雲頂新耀達成艾曲帕米鼻噴霧劑資產收購協議 強化心血管領域產品佈局

香港, 2026年3月23日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 雲頂新耀宣佈與箕星藥業香港有限公司(以下簡稱「箕星藥業」)達成資產收購協議 (The Asset Purchase Agreement),獲得艾曲帕米(Etripamil)鼻噴霧劑(擬定中文商品名:星必妥(R))在大中華區的開發、商業化及產品地產化權益。此次合作是公司深化心血管領域戰略佈局的重要舉措,進一步豐富了公司的產品管線、增強協同效應,持續鞏固公司在心血管疾病領域的發展。根據協議,雲頂新耀將向箕星藥業支付3000萬美元(相當於約人民幣206,937,000元)首付款,以及最高不超過2000萬美元(相當於約人民幣137,958,000元)的開發裏程碑付款。作為本協議的一部分,雲頂新耀將獲得箕星藥業於2021年5月簽訂的許可協議及相關附屬協議項下的權利、權益、主張、職責、義務及責任(不包括雙方約定的部分除外責任)。艾曲帕米鼻噴霧劑是一款新型、速效的鈣離子通道阻滯劑,采用便攜式鼻噴霧劑給藥,起效迅速且耐受性良好,可居家自行使用,可及性高。該藥物於2025年12月獲得美國食品藥品監督管理局(FDA)批准(美國商品名:CARDAMYSTTM),成為30多年來首款且唯一獲批用於成人陣發性室上性心動過速(PSVT)急性症狀性發作的療法,開拓了PSVT治療新場景。患者可在無醫療監督的環境(如居家)自行給藥,實現對病情的主動掌控,使疾病管理從依賴急診幹預轉向更加主動的院外管理。此外,艾曲帕米鼻噴霧劑正開發用於伴有快速心室率反應的房顫(AFib-RVR)適應症,II期臨床研究已取得積極結果,並計劃推進III期臨床研究,未來有望進一步拓展至更廣泛患者人群。在中國,艾曲帕米鼻噴霧劑用於治療PSVT的新藥上市申請已於2025年1月17日獲中國國家藥品監督管理局(NMPA)正式受理,並預計於2026年第三季度獲批,有望為PSVT患者提供全新的治療選擇。PSVT是一種以突發突止為主要特征的心動過速臨床綜合征,發作時心率極快且節律規則,通常持續數分鐘至數小時,患者症狀明顯且恐懼感強。PSVT急性發作的治療缺乏安全、便捷、可在院外自行使用的快速終止藥物,使患者在發作期長期處於「被動等待」狀態,缺乏真正意義上的「按需自救」工具。據悉,在中國,每1000中約有2.3-4人患有PSVT,估計總患者人數為300-600萬。AFib-RVR的特征是心率不規則,紊亂且快速,呈漸進式發作且不易自行終止,容易反複持續。目前中國的房顫患病率1.6%,對應患者人數約2000萬,並隨老齡化加劇呈上升趨勢。PSVT與AFib-RVR都會增加患者的失控感和心理負擔。整體來看,PSVT及AFib-RVR患者人群規模超過2500萬人,臨床需求遠未得到滿足,亟需更便捷、更高效的治療選擇。臨床數據方面,此次艾曲帕米鼻噴霧劑獲中國NMPA新藥上市申請受理是基於艾曲帕米關鍵性III期 RAPID 研究和中國III期 JX02002 臨床研究所取得的數據結果。JX02002研究達到了方案預設的主要終點,治療期出現的不良事件(TEAEs)在艾曲帕米治療組和安慰劑組之間相當。艾曲帕米鼻噴霧劑獲FDA批准是基於一項紮實的臨床試驗項目所得出的結論,該項目共收集了來自超1,800名參與者、超2,000次PSVT發作的安全性數據。這包括成功的3期RAPID試驗,這是一項在全球範圍內開展的、隨機、雙盲、安慰劑對照研究,結果於2023年發表在《柳葉刀》雜志上。RAPID試驗達到了其主要終點:自行使用艾曲帕米的參與者(N=99)中有64%在30分鐘內從室上性心動過速轉為竇性心律,而安慰劑組(N=85)為31%(HR = 2.62; p<0.001),中位轉複時間為17分鐘(95% CI:13.4,26.5),而安慰劑組為54分鐘(95% CI:38.7,87.3)。 艾曲帕米鼻噴霧劑正開發用於AFib-RVR適應症。在國際多中心、隨機、安慰劑對照的II期 ReVeRA 研究中,艾曲帕米顯著且快速地降低了AFibRVR患者的心室率,達到了主要終點。接受艾曲帕米治療的患者中,心室率低於100 bpm的人數(58.3%)高於接受安慰劑治療的人數(4%)。安全性總體良好並與既往研究結果一致。從戰略層面看,此次交易亦被視為雲頂新耀落實「2030戰略」的重要一步。在 2030 戰略的指引下,公司通過聚焦「BD合作+自研」雙輪驅動模式加速發展,全面推進戰略性業務拓展與自主研發,不斷豐富管線與產品組合,推進全球研發體系建設,並依托成熟的商業化實力,持續提升在全球創新藥領域的綜合競爭力,為患者提供創新療法並創造長期可持續價值。雲頂新耀董事會主席吳以芳先生指出,此次與箕星藥業的合作標志著公司在心血管領域戰略佈局的重要進展,體現了雲頂新耀對戰略落地的持續踐行與承諾,並通過進一步完善產品組合、強化核心戰略能力,展示公司在戰略規劃與執行上的前瞻視野,彰顯雲頂新耀在全球創新藥領域的領先發展格局。雲頂新耀首席執行官羅永慶表示:「此次與箕星藥業達成艾曲帕米鼻噴霧劑的資產收購協議,是公司深耕心血管領域的關鍵一步,也是推進2030戰略過程中取得的重要進展。艾曲帕米鼻噴霧劑是目前唯一可居家自行用於PSVT以及AFib-RVR急性發作的藥物,中國患者存在巨大的未滿足臨床需求。未來,雲頂新耀將依托成熟的臨床開發能力與卓越的商業化平台,加快艾曲帕米鼻噴霧劑在中國的注冊與商業化,助力更多患者受益,並充分發揮其長期臨床與商業價值。」隨著艾曲帕米鼻噴霧劑在中國注冊及商業化進程的推進,公司有望進一步拓展在心血管領域的產品佈局。未來,雲頂新耀將依托成熟的臨床開發體系與商業化平台,加快創新資產的落地與價值釋放,持續推進2030戰略實施,為患者帶來更多創新治療選擇。 Copyright 2026 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

VALYGO Launches Integrated Platform Bridging Crypto, Fiat, and Global Payments

BASSETERRE, KN – 10/03/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – As digital assets, traditional banking services, and global payment networks continue to evolve independently, individuals and businesses that operate internationally often face a fragmented financial landscape. Addressing this challenge, the VALYGO platform has officially launched, introducing a unified financial environment designed to consolidate multiple financial functions into a single operational framework. Modern financial activity frequently requires users to rely on separate systems for cryptocurrency management, fiat transactions, payment processing, and cross-border transfers. This fragmentation can slow financial operations, create administrative complexity, and increase operational friction for professionals and companies conducting business across multiple jurisdictions. VALYGO enters this space with the goal of simplifying financial workflows by bringing these capabilities together within one structured platform. A Platform Designed Around Real Financial Workflows Rather than focusing on a single financial service, VALYGO has been designed around the way individuals and businesses interact with money in real-world scenarios. The platform enables users to operate within a connected account environment where several financial functions can coexist and interact. Through the platform, users are able to manage digital assets alongside supported fiat services, conduct card-based transactions both online and at physical merchants, and execute cross-border transfers without relying on multiple external systems. In addition, supported ATM access provides another method for interacting with funds. By integrating these services into one platform environment, VALYGO aims to reduce the need for users to shift between different tools and platforms, helping create greater continuity in everyday financial activity. Supporting Cross-Border Financial Participants The platform has been developed with internationally active users in mind. Freelancers who invoice clients abroad, remote professionals earning income from multiple regions, and businesses maintaining relationships with clients across different countries often require financial infrastructure capable of supporting complex payment flows. VALYGO’s structure seeks to address these needs by providing an operational environment where payments, asset management, and account access can function within a single system. Individuals who frequently interact with both cryptocurrency and traditional financial services may also find value in the platform’s integrated structure. Flexible Account Models for Different Operational Needs Recognizing that users operate at varying scales, VALYGO offers multiple account tiers designed to accommodate different levels of financial activity. This structured approach allows participants to select an account model aligned with their operational requirements. Entry-level access is available for users with more basic needs, while higher-tier accounts provide expanded functionality and may involve participation through the VYO ecosystem component. By offering tiered access, the platform seeks to provide scalability without imposing identical requirements on all participants. VYO Utility Within the Platform Ecosystem Within the VALYGO ecosystem, VYO functions as a utility component connected to platform participation. Its use cases include enabling access to certain account tiers, supporting staking participation, and linking token utility with platform functionality. Rather than existing independently from the platform environment, VYO is designed to operate as part of the broader ecosystem infrastructure, aligning user participation with the system’s operational structure. Transitioning from Development to Active Use With the platform now live, users are able to engage with VALYGO under real operating conditions. The launch represents the transition from development and system design to practical usage. While future updates and improvements may continue as the platform evolves, the current release establishes the foundation for users to interact with a financial environment that brings together digital assets, payment tools, and supported fiat services within a single operational framework. A Unified Operational Layer for Modern Finance VALYGO does not position itself as a traditional bank replacement, a trading platform, or solely a cryptocurrency wallet. Instead, it presents itself as an integrated operational layer intended to connect several financial functions—ranging from crypto access and supported fiat services to payment infrastructure and account management—within one unified environment.

Clockwork.io Launches TorchPass Workload Fault Tolerance to Improve Reliability in Large-Scale AI Training

PALO ALTO, CA – 14/03/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – Clockwork.io has announced the general availability of TorchPass Workload Fault Tolerance, a new capability designed to improve resilience in large-scale artificial intelligence training environments. The software-based solution aims to reduce the operational disruption and financial losses associated with infrastructure failures in distributed GPU clusters. TorchPass is delivered as a core feature within the Clockwork.io FleetIQ platform. The technology applies the company’s Software-Driven AI Fabrics architecture to distributed training workloads, enabling systems to continue operating even when GPU hardware, network links, or cluster nodes encounter failures. By leveraging Live GPU Migration, the platform can transparently shift active training workloads to available resources without requiring job restarts or checkpoint recovery. According to Suresh Vasudevan, the cost of infrastructure interruptions has become a growing challenge for organizations investing heavily in AI computing resources. “Companies are investing billions in next-generation accelerators, yet distributed AI workloads still lose significant productivity due to avoidable infrastructure faults,” Vasudevan said. “TorchPass was designed to address that gap by allowing training workloads to continue operating through failures rather than forcing expensive restarts.” Industry observers have also noted that reliability becomes increasingly difficult as AI clusters scale. Dylan Patel said that maintaining continuity across large GPU deployments is becoming critical as new hardware architectures increase cluster density. “As systems scale to larger compute domains, even minor errors—such as a single GPU failure or a network disruption—can terminate an entire training run,” Patel said. “Technologies like TorchPass help maintain utilization by enabling transparent failover and live workload migration.” Addressing Reliability Challenges in Distributed AI Training Distributed AI training is widely recognized as one of the most complex and failure-prone workloads in modern computing infrastructure. Research conducted by Meta FAIR indicates that the mean time to failure decreases sharply as cluster sizes increase. In clusters with more than a thousand GPUs, interruptions can occur within hours, frequently forcing jobs to restart from checkpoints. These interruptions often result in lost compute time and reduced GPU utilization. When failures occur, training systems typically roll back to the latest saved checkpoint, discarding recent progress and requiring additional time to restore workloads. TorchPass is designed to mitigate these inefficiencies by addressing faults proactively and maintaining workload continuity. By reducing restart events and preserving training progress, the system aims to improve cluster utilization and reduce operational overhead for enterprises and AI cloud providers. Live GPU Migration Enables Continuous Training The key mechanism behind TorchPass is Live GPU Migration, which enables affected training processes to move dynamically to spare resources within the cluster when faults occur. The migration process typically completes in approximately three minutes while the overall training workload continues to operate. TorchPass supports three primary resilience scenarios: Unplanned migration, which responds to unexpected failures such as GPU faults, kernel crashes, or power disruptions Pre-emptive migration, triggered by early warning signals including thermal anomalies or ECC memory errors Planned migration, allowing infrastructure maintenance or workload balancing without interrupting training operations According to the company, this approach can reduce wasted training progress by up to 95 percent in certain environments. Independent Testing Highlights Performance Benefits Independent benchmarking conducted by Jordan Nanos evaluated TorchPass in large-scale training scenarios. Testing involved a GPT-scale training workload using a Kubernetes-based cluster equipped with 64 H200 GPUs. The evaluation measured job completion time and model FLOPs utilization against both traditional checkpoint-restart methods and the open-source fault-tolerance framework TorchFT. The results indicated that TorchPass achieved faster recovery after simulated hardware failures while maintaining higher GPU utilization rates. The benchmark also suggested that by improving fault tolerance, organizations may be able to reduce checkpoint frequency in training pipelines. This can enable larger batch sizes, lower memory pressure, and simplified storage management. Financial Impact for Large AI Clusters For operators managing large GPU deployments, improved reliability can translate into significant cost savings. Clockwork.io estimates that in a typical deployment using 2,048 H200 GPUs, TorchPass could recover more than $6 million in annual compute value by preventing wasted GPU hours caused by restart-driven downtime. These savings primarily result from avoiding repeated training interruptions and eliminating idle recovery periods. By maintaining continuous training progress, organizations may also accelerate the time required to complete large model training runs. Supporting Next-Generation AI Infrastructure Clockwork.io positions TorchPass as part of a broader effort to make reliability a software-defined capability within AI infrastructure. This approach is designed to support emerging high-density systems, including architectures built around GPUs such as the NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 and NVIDIA GB300 NVL72. TorchPass expands on the company’s earlier Network Fault Tolerance capabilities, which address network-level disruptions by rerouting traffic around failing links. Together, these technologies form the foundation of Clockwork.io’s Software-Driven AI Fabric, a vendor-neutral software layer designed to coordinate compute, network, and storage resources across large AI clusters. The goal is to enable operators to run heterogeneous infrastructure as a unified system while maintaining predictable performance and high utilization. Clockwork.io will present TorchPass during the upcoming NVIDIA GTC conference from March 16 to 19. About Clockwork.io Clockwork.io develops Software-Driven AI Fabrics, a programmable software layer designed to improve observability, determinism, and fault tolerance in large-scale AI clusters. Its FleetIQ platform enables enterprises to train and operate complex AI workloads while maintaining high infrastructure utilization. Organizations including Uber, Wells Fargo, Nebius, and Nscale use Clockwork.io technologies to support AI infrastructure operations.

Speaking on this development, Bruno Bittencourt, CEO of LOUD said, “Brazil has one of the most passionate gaming communities in the world, yet we’ve spent years playing games that weren’t built with us in mind. Prime Rush is a game created for Brazilian players, shaped daily by the communities we’ve built over the past decade. We’ve been listening to them every single day. It’s a game that finally feels like home.” “Brazil has one of the most competitive mobile shooter audiences we’ve encountered, and from the beginning, we wanted Prime Rush to be both authentic and accessible,” said Roby John, CEO and Co-founder of SuperGaming. “To us, that meant crafting a game that feels true to Brazil while ensuring it runs smoothly on a wide range of devices, so more players can enjoy it as intended.” Battles unfold on the island of Maré, the backdrop for Prime Rush’s battle royale extraction experience. The game also offers a Mini TDM mode (Favela)—a fast 4v4 mode made for shorter, high-intensity firefights when players are on the move. At launch, the game debuts a roster of new Brazilian heroes—Juliana, Rafael, Miguel, Rogério, Dos Santos, Julia, and Gustavo—with character customization options for players to personalize their experience.

Tom Horn Gaming: Building Slot Success Beyond Current Trends

(AsiaGameHub) -   “Studios that endure are those prepared to innovate and explore new avenues, while remaining true to their foundational principles. While trend-following is straightforward, genuine success stems from understanding players, trusting one’s intuition, and consistently delivering high quality.” As the iGaming sector continues its rapid evolution, the imperative for innovation has intensified. However, true and lasting success extends beyond merely adopting the latest industry fads. Ahead of the HIPTHER Prague Summit, where Tom Horn Gaming will participate as a Grand Sponsor, CEO Ondrej Lapides offers his insights into the essential elements for developing games that achieve enduring appeal. In this exclusive discussion with Hipther, we delve into Tom Horn Gaming’s approach to product development. This includes how they balance innovation with familiar elements and design games that resonate across diverse player demographics and markets. The conversation also addresses the growing significance of player-centric design, fostering long-term engagement, and the industry shifts poised to influence slot development in 2026 and beyond. With Central and Eastern Europe increasingly asserting its prominence within the global iGaming sphere, the Prague Summit serves as a timely forum for exchanging ideas, sharing perspectives, and anticipating future industry directions. Tom Horn Gaming has observed numerous trends emerge and recede over its tenure in the industry. From your vantage point, what truly distinguishes studios that achieve lasting success from those that merely pursue fleeting popularity? From my perspective, longevity in this industry is fundamentally about balance and a deep conviction in one’s work. The studios that persist are those willing to experiment and embrace novelty, yet remain firmly rooted in their core values. While it’s easy to chase trends, what truly matters is a profound understanding of players, confidence in one’s instincts, and a consistent commitment to quality. When creativity is combined with discipline and a long-term vision, the resulting products resonate far beyond transient industry hype. Your game portfolio skillfully combines recognizable slot formats with proprietary mechanics such as QuickX. How do you determine when to introduce innovation versus when to refine existing, successful elements? It’s consistently a blend of data, accumulated experience, and intuition. Innovation is crucial, but it must never compromise clarity or player enjoyment. Sometimes, the most effective strategy is to take a proven concept and enhance it further. At other times, market indicators clearly signal that players are ready for something entirely new. Striking this balance is partly analytical and partly instinctive, developed over time through a comprehensive understanding of how players interact with games. Your games frequently integrate modern mechanics with highly recognizable slot characteristics. Why do you believe familiarity continues to play such a significant role in player engagement today? Player expectations exhibit considerable variation across different markets and segments. Some players favor classic slot gameplay that offers immediate familiarity, while others seek more experimental experiences. Our objective is to cater to both preferences by maintaining a diverse portfolio. Familiarity enhances accessibility and comfort, whereas modern mechanics introduce fresh excitement and deeper layers of engagement. Player attention spans are diminishing, yet expectations for engagement and excitement are simultaneously rising. How do you approach game design to ensure titles are instantly accessible without compromising their depth? This challenge fundamentally requires a greater investment of thought and effort into the design process. We allocate substantial resources to meticulously balance gameplay, ensuring the core experience is intuitive from the very first spin, while also sustaining engagement over extended periods. Achieving this equilibrium necessitates close collaboration among designers, mathematicians, and product teams to guarantee an experience that is both intuitive and rewarding. Observing your recent releases, there’s a clear emphasis on replayability over one-off novelty. How critical is long-term player value in the development of new games? Long-term engagement is indeed very important, but once again, it’s about achieving balance. Not every game is conceived with the same primary objective. Some are designed to deliver immediate excitement, while others aim for more prolonged play sessions. A robust portfolio requires both types. The key is ensuring that each game provides genuine value and encourages players to return. From your perspective as a slot supplier, which innovations do you anticipate will genuinely shape slot development in 2026 and beyond, and which current trends are unlikely to endure? We are already observing a growing demand for more layered gameplay and richer feature sets, a trend I expect to continue. Players are seeking more dynamic experiences rather than purely static mechanics. Concurrently, fast-paced formats like crash games have gained significant traction and are influencing expectations regarding immediacy and interaction. Nevertheless, not every trend will prove lasting. Ultimately, the games that succeed will be those that effectively combine innovation with strong fundamental principles and a clear understanding of player preferences across diverse markets. Your recent partnerships have significantly expanded distribution across Europe and Latin America, while also reinforcing a commitment to compliance-focused delivery. How can aggregation partnerships contribute to sustainable scaling across various regulated markets? Achieving scalable growth across regulated markets necessitates the right strategic partnerships and robust technical infrastructure. For this to function effectively, the technical integration must be resilient, seamless, and fully compliant with all regulatory mandates. When such a connection is expertly implemented and continuously optimized, it facilitates rapid content delivery to operators while upholding the reliability and compliance standards demanded by these markets. As Grand Stage Sponsor of the HIPTHER Prague Summit, what core message or perspective would you like operators, partners, and industry leaders to take away from Tom Horn Gaming’s presence at the event? Events like the Prague Summit hold particular value because they shine a light on Central and Eastern Europe, a region that is playing an increasingly vital role in the global iGaming landscape but often receives less attention than larger markets. For us, the true benefit lies in the exchange of knowledge. It presents an invaluable opportunity to discuss the latest industry developments, share practical insights derived from real-world operations, and compare experiences across different jurisdictions. Bringing these diverse perspectives together helps the industry collectively learn and gain actionable insights that can foster future growth and innovation.

香港, 2026年3月23日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 在中醫藥文化傳承創新發展的時代浪潮中,一家承載著350餘年曆史積澱的醫療集團正昂首闊步走向國際資本市場。北京同仁堂醫養投資股份有限公司(以下簡稱"同仁堂醫養")於2026年3月20日正式啟動港股IPO招股,股票代碼為02667.HK,招股價範圍為7.30港元至8.30港元,中金公司擔任獨家保薦人,將於3月30日掛牌交易。憑借深厚的品牌底蘊、卓越的醫療服務能力和清晰的戰略布局,同仁堂醫養向全球投資者展示中國中醫醫療服務行業的無限潛力。本次全球發售H股總數為108,153,500股,其中香港公開發售10%,國際發售90%,基石投資占比46.15%,設置綠鞋。對港股投資者而言,這是一個值得注意的機會,中醫醫療服務賽道此前僅有固生堂,兩者模式在中醫細分賽道顯現出差異化,未來發展也各有側重,同仁堂醫養的加入將為投資者提供新的配置選擇。百年品牌背書,大流量的降維優勢作為中華老字號的傑出代表,"同仁堂"品牌始創於1669年,擁有超過350年的曆史傳承。這份厚重的文化積澱不僅代表著百年品質,更是國人心中標志化的民族品牌,也是其最寶貴的無形資產。招股書顯示,按2024年總門診人次及住院人次計,同仁堂醫養是中國非公立中醫院醫療服務行業中最大的中醫院集團,市場份額達1.7%。按2024年中醫醫療服務總收入計,公司以0.2%的市場份額在非公立中醫院醫療服務行業中排名第二。這一領先地位的確立,離不開"同仁堂"金字招牌的強大號召力。憑借深厚的客戶信任和業內公認的高質量中醫醫療服務及產品,公司以極具成本效益的方式吸引和留住大量客戶及醫療頂尖人才。2024年,公司銷售和分銷開支中的推廣費占總收入比例約為0.2%,遠低於行業平均水平,充分彰顯了品牌自帶的強大引流效應。這是百年品牌壁壘最直觀的量化體現,在獲客成本日益攀升的醫療服務行業,這一差距意味著巨大的利潤釋放空間。業績穩健增長,盈利能力持續攀升翻開同仁堂醫養的財務畫卷,一組組靚麗的數據勾勒出企業蓬勃發展的態勢:1.收入規模持續擴大: 2022年至2024年,公司總收入從9.11億元(人民幣,下同)增長至11.75億元,複合年增長率達13.6%。2025年前九個月,收入達8.58億元,持續穩健增長。其中,中醫醫療服務作為核心業務,貢獻了總收入的84%以上,展現出穩健的主業增長動力。2.盈利能力顯著增強: 2022年公司曾錄得淨虧損923萬元,但通過高效的整合運營和精細化管理,2023年迅速扭虧為盈,實現淨利潤4263萬元。2024年淨利潤進一步增至4620萬元,同比增長8.4%。若剔除上市開支等一次性因素,2024年經調整淨利潤達6173萬元,較2023年的4787萬元大幅增長29%,核心業務"造血"能力持續強化。3. 毛利穩步提升: 毛利從2022年的1.43億元增至2024年的2.22億元,複合年增長率高達24.8%,超過收入增速2倍,毛利率從2022年的15.7%提升至2024年的18.9%,盈利能力穩升,規模效應加速顯現。4. 現金流健康: 2024年現金轉化率達87.2%,有息債務占比僅11.56%,截至2025年9月持有現金2.25億元,資產負債表穩健。作為一家2019年版塊組建的企業,同仁堂醫養正處於"扭虧為盈→盈利加速"的關鍵拐點期。回顧固生堂的發展軌跡,2021年上市時也處於發展早期,此後三年收入和利潤CAGR分別高達19%和47%,股價從IPO至今已實現數倍漲幅。同仁堂醫養當前的發展階段與固生堂上市初期高度相似--盈利能力剛進入釋放通道,增長最快的階段可能尚未到來。分級診療網絡,三條增長曲線並行同仁堂醫養並未滿足於傳統醫療機構的單一模式,而是前瞻性地構建起覆蓋全國的分級中醫醫療服務網絡。截至最後實際可行日期,公司已擁有12家自有線下醫療機構及1家互聯網醫院,以及12家線下管理醫療機構,形成"連鎖醫院-基層醫療機構-互聯網醫院"三級聯動的完整生態。這一布局產生了顯著的協同效應。就診人次飆升:醫療網絡內總就診人次從2022年的132.1萬人次飆升至2024年的297.7萬人次,複合年增長率高達50.1%。2025年前九個月,就診人次已達253.6萬人次,同比增長21.5%。會員粘性強勁:會員累計人數從2022年底的43.6萬人增至2024年底的74.0萬人,複合年增長率達30.2%,截至2025年9月底進一步增至76.7萬人,顯示出強大的用戶粘性和品牌忠誠度。區域戰略清晰:公司以北京為戰略核心深入紮根,同時深耕長三角等經濟活躍地區。北京地區貢獻了近半數的收入,而浙江省作為公司拓展華東市場的橋頭堡,2024年中醫醫療服務收入達2.25億元,毛利率達22.6%,展現出強勁的區域增長潛力。根據信息,公司的擴張主要通過戰略收購、輕資產新建以及管理服務,是公司快速擴張的重要引擎。2022年,公司收購浙江"三溪堂"品牌下的醫療機構,成功切入長江三角洲地區市場。自收購以來,通過標准化管理和專業化運營整合,三溪堂保健院業績持續提升:2022年至2024年,收入由1.025億元增長到1.982億元,複合年增長率39.1%;門診人次由18.38萬增至38.23萬,複合年增長率約44.2%,充分驗證了公司強大的投後整合能力。2024年,公司進一步收購上海承志堂等機構,強化在長三角的業務布局。此外,其另一核心擴張戰略為向公立醫院提供管理服務,目前已在北京、貴州、新疆、陝西等省份合作十餘家醫療機構。未來募集資金也將加速這一模式的擴張布局,放大輕資產模式的利潤杠杆。根據招股書披露,公司即將在齊齊哈爾和北京順義開設自建院區,開始邁向中西醫結合和高端醫療布局。名醫資源匯聚,供應鏈精益管理中醫醫療服務,醫師是靈魂。同仁堂醫養深諳此道,持續打造高素質的中醫醫師團隊。截至最後實際可行日期:- 網絡內共有2,745名醫師加入並執業- 30名擁有國家級榮譽稱號的醫師,其中全國名中醫2名、全國老中醫藥專家學術經驗繼承工作指導老師13名、非物質文化遺產代表性傳承人5名- 擁有820名主任醫師或副主任醫師,占比近30%- 通過建立"名醫工作室"和師承教育體系,公司已孵化13個國家級或省級名醫學術傳承工作室,促進寶貴中醫學術理論和臨床經驗的代代傳承- 公司還設立同仁堂中醫學術咨詢專家委員會,涵蓋中醫腎病、婦科、內分泌、腫瘤等八大醫學專科,致力於中醫標准化和人才培養。"炮制雖繁必不敢省人工,品味雖貴必不敢減物力"--同仁堂的古訓在公司供應鏈管理中得到了完美詮釋。公司成立全資附屬公司北京通達,建立采購協同管理平臺,整合網絡內醫療機構的采購需求,實現規模經濟,增強議價能力。在質量管控方面,公司實施嚴格的供應商選擇標准和驗收流程,定期委托第三方機構進行隨機檢測。2023年的一次內部盲評中,北京同仁堂中醫醫院所使用的中藥飲片在北京多家知名中醫院中得分最高,充分證明了公司在質量管理方面的卓越表現。數智化賦能百年傳承,同仁堂擁抱AI浪潮公司於2020年成立同仁堂互聯網醫院,將傳統中醫診療與現代科技完美融合。客戶可享受線上預約、健康咨詢、複診診斷、電子處方等一站式服務,打破了時空限制,讓優質中醫醫療資源惠及更廣泛人群。截至最後實際可行日期,在互聯網醫院注冊的醫師累計提供超過84.9萬次在線咨詢,覆蓋全國各地。公司還與超過500家外部藥店建立合作關系,實現"線上診療+線下配送"的業務閉環,打造線上線下融合便捷服務體驗。同仁堂不僅是百年工藝的傳承者,更是數智化轉型的排頭兵,正通過與用友等戰略夥伴的深度合作,將AIoT、大數據等數字技術深植於業務的每一個細胞。傳統"經驗主義"正被"數據主義"取代,同仁堂構建了"全鏈智能"的質量溯源體系,為核心產品提供了數字化護城河。2026年1月,同仁堂與北京市經信局簽訂任務合同書,支持開展"人工智能中藥新藥開發平臺",構建十萬級方劑數據庫,通過AI技術為中藥新藥開發裝上"智慧大腦"。同仁堂醫養作為大健康終端,未來有望借助AI技術打破傳統服務時空限制,通過搭建智能化健康管理平臺,整合線上線下資源,為用戶提供個性化的健康監測、養生指導與遠程康養服務,實現從"治已病"向"治未病"的智慧化躍遷。戰略藍圖清晰,估值空間可期發展階段紅利:中醫醫療在港股中仍屬於稀缺標的,公司當前處於盈利加速的早期階段,隨著業務進入規模化擴張期,其利潤釋放空間值得期待。品牌溢價尚未充分定價:三百年品牌帶來的巨大流量,意味著每年節省的營銷開支相當於數千萬元級別的"隱形利潤"。隨著收入規模擴大,品牌壁壘的經濟價值將進一步放大。管理服務的輕資產模式:管理服務板塊從2022年至2024年收入增長700%,毛利率超70%,是高確定性的利潤增長極。這條輕資產第二曲線若持續放量,將顯著改善公司整體的盈利結構和ROE。集團協同的生態價值:公司是同仁堂集團"制藥-零售-醫養"大健康閉環的關鍵一環,與其他成熟版塊相比,發展空間巨大,上市後將享受集團資源的持續輸入。這種生態協同價值在當前估值中可能尚未被充分反映。隨著3月20日招股的正式啟動,同仁堂醫養正以紮實的業績、清晰的戰略和廣闊的前景,向全球投資者展示中國中醫醫療服務行業的無限魅力。正如其名,"醫"與"養"的完美融合,不僅呵護著萬千民眾的生命健康,更將開創中醫醫療服務的新紀元。轉載自格隆匯 Copyright 2026 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

Florida Legislative Session Concludes Without Gambling Reform

(AsiaGameHub) -   The 2026 legislative session in Florida concluded without the passage of any bills targeting illegal gambling. While several proposals moved forward, with one even passing both chambers in differing versions, no legislation was enacted before the session adjourned on March 13. Good to Know SB 1580 came closest but died when the Senate did not take up House changes. HB 189 was the broad House proposal and never reached a final vote. Florida regulators keep the same enforcement tools they had before the session. For the second consecutive year, Florida's legislature did not approve measures that would have strengthened regulations concerning illegal gambling. As a result, illegal gambling arcades remain in a legal gray area, and sweepstakes platforms are not subject to new restrictions. SB 1580 Came Closest SB 1580 represented the most viable opportunity for reform. The Senate passed the bill unanimously in early March. Subsequently, the House made amendments and passed its own version on March 11. With just two days remaining, the Senate did not revisit the legislation. This bill would have established new criminal offenses for individuals who knowingly or recklessly participate in or profit from illegal gambling. It also aimed to extend liability to government employees involved in certifying, licensing, or hiding illegal gaming operations, increase penalties for gambling houses, and impose new restrictions on internet gambling. Another component proposed a Limited Slot Machine Surrender Program, granting operators immunity in exchange for turning in their machines.House Changes Added Friction Amendments made in the House contributed to its failure. One change would have permitted licensed gambling establishments to relocate up to 1,320 feet without losing their licenses. Additional concerns were raised that the wording could inadvertently affect veteran groups. These issues were left unresolved. HB 189 pursued a more comprehensive approach. The extensive, 100-plus-page bill aimed to reform multiple areas of Florida's gambling laws. Its provisions would have prohibited internet gambling and online sports betting not covered by the Seminole Tribe compact, increased penalties for operating or advertising gambling houses, created new violations for illegal gambling advertisements, and expanded the enforcement power of the Florida Gaming Control Commission. It also targeted broader aspects of the illegal gambling trade, such as transporting individuals for gambling purposes, making false claims about machine legality, and implementing harsher penalties for repeat offenders. Despite this, HB 189 stalled before a final House vote. Some of its elements were later incorporated into SB 1580, which intensified the disagreement between the chambers. Other related bills made little progress. SB 1164 and HB 591, which had similar objectives, failed to advance beyond initial committee hearings. SB 204, which emphasized regulatory clarity over new criminal penalties, moved through two Senate committees before also stalling.Illegal Arcades Stay in Play The proliferation of illegal gambling arcades throughout Florida was a primary motivator for lawmakers to address the issue. Many of these venues operate in a murky legal zone, often presenting themselves as amusement arcades or skill-based game businesses. Regulatory action has intensified; in 2025, the FGCC seized $14,474,336 and 6,725 illegal slot machines across the state, more than doubling the approximately $7 million seized the previous year. While sweepstakes casinos were not explicitly mentioned in the primary bills, provisions in HB 189 and HB 591 concerning internet gambling and dual-currency prize models could have applied to them. With the failure of both bills, these potential restrictions are not in effect. This article is provided by a third-party.

From SGD to Global Spending: How Singaporeans Can Avoid FX Fees While Travelling Overseas

SINGAPORE, Mar 23, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Travelling overseas is exciting, but foreign exchange (FX) fees can quietly add up and increase your overall trip expenses. Many Singaporeans are now exploring smarter ways to manage overseas spending, and a multi-currency debit card can help reduce unnecessary FX charges while shopping, dining, and booking activities abroad. Whether you are heading to Japan, Australia, Europe, or the US, understanding how FX fees work can help you stretch your Singapore dollars further. Even a 3% fee on a SGD 5,000 trip translates to SGD 150, which could easily cover a nice meal or attraction tickets.When spending overseas, banks typically apply a currency conversion spread and may also charge overseas transaction fees ranging between 2.5% and 3.5%. On top of that, dynamic currency conversion at merchants can add another 4-8% markup. These layered charges might not be obvious at checkout, but they can significantly increase your travel budget.With a bit of planning and the right payment tools, Singaporeans can minimise these costs and enjoy more transparent spending abroad.Understanding Where FX Fees Come FromBefore looking at solutions, it helps to understand how FX fees are structured. Most traditional credit and debit cards issued in Singapore apply a foreign transaction fee when you pay in a currency other than SGD. This fee usually combines the card network's conversion rate and an additional bank administrative charge.For example, if you spend the equivalent of SGD 1,000 in Bangkok or Seoul, a 3% fee adds around SGD 30 to your statement. Over a 10-day trip with shopping and dining expenses of SGD 4,000, total FX charges could reach SGD 120 or more. These amounts may seem small per transaction but can accumulate quickly across hotels, theme parks, transport passes, and shopping malls.How a Multi-Currency Debit Card Can HelpA multi-currency debit card allows users to hold and spend multiple foreign currencies directly from one account. Instead of converting SGD at the point of sale for every purchase, you can preload currencies such as USD, EUR, JPY, or AUD in advance. This setup can help reduce conversion fees and give you more control over exchange rates.For instance, if you are travelling to Japan and expect to spend the equivalent of SGD 3,000, you can convert SGD to JPY when rates are favourable before departure. If the exchange rate improves even by 1%, that difference could mean savings of around SGD 30 on your total spend.Many multi-currency debit cards also offer competitive interbank or near-interbank rates with low or zero foreign transaction fees. While terms vary by provider, this structure may result in lower overall costs compared to traditional cards. Additionally, you can track balances in different currencies via mobile apps, which helps you manage budgets more clearly during travel.Practical Ways Singaporeans Can Reduce FX ChargesBeyond choosing the right card, several practical habits can help minimise FX fees while shopping overseas.Pay in the local currency whenever possibleWhen a payment terminal offers the option to pay in SGD or the local currency, selecting the local currency can help you avoid dynamic currency conversion markups. Merchants may apply rates that are 4-8% higher than market rates when you choose SGD. On a SGD 2,000 shopping bill in Seoul, that difference could translate to an extra SGD 80 or more. Paying in the local currency often results in a more transparent rate from your bank or card provider.Plan large purchases in advanceIf you are considering buying luxury goods in Europe or electronics in Japan, estimating your total spend beforehand can help you prepare accordingly. Planning major purchases can also help you avoid last-minute conversions at less competitive airport rates.Avoid exchanging large sums at airportsAirport money changers often offer less competitive exchange rates compared to city money changers in Singapore or digital FX platforms. The difference might range from 1% to 3%. On SGD 2,000 exchanged at the airport, this gap could mean paying SGD 20 to SGD 60 more than necessary. Using a multi-currency debit card for most transactions can reduce the need to carry large amounts of cash.Monitor overseas ATM withdrawal feesWithdrawing cash overseas may involve both local ATM fees and your bank's overseas withdrawal charges. These combined costs can range between SGD 5 and SGD 15 per withdrawal, excluding FX spreads. Planning fewer, slightly larger withdrawals, or relying more on card payments, can help reduce repeated charges. Some multi-currency debit cards may offer more competitive ATM withdrawal terms, depending on the provider.Comparing Travel Spending OptionsCredit cards may offer travel rewards but often carry foreign transaction fees of around 3%. Using cash helps you to do away with card fees but requires you to exchange money upfront, sometimes at less competitive rates.A multi-currency debit card sits somewhere in between, combining digital convenience with potentially lower FX costs, while offering more flexibility. For frequent travellers visiting destinations like Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, Australia, or the US several times a year, this flexibility can make budgeting more predictable.Avoiding FX fees does not require complex strategies. Small adjustments in how you pay, when you convert currency, and which card you use can collectively reduce costs. While exchange rates fluctuate and fees vary across providers, informed decisions can help you minimise hidden charges and make the best of your overseas trips.Disclaimer: This article is for general information only and does not have any regard to the specific investment objectives, financial situation and particular needs of any specific person.

比特幣價格預測:Pepeto瞄準150倍漲幅,BTC守住68,000美元之際Pepe在迷因幣突破行情中強勢反彈

(SeaPRwire) -   Strategy 單週花費 15.7 億美元購買 22,337 顆 Bitcoin,創下 2026 年最大手筆購買紀錄,使其總持有量達到 761,068 BTC。 儘管這是比特幣價格預測的看漲信號,但追蹤機構資金流向的錢包正在悄悄建立不同部位。他們將大量資金轉入 Pepeto 預售,目前已籌集超過 800 萬美元,隨著 Binance 上市日期逼近,根據加密貨幣分析師指出,從預售到交易所的 150 倍漲幅是保守估計的底線。 Bitcoin Price Prediction Gets Support After Strategy Spends $1.57 Billion in a Single Week 根據 Yahoo Finance 報導,Strategy 在 3 月 9 日至 3 月 15 日期間以約 15.7 億美元購買了 22,337 BTC,平均每枚價格為 70,194 美元。 根據 FinanceFeeds 指出,該公司目前持有 761,068 BTC,目標在 2026 年底前達到 100 萬枚。此次購買主要透過 11.8 億美元的優先股銷售來籌資,顯示即使 BTC 價格低於 Strategy’s 平均成本 75,985 美元,機構投資信心依然強勁。 比特幣價格預測擁有最強力的企業支持者,但從 66,815 美元漲至 100,000 美元需要 45% 的漲幅,這需要耐心。 Bitcoin Price Prediction and the Presale Charting Its Own Path Pepeto 雖然 Bitcoin 持續吸引機構資金,但 Pepeto 並未跟隨 BTC 的浪潮,而是正在建立一個能獨立運作的項目,並由一個已經運行中的交易所支持。 即使在預售期間,相關工具也已上線運作,能在您的資金接觸到風險合約前攔截,並在任何比特幣價格預測圖表顯示之前就標示市場轉變。風險評分器會掃描每個項目是否存在隱藏陷阱和詐騙程式碼,而跨鏈橋樑則能以零成本在不同網路間轉移您的代幣,確保您發送的金額完整到達。 SolidProof 審計在預售開放前已驗證每份合約,隨著交易所工具已經運行,Pepeto 正為其 Binance 上市做準備。一旦交易開始,預售入口將永久關閉。現在投入的錢包還能獲得 195% APY 的質押收益,讓部位在其他人猶豫時持續增長。 預售已吸引超過 800 萬美元資金,證明需求真實且持續成長。開發團隊中有一位前 Binance 專家,而將 Pepe 打造至 110 億美元的共同創辦人,現在正以相同的 420 兆枚供應量建立交易所。 Pepe 在沒有任何產品的情況下達到 110 億美元市值。從目前 0.000000186 美元的進場價達到相同市值,漲幅超過 150 倍,而 Pepeto 擁有 PepetoSwap、橋樑和風險評分器,這些都是 Pepe 從未有過的。任何錯過 Pepe 幣致富機會的人,Pepeto 就是第二次機會。 比特幣價格預測將在數季和數年間展開。Pepeto 將這段距離壓縮到 Binance 上市開放和交易開始的那一刻,而這很快就會發生。 Bitcoin Price Prediction: Can BTC Reach $100,000 With Strategy Leading Corporate Demand? BTC 交易價格接近 66,815 美元,根據 CoinMarketCap 資料,截至 3 月 22 日,低於 3 月 17 日的 76,000 美元。 Strategy 在 2026 年的平均每週購買金額為 10 億美元,而現貨 BTC ETF 持有超過 550 億美元。 比特幣價格預測認為,若 Iran 局勢穩定且 Fed 轉向友善,100,000 美元目標是合理的。但從 66,815 美元起算,這需要 45% 的漲幅,並要求完整的宏觀經濟合作週期。 Pepe PEPE 交易價格接近 0.0000034 美元,根據 CoinMarketCap 資料,截至 3 月 22 日,較歷史高點 0.000028 美元下跌 85%。這個原始迷因幣證明,420 兆枚代幣和社群活力可以在零產品的情況下創造 110 億美元市值。 但從 0.0000034 美元起算,10 倍漲幅需要達到它僅短暫維持過的水平。Pepeto 擁有相同的供應量、相同的共同創辦人,以及 Pepe 從未建立的交易所。 Conclusion 比特幣價格預測證實,投資組合應始終包含早期進場項目,因為這些項目能帶來大型市值幣種無法比擬的回報。Pepeto 讓這個選擇變得簡單明瞭。此次預售團隊中有前 Binance 專家,已承諾超過 800 萬美元,且上市日期快速逼近。 早期購買 Pepe 的投資者將小額部位轉化為改變人生的財富,而他們每個人都希望自己當初買得更多。Pepeto 就是第二次機會,擁有更好的基礎設施、相同的共同創辦人,且預售每週都在加速結束。Pepeto 官方網站正是目前鎖定這些進場機會的地方。 Strategy 正在購買 15.7 億美元的 Bitcoin。Pepeto 內的錢包正瞄準 150 倍漲幅。 Click To Visit Pepeto Website To Enter The Presale FAQs Why is Bitcoin still below $100,000 despite the bitcoin price prediction from institutions? 比特幣價格預測需要降息、穩定的油價和宏觀經濟合作,這可能需要數月時間。Pepeto 的 Binance 上市將回報窗口壓縮到交易開始的那一刻。 Which is the best crypto to buy now? 現在最好的加密貨幣是 Pepeto 預售,因為它提供的潛在回報遠高於大型市值幣種。 Will Bitcoin reach $100,000 before Pepeto reaches a similar distance? Pepeto 官方網站提供的預售項目中,共同創辦人的第一個項目在零產品的情況下達到 110 億美元市值。從預售價格達到相同市值超過 150 倍,這是比特幣價格預測從 66,815 美元起算需要數年才能達到的距離。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Elon Musk Seeks New Chip Facility for Tesla and SpaceX

(AsiaGameHub) -   Elon Musk has outlined plans for a chip production project involving Tesla and SpaceX. The proposed facility, named Terafab, would be constructed near Tesla's operations in Austin, with the aim of fulfilling internal demand for AI and robotics chips. Good to Know Musk noted that chip supply is not keeping up with demand from Tesla and SpaceX. The proposed Terafab site would be located near Tesla's headquarters and the Austin gigafactory. Musk did not provide a timeline for the project during the Austin event. Musk Wants Direct Control of Chip Supply Rather than relying on external semiconductor suppliers, Elon Musk suggests Tesla and SpaceX may need to develop their own solution. Speaking at an event in downtown Austin on Saturday night, Musk stated that current chip manufacturers are not producing quickly enough to meet the needs of artificial intelligence and robotics across his companies. “We either build the Terafab or we don’t have the chips, and we need the chips, so we build the Terafab.” A photo displayed during the event indicated the site would be situated close to Tesla's headquarters and the company's gigafactory in Austin. This location would place the project adjacent to one of Tesla's primary manufacturing centers, while also linking it closely to broader work in AI, automation, and robotics.Musk described a very high target for output. He said the plan is to produce chips capable of supporting 100 to 200 gigawatts of computing power per year on Earth, along with a terawatt in space. He did not clarify when the project could start or how long construction and production setup might take. This absence of a timeline is significant because semiconductor manufacturing is one of the most challenging industrial sectors to execute. Chip fabrication requires extensive engineering expertise, lengthy build cycles, complex supply chains, and major capital investment. Musk is well-known for setting highly ambitious goals, and Bloomberg highlighted that he does not have a background in semiconductor manufacturing. Even so, the reasoning behind the proposal is easy to understand. Tesla is expanding further into AI and robotics, while SpaceX also requires more computing power for advanced systems. If external supply remains tight, an in-house or tightly controlled chip operation could give Musk greater certainty over one of the most critical components of that technology stack.
