Trending Headlines about Richtech Robotics

Here are the key news stories impacting Richtech Robotics this week:

• Positive Sentiment: Richtech will demonstrate its humanoid robot Dex at CES 2026; the company highlights Dex’s NVIDIA Jetson Thor acceleration, four‑hour runtime and live demos (barista, food delivery, logistics, visual monitoring), which investors view as tangible commercialization steps. GlobeNewswire release
• Positive Sentiment: Multiple outlets reported a pre‑CES share advance, signaling short‑term momentum as traders buy ahead of the live demonstrations and management access at the show. MSN article
• Neutral Sentiment: Company and third‑party summaries (Quiver/BayStreet) outline Dex’s technical stack and demo plan and invite investor meetings at CES — useful for due diligence but largely forward‑looking and dependent on commercial traction. BayStreet coverage
• Negative Sentiment: Short interest rose meaningfully in December (reported ~31.28M shares as of Dec 15, up ~24.7% from Nov 30), representing ~26% of shares sold short — that elevates downside pressure and potential volatility if sentiment reverses or if shorts cover. (Days‑to‑cover remains low, ~0.8 days, so moves could be sharp.)
• Negative Sentiment: Recent insider activity shows sales (COO reported sales of 200,000 shares in recent months), which investors may view as a mild negative signal on near‑term conviction. QuiverQuant summary
