Dubai – November 10, 2026 -- Robo.ai Inc. (Nasdaq: AIIO) reported preliminary, unaudited October 2026 revenue of more than US$100 million, the second consecutive month above that level, and reiterated its full-year 2026 revenue expectation of approximately US$600 million. The October figure was driven primarily by subsidiary Quantum Core Capital Limited (QC Capital), which Robo.ai acquired on June 15, 2026.
