certification is regarded as a stamp of entry into a market that is practically closed to outsiders. Without NATO approval, no participation in tenders, no projects, no relevance. With the approval, the company suddenly becomes visible in a market worth billions, where speed, safety and autonomy are crucial.

Takeaway: When a company not only announces but also founds a defense subsidiary, receives NATO approval and even considers a separate IPO, then it is no longer about an idea, but about strategic positioning in an area with extremely high barriers to entry. What role can a new player play if it doesn't just want to enter the market, but already has the keys to access it?

As an investor, I have been following the current newsflow😌 with pleasure over the last few days.

@All-in-or-nothing I would get into the "spun-off" defense sector immediately. I just have to see how I can stay on the ball in terms of information without the issue news going under.

I will also get back on board. On November 13, the CEO will present new defense innovations at the Cantor Fitzgerald European Defense Conference, including an autonomous multi-drone launch system based on the company's own AI robotics platform.
The subsidiary Circus Defense has also delivered a system to an active conflict for the first time with the Brave1 program. (Ukraine)

@Multibagger now that Cantor Fitzgerald has also started coverage for Circus😌. REWE West is currently also being supplied in stages in the civil sector, so let's see what happens with the whole wird👍🏻.

Sounds strong, especially the presentation at the Cantor-Fitzgerald Defense Conference and the autonomous multi-drone system based on the company's own AI platform. The fact that Circus Defense has already been able to deliver a system via Brave1 in an active deployment shows that this is not just a concept, but has real applications.

Now I'm interested:
At what price would you get in? And are there any analysts who have already named a price target and included the defense subsidiary in their valuation?

All-in-or-nothing@All-in-or-nothing

@EpsEra I strongly assume that the defense subsidiary is still a bit of a black box as far as the overall package is concerned. At the moment, we only know about the troop supply part; apart from announcements, nothing else is known in detail. For this reason, analysts have so far only referred to the increased involvement in the defense sector without evaluating it in detail.

As far as I have read so far, only a troop supply system has been delivered via Brave1.

As at 30.06.25, there were still no profits etc., as massive investments had been made in production capacities and the company's own platform. With increasing numbers of units being delivered for both civilian and military use, the company is making great strides towards profitability; I (and the management) expect this to happen next year at the latest, so in my view the best time to buy is now.

@EpsEra mwb Research says sales could reach 250m by 2027 and the P/E ratio could fall below 15.
Cantor Fitzgerald has issued an initial price target of €40.
I wanted to get back in after the news, but then they went straight through to €23. That was the same as last time. Now I find them interesting again below €19. I will definitely try to get in before the conference.

All-in-or-nothing@All-in-or-nothing

@EpsEra btw: even without details regarding Defence, the current analyst average is €36.70😉.

@Multibagger @All-in-or-nothing
Thank you for your assessments. I have also done some more research and also come up with price targets of around €40. Whether the Defence sector is already fully priced in is not clear at the moment.

I will now wait for the start of the week, see whether the price stabilizes or corrects further, and then plan a second tranche. If a doubling is possible here, it makes sense to get in early.

Let's stay tuned. Good exchange. 🙌

Thank you for sharing, great addition! I also saw the article on Goodbytz at lunchtime today. It's exciting that they're working with NATO - competition is known to stimulate business. However, the company is not listed on the stock exchange, but is still privately financed. Nevertheless, I currently see Circus a little further ahead, mainly due to the defense subsidiary and the connection to Meta.
