Global Operators Give SDMC (00901.HK) a Route to Scale Its ‘First AI Home Stock’ Strategy

HONG KONG, Jun 9, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - SDMC’s “First AI Home Stock” narrative is supported not only by technology positioning, but also by its overseas customer network. The company has built a business model focused on global telecom operators and retailers, a channel structure that could become important if AI Home solutions move from product concepts into household deployment.The company generates more than 90% of its revenue from overseas markets. Its 2025 revenue structure was spread across Europe, the Americas and Asia excluding China, giving SDMC a more diversified international base than companies dependent on one domestic or regional market. That global footprint matters for AI Home because household intelligence products often require compatibility with local operators, content systems, connectivity standards and consumer usage habits.According to SDMC’s prospectus, since 2010 and up to the latest practicable date, the company had delivered smart home products, including end-to-end hardware and software solutions, to more than 300 global telecom operators and retailers, serving millions of households worldwide. For a company seeking to promote itself as the “First AI Home Stock,” that installed relationship base is a key asset. Operators already sit close to the home through broadband, television, content and device-management services, making them natural partners for AI Home commercialization.SDMC’s certification record also supports its international strategy. The company became one of the first companies in China to secure Google Android TV certification in 2017 and the first ODM company worldwide to secure Google TV projector certification in 2023. These credentials are relevant in overseas operator channels, where compliance, ecosystem compatibility and delivery reliability are often prerequisites for supplier selection.The investment case is that SDMC can use this operator network to extend its role from hardware supply to AI Home solutions. Digital video devices can provide the entertainment interface, network communication devices can provide household connectivity, and software platforms such as Cedar and XHome can provide coordination and device management. If operators adopt more integrated home services, SDMC’s existing B2B relationships may reduce the cost and time required to bring AI Home products to market.The risk is that the AI Home opportunity remains early, and customers may move cautiously before committing to large-scale deployments. SDMC will need to prove demand, monetization and repeat orders beyond its existing hardware base. Nevertheless, its global operator network gives the “First AI Home Stock” story a commercial route, rather than leaving it as a pure technology slogan for market audiences.

Inside the ‘First AI Home Stock’: SDMC (00901.HK) Builds an Agent-Led Ecosystem

HONG KONG, Jun 9, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - SDMC’s effort to promote itself as the “First AI Home Stock” rests on an ecosystem argument rather than a single-product claim. The company is positioning AI Home as a software-hardware framework that brings together an AI agent, home platforms, media terminals, connectivity devices and third-party smart devices under a more coordinated household system.At the center of that framework is Cedar, which the company describes in its prospectus as a Home AI agent supported by third-party large language models. Cedar is designed for smart home scenarios involving visual recognition, semantic understanding and natural language interaction. This gives SDMC a more tangible AI reference point than a general statement about adding artificial intelligence to devices.The role of Cedar is important because AI Home depends on more than connectivity. A conventional smart home can connect a speaker, camera, television box or router, but the user experience often remains fragmented. SDMC’s AI Home approach is intended to move the system toward intent recognition and cross-device coordination, where a software layer can interpret user needs and translate them into actions across different devices.Other platforms support that architecture. XMediaTV is linked to media streaming and content services, while XHome supports device management and control. Together with Cedar, these platforms form a software layer that can sit above SDMC’s hardware base. On the hardware side, products such as OTT TV boxes, projectors, smart speakers, cameras, Wi-Fi routers, optical network terminals and cable modems can act as entry points for household interaction, connectivity and scenario deployment.This is the strongest part of the “First AI Home Stock” story because it gives the narrative an operating structure. It allows SDMC to argue that it has the terminals, network layer and software tools needed to participate in the next stage of the home intelligence market. It also helps separate the company from a pure ODM profile, which is usually valued more on shipment scale and margin stability than on platform potential.The company still needs to demonstrate the commercial pace of this transition. Cedar was described as being in customer testing and commercialization preparation, and the revenue contribution from system platforms and services remains limited compared with hardware. Even so, the agent-led ecosystem gives SDMC a more credible basis for its AI Home positioning. If execution progresses, the company’s “First AI Home Stock” message could become a useful shorthand for a broader shift from connected devices to coordinated household intelligence.

SDMC (00901.HK) Pushes ‘First AI Home Stock’ Narrative After Hong Kong Listing

HONG KONG, Jun 9, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Shenzhen SDMC Technology Co., Ltd. (00901.HK, “SDMC”) is seeking to frame its Hong Kong listing around a clearer technology identity: the “First AI Home Stock.” The phrase gives the newly listed company a more focused capital-market narrative at a time when investors are looking beyond hardware shipments and toward companies that can connect devices, software platforms and artificial intelligence into practical household scenarios.SDMC’s business has historically been rooted in smart home products for enterprise customers, including digital video devices, network communication devices and software platforms. The company’s post-listing message is that these businesses are no longer separate product lines, but the foundation of an AI Home ecosystem. In that structure, digital video terminals provide household interaction points, network communication devices provide connectivity, and system platforms such as Cedar, XHome and XMediaTV provide the software layer for coordination and services.The distinction between Smart Home and AI Home is central to the company’s new positioning. Smart Home typically refers to connected devices that respond to user commands. AI Home, by contrast, points to a more proactive system that can understand intent, coordinate multiple devices and deliver services based on context. For SDMC, the “First AI Home Stock” narrative is therefore not only a marketing label, but an attempt to redefine the company’s valuation logic from hardware manufacturing to software-hardware integrated intelligence.The listing gives that message a financial anchor. SDMC has disclosed that approximately 35% of the net proceeds from its Global Offering will be used for AI Home-related technologies. That planned allocation makes AI Home one of the company’s most visible post-listing investment priorities and gives investors a concrete basis for assessing whether the strategy can translate into future growth. It also helps distinguish the company’s AI Home story from a short-term product campaign, because the use of proceeds points to sustained investment in technology development, platform capability and commercialization preparation after listing.The challenge will be execution. The company must show that its AI Home positioning can move from concept to revenue contribution, particularly as software platforms and AI-related services remain smaller than its hardware businesses. Still, the listing gives SDMC a timely opportunity to present itself as more than a device supplier. By using “First AI Home Stock” as its central message, the company is trying to link its public-market debut, enterprise customer base and technology roadmap into one forward-looking growth story for international public market investors worldwide.

Hua Medicine Advances Glucose Homeostasis Platform at ADA 2026, Showcasing Dorzagliatin’s Potential Across Metabolic Disease

SHANGHAI, Jun 9, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hua Medicine ("the Company", stock code: 2552.HK) presented a series of breakthrough research findings on dorzagliatin (Trade name: HuaTangNing, Trade name in Hong Kong: MYHOMSIS(R)), the world’s first-in-class glucokinase activator (GKA), at the 86th Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association (ADA). Through oral and poster presentations that demonstrated the breadth and depth of its science, the Company showcased data from its Metabolic Homeostasis Technology Platform, spanning combination therapies, large-scale real-world outcomes, AI-powered precision medicine, and personalized care tools.Collectively, the presentations continued to demonstrate the significance of dorzagliatin’s mechanism of action – restoring glucose homeostasis at its root cause – and its therapeutic potential across a spectrum of complex metabolic diseases including Type 2 diabetes (T2D), Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD), obesity, and Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young Type 2 (MODY2).The new research findings strengthen Hua Medicine’s position as a global leader in glucose homeostasis research.I. Leveraging Metabolic Homeostasis Platform to Expand Therapeutic Landscape for Metabolic DiseasesDorzagliatin targets glucokinase (GK), the body’s fundamental glucose sensor, by repairing impaired GK function and expression in patients with Type 2 diabetes to enhance glucose sensitivity. Through coordinated multi-organ regulation across the pancreas, liver, and intestines, dorzagliatin fundamentally restores glucose homeostasis and addresses a broad spectrum of metabolic disorders.Building on this unique mechanism, Hua Medicine presented three combination therapy studies in animal models of metabolic disorder at ADA 2026. The data demonstrate that dorzagliatin acts synergistically with oral small molecule GLP-1 receptor agonists, THR-β agonists, and pan-PPAR agonists. It delivers benefits well beyond glycemic control, including weight reduction, lipid modulation, uric acid reduction, and improved insulin sensitivity.In an oral presentation, Hua Medicine reported preclinical findings evaluating dorzagliatin in combination with the oral small molecule GLP-1 receptor agonist orforglipron. In a significant scientific first, this study demonstrated synergies between a GKA and a small molecule GLP-1RA in animal models, providing a mechanistic and clinical rationale for an oral combination regime that pairs homeostasis restoration with incretin activation. Taken together, the dose-sparing effect, where low-dose combinations achieved comparable efficacy to high-dose monotherapy, addresses one of the most common barriers to GLP-1RA adherence in clinical practice: gastrointestinal tolerability.The study used diet-induced obese (DIO) human GLP-1R transgenic mice, which recapitulate human obesity-associated Type 2 diabetes. The 4-week once-daily oral treatment systematically evaluated monotherapy and combination therapy across key efficacy and safety parameters, including glycemic control, insulin secretion, body weight and lipid profiles.In this model, dorzagliatin repairs GK function across the pancreas, liver, and intestines to restore glucose homeostasis, enhance glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS), and promote endogenous GLP-1 secretion.Orforglipron directly activates GLP-1 receptors to induce robust weight loss, glycemic control, and lipid improvement; although it also carries the risk of adverse gastrointestinal (GI) events.Synergistic Glycemic Control: Combination therapy produced superior glucose-lowering effects versus monotherapy and enabled dose sparing potential, with low-dose combinations achieving efficacy comparable to high-dose monotherapy. Orforglipron amplified dorzagliatin-mediated improvements in β-cell function and hepatic glucose metabolism.Enhanced β-Cell Function: Dorzagliatin improves the β-cell function of DIO mice, and combined treatment synergistically boosted insulin secretion and sensitivity for better glycemic control and β-cell protection.Preserved Weight and Lipid Benefits: The combination fully retained orforglipron-induced weight reduction and lipid-lowering effects.Favorable Safety and Tolerability: The combination was well tolerated with no new safety signals. Dose sparing markedly reduced common GLP-1RA-related GI side effects such as nausea and vomiting, improving long-term adherence.Together, these complementary mechanisms across glycemic control, weight loss, and lipid improvement, position the potential combination as a highly effective, well-tolerated, and differentiated oral option for T2D patients with obesity. Hua Medicine plans to advance clinical studies to evaluate efficacy, safety, optimal dosing, and target patient populations most likely to benefit.Hua Medicine also presented the findings of two additional combination therapy studies in poster presentations:1.Dorzagliatin + Resmetirom (THR-β Agonist): In DIO mice with MASLD, the combination synergistically improved systemic metabolism and exerted hepatoprotective effects, optimizing glycemic control, regulating lipids, reducing uric acid, and alleviating hepatic fibrosis. This supports the clinical potential of dorzagliatin for T2D patients with MASLD.2.Dorzagliatin + Chiglitazar (Pan-PPAR Agonist): The combination of dorzagliatin and the pan-PPAR agonist chiglitazar demonstrates significant synergistic metabolic benefits in DIO mice model of MASLD. The glucose-lowering effect is superior to monotherapy. At the same time, it optimizes basal glucose metabolism and improves glucose disposal following glucose challenge. Compared with monotherapy, this combination regimen more effectively improves glucose tolerance, reduces insulin resistance, enhances insulin sensitivity and β-cell function, and elevates high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in mice. These findings underscore the potential of this combination to address metabolic dysregulation in MASLD and provide important preclinical support for subsequent clinical research to explore its therapeutic value in the metabolic and liver diseases.Together, these studies demonstrate that dorzagliatin’s core mechanism of restoring metabolic homeostasis operates synergistically with multiple targeted agents, supporting its therapeutic potential in obesity, MASLD, and other metabolic disorders.II. Large-Scale Post-Marketing Real-World Study (BLOOM) Validates Long-Term Efficacy and SafetyAt ADA 2026, Hua Medicine presented further key results from the BLOOM study, a large-scale post-marketing real-world investigation of dorzagliatin in routine clinical settings.BLOOM aims to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of dorzagliatin in a broad, clinically diverse population of people with Type 2 diabetes. The BLOOM study enrolled 2,024 patients with Type 2 diabetes across 80 clinical centers in China (62% male; mean age 55.5 years; mean BMI 25.1 kg/m²; mean diabetes duration 7.9 years; baseline HbA1c 7.8%) with dorzagliatin treatment and follow-up lasting up to 52 weeks. It evaluated long-term safety and effectiveness of dorzagliatin as monotherapy or in combination with other anti-diabetic agents in real clinical settings, including elderly patients, people with renal impairment, and those on complex multiple-drug regimens including insulin. The study results demonstrated that:During the 52-week treatment period, no drug-related serious adverse events (SAEs) or severe hypoglycemia were reported over 52 weeks. Clinically meaningful hypoglycemia remained <1%, no new adverse events were seen compared with Phase â…¢ clinical trials.After 52 weeks, HbA1c was significantly reduced from baseline, and the proportion of patients achieving HbA1c <7% increased markedly.In patients with moderate-to-severe hyperglycemia (baseline HbA1c ≥8%), HbA1c decreased by 1.11%.Robust glycemic control was observed with dorzagliatin monotherapy and in combination with metformin, SGLT-2i, DPP-4i, GLP-1RA, and insulin.The BLOOM study’s large sample size, long 52-week duration, and multi-center real-world design provide robust evidence of dorzagliatin’s strong safety profile and consistent glycemic control across diverse T2D patients and therapeutic regimens found in real world clinical practice.Hua Medicine also presented interim findings from a real-world prospective observational study enrolling 255 patients with Type 2 diabetes who had baseline continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data. The majority of patients had long disease duration and were already receiving multi-drug regimens including insulin. Among this population, 190 T2D patients completed the six-month follow-up. The results are shown in the figure below: (HbA1c declined across all subgroups, with the greatest reduction observed in patients whose baseline TIR ≤50%)( TIR increased in the two subgroups with suboptimal baseline TIR, while the group with baseline TIR meeting the target maintained satisfactory TIR levels.)(β-cell function improved in all groups, with a marked elevation in HOMA-β seen in the subgroup with baseline TIR ≤50%)This subgroup analysis of the 6-month interim results indicates that dorzagliatin provides meaningful efficacy in glycemic control among real-world T2D patients that are characterized by long duration of disease and high prevalence of combination therapy with multiple antidiabetic agents, including insulin. Even in patients with severely compromised baseline TIR, clinically meaningful reductions in HbA1c, improved TIR, enhanced β-cell function, and reduced insulin resistance were observed, collectively indicating the restoration of glucose homeostasis.III. Deep Integration of AI Builds an Integrated System for Precision Diabetes Classification, Prediction, and CareBy integrating artificial intelligence (AI), large language models (LLM), and clinical big data around the core GK mechanism, Hua Medicine has developed a full suite of AI tools for efficacy prediction, diabetes remission forecasting, monogenic diabetes classification, and intelligent medical education.1.GK Charger: An LLM-powered interactive medical education platform that integrates molecular mechanisms, pharmacological profiles, clinical studies, guidelines, and real-world evidence. It translates complex GK-related scientific concepts into clinically actionable and non-specialist-friendly evidence-based content for clinicians, researchers, patients, and the public, supporting scalable precision medical education and adoption of GK-targeted therapies.2.Glycemic Control and Diabetes Remission Prediction Models: Clinician-oriented predictive tools built on dorzagliatin clinical data to estimate the probability of HbA1c response and diabetes remission after treatment. These web-based applications support personalized T2D management and precision medicine, with performance expected to improve as data accumulates.3.AI-Powered GK Variant Analysis System: A precision tool for MODY2 built on a database of approximately 1,000 GK variants, combining structural analysis, evolutionary modeling, and LLMs. It delivers 90% accurate predictions of variant location, functional impact, disease association, and dorzagliatin response in seconds, accelerating genetic diagnosis and targeted medication guidance for MODY2.Hua Medicine also introduced a novel ATP-independent enzymatic cycling system for highly efficient glucose removal from biological samples without generating oxidative byproducts or depleting ATP, preserving native metabolome integrity. It enables accurate quantification of 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG), a key marker for short-term glycemic variability, supporting reliable and high-throughput precision diabetes testing.Academic RecognitionNotably, Lingge Feng, Senior Director of Research and Discovery Technology at Hua Medicine, was awarded the ADA Early Career Abstract Award, earning recognition from the global diabetes research community.

收入利潤雙增 萬店網絡持續創新構築長期護城河

香港, 2026年6月9日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 據市場消息,鍋圈(02517.HK)正計劃將「社區央廚」模式引入香港,首家門店預計選址灣仔,並有望於年內開業。市場觀察指出,該門店的設立,反映集團兩方面考量:一方面,作為品牌的首次跨境嘗試,旨在檢驗境內「在家吃飯」的運營經驗在境外市場的適配性;另一方面,這也被視為鍋圈出海戰略的一次審慎探索,或為未來將優質中國食材供應鏈帶到國際市場的前期測試。門店網絡持續擴張 下沉市場仍為主要基礎截至2026年第一季度,鍋圈門店總數達11,758家,較去年同期淨增1,637家;其中,鄉鎮市場門店達3,123家。從門店結構來看,下沉市場仍是鍋圈門店網絡的重要組成部分,也構成其供應鏈、履約及會員觸達的基礎。市場人士認為,鍋圈的線下門店不僅承擔商品銷售功能,也在一定程度上扮演社區服務節點、即時配送前置點及本地流量入口的角色。這一模式的特點在於,公司可通過門店網絡接近家庭消費場景,並將線下客流、會員關係和線上訂單進行整合。從「選點」到「強基」 十年實業深耕的自然延伸與部分零售企業先通過線上流量擴張、再佈局線下渠道不同,鍋圈過去主要以線下門店和供應鏈建設作為起點。在形成全國性門店網絡、冷鏈倉配體系及家庭會員基礎後,公司近年再加大線上渠道、即時零售和數字化運營的投入。在這種模式下,鍋圈形成了包括門店覆蓋、供應鏈整合、冷鏈物流、數字化覆蓋、會員數據及社區品牌認知這六大結構性壁壘。萬店觸達與即時履約:11,758家門店覆蓋全國,每家門店都是前置倉。線上下單、門店核銷、半小時送達,形成基於實體門店的末端響應能力,與純電商模式形成差異。產業型供應鏈縱深:控股參股多家自有工廠,從源頭管理核心品類的品質與成本,實現「以銷定產、產地直送」。物流下沉與全鏈條交付:20座數字化中央倉構建冷鏈網絡,從省會到行政村實現次日達,覆蓋下沉市場的物流網絡。數據驅動的數字化決策:萬店實時銷售數據反哺選品、備貨與區域化定價,庫存周轉與損耗控制有助於優化庫存周轉與損耗控制。會員生態與復購引擎:近8,000萬會員沉澱家庭消費畫像,存量用戶復購效率對利潤增長的主貢獻持續提升。社區品牌心智壁壘:「在家吃飯就鍋圈」的品牌認知扎根社區,新業務(小炒、閃購、農場)無需從零教育市場,獲客成本相對較低。門店觸達支撐閃購效率,供應鏈縱深保證價格優勢,會員數據反哺選品精準,品牌心智降低擴張邊際成本。市場觀點認為,這些能力若能持續協同,將有助於公司提升門店經營效率。業績增長質量持續提升 大店調改釋放經營槓桿財務表現方面,2026年第一季度,鍋圈收入同比增長31.3%–37.2%;核心經營利潤預計為1.85–2.05億元,同比增幅達45.3%–61.0%。利潤增速高於收入增速,顯示公司在產品結構、費用控制及門店經營效率方面或有所改善。鍋圈自2025年下半年開始持續推進大店調改戰略,將門店從相對小的標準店升級為80-100平方米左右的「社區央廚」大店,經營品類從火鍋、燒烤拓展至早餐、即食、輕餐、酒飲等多時段,並通過24小時無人門店實現全天候服務能力。場景擴容疊加區域化精細運營(「店長之家」機制)共同帶動同店銷售與人效的雙重改善。持續回購與穩定派息 傳遞股東回報決心在回饋股東方面,鍋圈動作清晰連貫。2025年度末期股息每股人民幣0.0381元(約0.0435港元)已獲股東周年大會批准,將於2026年6月18日派發。股份回購層面,2026年4月,鍋圈宣佈擬動用不超過2億港元自有資金回購H股,回購價格上限為每次回購前五個交易日平均收市價溢價不超過5%。連續且規則的回購行為,疊加穩定派息,鍋圈此前在公告中表示,回購反映董事會對公司長期發展的信心。多重創新業務佈局 底層邏輯打通效率閉環除火鍋與燒烤的基本盤之外,鍋圈今年拓展覆蓋了小炒、露營、即時零售與源頭農產品等業務,相關業務均圍繞家庭餐食及社區消費場景展開,並依託既有門店網絡、供應鏈和會員體系推進。其中,鍋圈小炒以創新的商業模式填補外賣與家庭自煮之間的需求空間,鍋圈露營則將「在家吃飯」的場景延伸至戶外,本質都是社區央廚能力從「賣食材」升級為「賣解決方案」;而支撐這些場景落地的底層引擎,則是鍋圈閃購與鍋圈農場:鍋圈閃購將每一家門店變成前置倉,承接線上下單與即時履約需求;鍋圈農場以前端、中端、後端聯動的模式用榴槤等爆款單品為門店引流,驗證了高頻單品拉動復購的流量閉環。從業務邏輯看,這些新業務並非完全獨立運行,而是共用門店網絡、供應鏈與會員數據,基於實體基礎設施,鍋圈正在從單一品類的銷售終端,進化為覆蓋「一日五餐」及更廣泛的消費場景。 Copyright 2026 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

Revenue and Profit Rise as Guoquan’s 10,000-Store Network Strengthens Its Long-Term Moat

HONG KONG, Jun 9, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - According to market sources, Guoquan (02517.HK) is planning to bring its "community central kitchen" model to Hong Kong, with its first store expected to be located in Wan Chai and to open within the year. Market observers said the move reflects two considerations. First, as the brand’s first cross-border initiative, it will test whether Guoquan’s mainland operating experience in the "home dining" market can be adapted to an overseas setting. Second, it is viewed as a prudent first step in Guoquan’s overseas strategy, and may serve as an early trial for bringing China’s high-quality food ingredient supply chain to international markets.Store Network Continues to Expand, with Lower-Tier Markets Still the Core BaseAs of the first quarter of 2026, Guoquan had 11,758 stores nationwide, a net increase of 1,637 from a year earlier. Among them, 3,123 stores were located in township-level markets. In terms of network structure, lower-tier markets remain an important part of Guoquan’s store base and a foundation for its supply chain, fulfillment capabilities and member reach.Market participants noted that Guoquan’s offline stores do more than sell products. To some extent, they also function as community service nodes, front-end fulfillment points for instant delivery and local traffic gateways. The model allows the Company to stay close to household consumption scenarios through its store network, while integrating offline foot traffic, member relationships and online orders.From Site Selection to Foundation Building: A Natural Extension of a Decade of Industrial DevelopmentUnlike some retailers that first scale through online traffic before building offline channels, Guoquan began with physical stores and supply chain development. After building a nationwide store network, a cold-chain warehousing and distribution system, and a household member base, the Company has in recent years stepped up investment in online channels, instant retail and digital operations.Under this model, Guoquan has developed six structural barriers: store reach, supply chain integration, cold-chain logistics, digital capabilities, member data and community-based brand recognition.10,000-store reach and instant fulfillment: With 11,758 stores across China, each store can serve as a front-end fulfillment point. Online ordering, in-store redemption and delivery within around half an hour give Guoquan a last-mile response capability based on physical stores, differentiating it from pure e-commerce models.Deep industrial supply chain: Guoquan controls or holds stakes in a number of production plants, enabling it to manage the quality and cost of core categories at the source and support a model of production driven by sales and direct sourcing from origins.Lower-tier logistics and full-chain delivery: A network of 20 digital central warehouses supports cold-chain distribution and enables next-day delivery from provincial capitals to administrative villages, extending logistics coverage into lower-tier markets.Data-driven digital decision-making: Real-time sales data from the store network feeds back into product selection, inventory planning and regional pricing, helping improve inventory turnover and loss control.Member ecosystem and repurchase engine: A base of nearly 80 million members provides insight into household consumption patterns, while repeat purchases from existing users are becoming an increasingly important contributor to profit growth.Community brand mindshare: The brand association of "Guoquan for home dining" has taken root in communities. As a result, new businesses such as stir-fry, instant commerce and Guoquan Farm do not need to educate the market from scratch, helping keep customer acquisition costs relatively low.Store reach supports the efficiency of instant commerce; supply chain depth underpins pricing advantages; member data improves product selection accuracy; and brand mindshare reduces the marginal cost of expansion. Market participants believe that, if these capabilities continue to reinforce one another, they should help improve the Company’s store operating efficiency.Growth Quality Improves as Large-Store Upgrades Release Operating LeverageIn terms of financial performance, Guoquan’s revenue increased by 31.3% to 37.2% year on year in the first quarter of 2026. Core operating profit is expected to reach RMB185 million to RMB205 million, representing year-on-year growth of 45.3% to 61.0%. Profit growth outpaced revenue growth, suggesting possible improvement in product mix, cost control and store operating efficiency.Since the second half of 2025, Guoquan has been advancing its store-format upgrade strategy, converting smaller standard stores into larger “community central kitchen” formats of around 80 to 100 square meters. Its product categories have expanded from hotpot and barbecue to breakfast, ready-to-eat meals, light meals, alcoholic beverages and other daypart-driven offerings, while 24-hour unmanned stores add round-the-clock service capability. The broader range of consumption scenarios, together with regionalized refined operations through the "Store Manager Home" mechanism, has supported improvements in both same-store sales and staff efficiency.Continued Share Repurchases and Stable Dividends Signal Commitment to Shareholder ReturnsOn shareholder returns, Guoquan has taken clear and consistent steps. The final dividend for 2025 of RMB0.0381 per share, equivalent to approximately HK$0.0435, has been approved at the annual general meeting and will be paid on 18 June 2026. In terms of share repurchases, Guoquan announced in April 2026 that it planned to use up to HK$200 million of internal funds to repurchase H shares, with the repurchase price capped at no more than a 5% premium to the average closing price over the five trading days preceding each repurchase. The Company previously stated in its announcement that the repurchase reflected the Board’s confidence in the Company’s long-term development.Multiple New Initiatives Build an Efficiency FlywheelBeyond its core hotpot and barbecue business, Guoquan has this year expanded into stir-fry, camping, instant retail and directly sourced agricultural products. These initiatives are all centered on household meals and community consumption scenarios, and are being developed on the back of the Company’s existing store network, supply chain and membership system.Guoquan Stir-fry uses an innovative business model to address demand between takeout and home cooking, while Guoquan Camping extends the "home dining" scenario into outdoor settings. In essence, both reflect an upgrade of the community central kitchen capability from selling ingredients to providing solutions. Supporting the rollout of these scenarios are Guoquan Instant Commerce and Guoquan Farm. Guoquan Instant Commerce turns each store into a front-end fulfillment point for online orders and instant delivery, while Guoquan Farm links the front, middle and back ends of the supply chain, using popular products such as durian to drive store traffic and test a traffic loop in which high-frequency items support repeat purchases.From a business logic perspective, these new initiatives are not operating as standalone businesses. They share the same store network, supply chain and member data. Built on its physical infrastructure, Guoquan is evolving from a single-category retail outlet into a broader consumption platform covering "five meals a day" and a wider range of daily consumption scenarios.

Slovak-Japanese Animated Film “Angel & Meow” Wins Prestigious Crystal Pine Award, Decided by an Oscar and BAFTA-Winning Jury

KOSICE, SLOVAKIA, June 9, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The original film by Vlado Zelezňák Jr. has achieved remarkable international success. The new Slovak-Japanese animated sci-fi film Angel & Meow celebrated its World Premiere by winning the prestigious Crystal Pine Award. The film proved its quality against an immense global competition of nearly 1,000 entries from 81 countries. This achievement is particularly notable as the film was produced as a fully independent project by the Slovak company GONG Art Company, led by Vlado Zelezňák Sr.The success took place at the 14th International Sound & Film Music Festival (ISFMF) in Varazdin, Croatia, which ranks among the world’s three most significant festivals dedicated to film music and sound. The gala ceremony was held in the magnificent historic setting of the Croatian National Theatre (HNK Varazdin).In the Company of Oscar Winners and Hollywood Stars The winners were selected by a prestigious international jury consisting of elite professionals—recipients and nominees of Oscar, Emmy, BAFTA, Grammy, and César awards. The jury president for this year was the legendary and respected actor Ciarán Hinds. Widely considered one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation, Hinds is known to audiences for global blockbusters such as Game of Thrones, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the Oscar-winning drama Belfast, and the animated phenomenon Frozen.Slovak creators stood on stage alongside the world’s absolute elite. Other award-winning personalities at this year’s festival included Hollywood actor Simon Pegg (Mission: Impossible, Star Trek), who received a Lifetime Achievement Award, and Oscar-winning sound designer James Mather (Top Gun: Maverick). The Slovak team shared the spotlight with elite sound professionals from the film Sirât, including Yasmina Praderas (Goya winner and Oscar nominee) and Laia Casanovas (European Film Award and Goya winner).Personal Moments from the Festival Stage The heart and engine of the project is Slovak producer, screenwriter, composer, and sound designer Vlado Zelezňák Jr., who accepted the award directly from the festival directors. During the gala, he experienced unforgettable personal encounters with the world’s biggest film stars."When we stood on stage after the announcement, I expressed my appreciation to the jury president, Ciarán Hinds, for his work. I was delighted that he already recognized our film—he responded immediately with a wide smile by singing the title of our project. It was a pleasant and spontaneous experience," recalls Vlado Zelezňák Jr.The meeting with Hollywood actor Simon Pegg was equally emotional. "I spoke with Simon on the day of the World Premiere, where I had the opportunity to introduce our film to him personally. When we met again on stage the next day during the awards ceremony, it was great to see that he was familiar with Angel & Meowand congratulated me with a smile again. These moments are a huge encouragement for my future work," adds the Slovak creator.The entire event was managed by the festival founders. The gala was hosted by Artistic Director Ozren K. Glaser, who publicly congratulated Vlado Zelezňák Jr. on stage, while Executive Director Marijana Glaser ceremoniously presented the Crystal Pine Award. "Our huge thanks go to the three main organizers from the Glaser family—Marijana, Ozren, and producer Zeljko Glaser. I would like to express my appreciation for their excellent, professional organization and for building a festival of a truly Hollywood standard, where one felt like they were at the Oscars from the very first moment," concludes Vlado Zelezňák Jr.A World Premiere of Visual Poetry Before an Elite Audience The World Premiere of Angel & Meow, held on May 22 at CineStar Varazdin, played to a fully packed theater. The audience consisted of an elite group of nominated composers, sound designers, and filmmakers from around the world. The premiere was attended in person by living legends of the film industry, such as Oscar-winning sound mixer Mark Ulano (Titanic, Inglourious Basterds), as well as singer and producer Kathy Kelly from the legendary group The Kelly Family.In addition to high-quality animation and visuals, the international jury praised the film’s powerful sound design, original score, and the overall story, all created by Vlado Zelezňák Jr. The visual and animation components were crafted by a top-tier Japanese team in Tokyo, led by director and lead animator Clemhyn Escosora from Adarnia studio (a subsidiary of Fuji Corp.).Global Sound Design and a Soundtrack as a Narrator Since the story relies on the pure power of image and sound, the meticulously designed sound and film music step into the spotlight, taking on the role of the primary narrator alongside the animation. The resulting soundtrack is exceptionally rich, varied, and intense."The sound design was created all over the world. While atmospheric sounds were recorded directly on the streets and coast of Cannes, the orchestral and electronic music was composed in studios in Slovakia. To achieve absolute authenticity, we recorded live animals and constantly experimented with sound," explains Vlado Zelezňák Jr. Over the 15-minute runtime, the viewer experiences diverse musical landscapes—from massive orchestral passages and intimate piano and guitar moments to pure sci-fi sounds of analog Moog synthesizers and wind instruments.Sound in the Hands of a Living Legend The final sound mastering was handled in the USA by an absolute legend in the field—Vlado Meller, in his prestigious American studio. Throughout his rich career, he has collaborated with icons such as Céline Dion, Andrea Bocelli, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Meller recently exclusively finished Dolby Atmos mastering for Michael Jackson’s legendary albums for Sony USA, released in conjunction with the recently unveiled biographical film hit Michael.Angel & Meow has shown from the very start that independent Slovak production from the GONG Art Company workshop, combined with an original script, film music, and sound design, can successfully stand its ground on the international stage against the world's biggest productions.About GONG Art Company30 Years of Creativity and Innovation GONG Art Company is an established pillar of the Slovak audiovisual scene with a nearly 30-year history. The company is renowned for its long-standing technological and creative co-production work with Slovak National Television and Radio, providing comprehensive music production for iconic projects such as Hviezdička and Zlatá brána. The company has been awarded multiple Gold and Platinum records for its music production and children's audio titles.Today, GONG operates as a modern production house focused on international film co-productions. The company manages its own film projects, with in-house recording studios dedicated to film scoring and sound design.

TON Corporation to Launch ‘TonTV’, a Telegram-Native Short-Drama Platform, Globally in September 2026

HO CHI MINH / SEOUL, June 8, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Global content-tech company TON Corporation (CEO Henry Kim) today announced that it will officially launch 'TonTV', its Telegram-native short-drama platform, worldwide in September 2026. TonTV lets the ~1 billion people who use Telegram each month instantly and freely watch short dramas with a single Telegram account — with no separate app install and no complicated sign-up.Short drama is one of entertainment's fastest-rising categoriesShort-form drama has moved to the center of global media consumption. Global in-app revenue for short dramas reached $2.98 billion in 2025, up 115% year over year, and in Q4 2025 short-form titles overtook long-form streaming apps in downloads for the first time (733M vs. 658M), according to Sensor Tower and Omdia. With short runtimes, high completion rates, and mobile-first immersion, the format is growing fastest among younger viewers. TonTV places dramas of around two minutes at the heart of this trend — short but intense chapters that build a "can't-stop-once-you-start" experience.The Telegram Mini App: tearing down the barrier to entryTonTV's core strength is that it runs atop Telegram, a massive global platform. Existing OTT services require a long entry sequence — app-store search → download → install → sign-up → enter payment details. TonTV removes it: open the Mini App inside Telegram → watch instantly, for free.The user reach that global OTT leaders such as Netflix and Disney+ built over years and at enormous cost is something TonTV can address from day one, across Telegram's ~1 billion monthly users. This dramatically lowers user-acquisition cost while driving early growth through natural word-of-mouth across Telegram's groups and channels.Three years of preparation, and "why we can win"TonTV did not appear overnight. Over the past three years, TON Corporation has focused on platform-technology development, global content partnerships, and a local-operations model in preparation for launch.CTO Tony cited the following reasons TonTV can be a market "game changer" rather than a late follower:Frictionless reach — among the first specialized short-drama platforms to reach Telegram's ~1 billion monthly users, free, in one clickFree entry — anyone can start at no cost, a strong advantage for early user acquisitionNetwork effects — discussion, sharing, and recommendation happen at the same moment as viewingViewer-participation rewards — enjoying content itself returns benefits and rewards, building loyaltySimultaneous global release — worldwide at once, with no region-by-region app-store approvalOn these strengths, TonTV aims to grow beyond short drama into real-time formats such as live streaming over time.A 'new stage' for producers, actors, and staff worldwideTonTV goes beyond a viewing platform to open opportunity for the global content industry. Producers can showcase work directly to a global audience; actors and staff can widen their stage across borders. For emerging teams and new actors who have struggled to get a chance at traditional broadcasters or large OTTs, TonTV offers an open stage judged on ability — creating jobs across planning, production, acting, and post-production."Global one platform, local content"TonTV places local subsidiaries in major markets — Korea, Japan, Vietnam, India, Indonesia, and the Philippines — planning and producing content suited to each region's culture on the ground. Combining a global platform's scale with local content's intimacy, TonTV aims to be a true global OTT where anyone can enjoy "stories from home." The local-subsidiary model expands content and markets quickly while keeping head-office cost low.A dual revenue model: "growth and profit together"TonTV operates a dual model: a free, ad-supported tier where all users watch at no cost, and a premium subscription for an ad-free experience. Advertiser acquisition and content production through local subsidiaries create a cycle in which ad and subscription revenue grow with the user base. Telegram's low acquisition cost and short-form's high completion rates support this model.Comment from TON Corporation CTO TonyCTO Tony said: "For the past three years we've focused everything on creating the easiest, most enjoyable way to watch drama. On Telegram — a playground of a billion people — TonTV sets a new standard for short drama anyone can enjoy free, with a single account."He added: "TonTV will create the best experience for viewers, a new stage for creators, and new jobs for the industry — and our ambition is to become the global leader in short-drama and live content."Future plansFrom its September 2026 launch, TonTV plans to rapidly expand its content lineup and service regions, broaden from short drama into real-time formats such as live streaming, and accelerate global expansion through its local subsidiaries.About TON CorporationTON Corporation is a global content-tech company headquartered in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. Through TonTV, its Telegram-native short-drama platform, it aims to deliver a new entertainment experience to users worldwide and open opportunity for global content creators.Media ContactBrand: TON CorporationContact: PR TeamWebsite: https://tontv.toncorp.ioTelegram: https://t.me/TontvOfficialChannel Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Everest Medicines Enters into Asset Purchase Agreement with Corxel Pharmaceuticals to Develop and Commercialize LNZ100 in Greater China, Strengthen Presence in Ophthalmology

HONG KONG, Jun 8, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Everest Medicines (HKEX 1952.HK) announced that it has entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Corxel Pharmaceuticals (“CORXEL”). Under the agreement, Everest has acquired the rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize LNZ100 (1.44% aceclidine, U.S. brand name VIZZ) in Greater China, including Chinese mainland, Hong Kong SAR, Macao SAR, and Taiwan region. Everest will pay an upfront payment and potential development milestone payments. As part of this agreement, Everest will be assigned and transferred the rights and obligations under the LENZ License Agreement entered into by CORXEL in April 2022 and certain related ancillary agreements. This transaction is expected to further expand the Company’s innovative product portfolio, strengthen its presence in ophthalmology, and enhance overall strategic synergies across its business.LNZ100 is a once-daily prescription eye drop indicated for the treatment of presbyopia. Its active ingredient, aceclidine, is a small molecule acetylcholine receptor agonist that causes pupil contraction, or miosis, creating a pinhole effect that improves near vision. Studies have shown that aceclidine's mechanism of action (MOA) is well positioned to create a pinhole pupil effect while avoiding the impairment of distance vision called myopic shift. Aceclidine's unique pupil selective MOA, in which miosis is decoupled from myopic shift, is expected to allow it to target a broad patient population.According to publicly available information, LNZ100 received approval in the United States in July 2025 and was commercially launched in October of the same year. In China, the New Drug Application (NDA) for LNZ100 was submitted in September 2025, with approval expected in the first quarter of 2027. The therapy has the potential to address a significant unmet medical need in China and position itself as a best-in-class, non-invasive treatment option for presbyopia.“The acquisition of LNZ100 represents an important step in advancing Everest’s strategic focus in ophthalmology. LNZ100 is a differentiated asset with meaningful clinical value and strong commercial potential in the treatment of presbyopia,” said Yifang Wu, Chairman of the Board of Everest Medicines. “As the presbyopia patient population continues to grow, significant unmet needs remain in non-invasive treatment options. We believe LNZ100 has the potential to offer patients a novel, non-invasive therapeutic option and to further broaden the landscape of innovative ophthalmic treatments. The product has already been approved in the United States and is currently under regulatory review in China. We will continue to advance its development and commercialization to make this therapy accessible to presbyopia patients.”Ms. Sandy Mou, Board Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of CORXEL, said: “We are confident that Everest Medicines’ strong commercialization capabilities will accelerate LNZ100’s market access and bring this innovative treatment to more presbyopia patients in China. Following this transaction, CORXEL’s pipeline will be entirely focused on cardiometabolic therapies. The proceeds from the transaction will enable CORXEL to accelerate the global clinical development of its innovative cardiometabolic pipeline.”Presbyopia is a physiological phenomenon associated with aging that results in a progressively worsening ability to see nearby objects clearly. It is caused by the gradual hardening of the lens. This results in a decline of the eye’s adjustment function, and the inability to focus the image of nearby objects on the retina, leading to a decline in near vision. Studies have shown that the onset of presbyopia typically occurs around the age of 38, reaching a prevalence rate of nearly 100 percent at the age of 52 in China. Currently, the treatment options for presbyopia are very limited. Wearing glasses requires frequent removal and insertion, causing many inconveniences in work and life. Surgery, as an irreversible and invasive operation, has very limited acceptance. There are no approved drugs for the treatment of presbyopia in China and the medical need for non-invasive, safe, efficient and reversible treatments for presbyopia remains unsolved.The NDA acceptance of LNZ100 by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of the People’s Republic of China is based on the data from China Phase 3 Trial. The study was a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled study, including a 4-week efficacy study followed by a 6-month extension safety study, designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LNZ100 (an aceclidine-based ophthalmic solution) in participants with presbyopia. The objectives were to assess the potential of LNZ100 to improve near vision among Chinese presbyopia patients and to evaluate the efficacy and safety profiles. The trial has enrolled 300 participants.The results showed that LNZ100 achieved the primary endpoint and key secondary endpoints, with statistically significant three-lines or greater improvement in Best Corrected Distance Visual Acuity (BCDVA) at near, and maintaining their optimal distance visual acuity (i.e., not losing 5 or more letters). Results also showed (all p<0.0001) a rapid onset of action, with 84% and 69% of participants achieving two-line and three-line or greater improvements, respectively, within 30 minutes of administration. The effect was also durable, with 61% and 30% of participants continuing to achieve two-line and three-line or greater improvements, respectively, at 10 hours. In addition, LNZ100 was well tolerated, and no serious treatment-related adverse events were observed in the trial.In recent years, Everest has built a proven platform for the commercialization of innovative medicines, integrating scientific and commercial insights with coordinated access, medical, marketing, and sales (A2MS). As multiple innovative products have entered the commercialization stage, the platform’s scale and synergy effects continue to strengthen. Against this backdrop, the acquisition of late-stage assets with clear clinical value and commercial potential has become an important approach for Everest to enrich its product portfolio and expand future growth opportunities. The acquisition of Greater China rights to LNZ100 further strengthens Everest Medicines’ presence in the ophthalmology and is expected to generate synergies with its existing commercialization infrastructure, supporting the continued realization of the asset’s commercial value.

龍豐低估值疊加高股息 價值顯現

香港, 2026年6月8日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 龍豐集團(2290)剛於週五掛牌上市,公開發售超過660倍。按週五收市價計,市值約14.05億港元,公司預估2026財年純利約2.65億港元,即2026年預測市盈率只有5.3倍,大幅低於同業如DFI零售集團(22.2倍)、莎莎國際(26.8倍)及國際家居零售(12倍),反映其估值遠低於同業水平,存在較大的重估空間,對投資者而言具備良好的配置價值。此外,龍豐上市後預期每年派息不少於可分配溢利的50%,按現價計算股息率約達9.4%,遠超同業普遍的3%至6%及行業平均4%水平。當前同業估值偏高且回報有限,龍豐卻能同時提供低估值與高股息,性價比優勢不言而喻。基本面穩固加上全渠道發力,後市可為投資最重要的是看公司的前景及基本面。龍豐現有31間分店,主打「一站式」購物體驗,吸引大量本地消費者及遊客。公司計劃未來三個財年新增18至21間門店,考慮到其新店平均僅需3個月內即達至收支平衡,2至8個月內回本,足見其營運效率與盈利能力在行業中具備無可比擬的競爭優勢。此外,龍豐單店可售SKU超過9,000個,涵蓋美容護膚、保健品、醫藥、母嬰等11個核心品類,惟公司並未止步,持續拓展商品組合和種類,並深化自家品牌發展。自家品牌具備較高毛利及差異化優勢,有助進一步提升品牌價值與盈利能力。除線下擴張外,龍豐同步推進線上渠道建設,實現線上線下協同發展。公司計劃通過目前合作的天貓、京東等主流電商平台加強銷售,同時積極佈局抖音等新興社交電商渠道,通過內容營銷觸達更廣泛的中國內地消費群體,持續完善線上銷售網絡。儘管目前線上業務佔比仍然較低,但隨着消費模式轉變,相關渠道具備較大成長空間。公司亦計劃持續優化會員體系及強化數據分析能力,以提升轉化率及用戶黏性,同時推動線上與線下庫存及銷售協同,提升整體營運效率。隨着全渠道策略逐步深化,龍豐有望在拓闊收入來源的同時,提升經營靈活性與資源配置效率,為未來業績提供持續支撐。供應鏈垂直延伸,盈利質量持續提升龍豐已建立覆蓋全球的採購體系,與超過600家供應商保持合作,來源涵蓋日本、韓國及歐美市場,為產品多樣性及成本競爭力提供穩固支撐。公司更計劃透過策略投資及併購延伸至上游供應商及OEM製造端,全面提升供應鏈掌控力。隨着中間環節減少及規模效應釋放,成本控制能力持續改善,毛利率已由2023財年的約24.9%提升至2025財年的約31.6%。隨着未來逐步參與上游環節,公司在產品定價、產品開發及供應節奏上將具備更高靈活性,亦有助支持自有品牌發展,進一步提升盈利質量。對市場而言,這類由零售端向上游供應鏈延伸的模式升級,往往為估值提供重新定價的契機。龍豐集低估值及高股息於一身。在業績持續增長的同時,供應鏈延伸、門店擴張及全渠道發展等發展策略清晰落地,為未來提供多重支撐,而穩定派息政策則構建可靠的現金回報基礎。相比同業動輒20倍以上市盈率水平,龍豐在估值與回報兩方面均具明顯優勢。在估值尚未充分反映其盈利質素及成長潛力的情況下,隨着業績兌現、規模效應釋放及業務結構優化逐步體現,市場對其盈利質素的認知有望提升。對於同時關注增長與收益的投資者而言,龍豐的價值正逐步顯現。 Copyright 2026 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

千百度控股本原智數:構建「鞋履+AI 數據」雙主業

香港, 2026年6月8日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 千百度國際控股有限公司(股份代號:1028.HK,下稱「千百度」或「集團」)宣佈,已與國內領先的人工智慧數據服務商本原智數及其股東訂立投資協定:集團將通過收購現有股權並認購新股,於交易完成後取得本原智數控股權益,並將其併入集團合併報表。至此,千百度在保持鞋履主業穩健經營的同時,正式形成「鞋履 + 人工智慧數據」雙主業格局。這是一項將已實現盈利、並經頭部客戶長期驗證的人工智慧數據業務納入集團的戰略佈局——其增長建立在真實的收入與利潤之上。一、為什麼是數據:AI 的競爭,正從「算力」轉向「經驗」人工智慧的競爭正在發生一次底層轉移。過去十年,勝負主要由算力和模型架構決定;但當公開數據被大模型逐漸消化、當算力與演算法日益普及,下一階段的關鍵瓶頸已不再是「誰的模型更大」,而是「誰能持續為模型提供新的、更難的、來自真實世界的高品質經驗」。這正是這條賽道稀缺而關鍵的價值:算力可以採購,演算法可以複現,但把人類專家的專業判斷、把真實物理世界的交互回饋,規模化且可驗證地轉化為模型可學習的數據——這件事又難、又慢、難以靠資本速成,是行業真正的關鍵環節。業界已將 2026 年視為具身智慧的「數據規模化元年」,市場也在為這一判斷重新定價:2025 年,Meta 以約 143 億美元、對應約 290 億美元估值投資數據標注企業 Scale AI,反映出人工智慧數據已從「成本項」被重新認識為「戰略資產」。二、為什麼是本原:處在價值鏈中最關鍵、最難替代的環節本原智數成立於 2015 年,處於人工智慧產業鏈的上游,核心業務在於將人類的專業知識與經驗,轉化為人工智慧模型可供訓練及驗證的高品質數據。有別於門檻較低的通用標注,它專注於技術難度較高、專業要求較強的數據服務,並已成長為國內少數同時具備大模型、世界模型與具身智慧完整數據服務能力的供應商之一,在「物理 AI」浪潮中佔據稀缺身位。它的競爭優勢,是被要求最高的客戶、用最具挑戰性的任務長期驗證出來的。本原智數長期服務國內領先的大模型基座廠商、頭部互聯網平台、一線遊戲發行商及領先的具身智慧企業,承接其技術難度較高、品質要求嚴苛的數據任務——組織數學、代碼、法律、醫療等領域專業人員完成專家級標注,構建衡量模型真實能力的評測數據集,並為世界模型重構虛擬環境數據、為具身智慧採集真實物理世界的交互數據。該等合作須經嚴格准入、長期磨合與持續品質驗證,本原智數在若干高價值數據品類上為相關客戶的獨家數據供應商,客戶黏性較強、可持續性較高。依託遍佈全國的十大交付中心、數十萬行業專家眾包網络及自研的數據平台,本原智數具備在高資訊安全標準下規模化交付的能力。這還是一家已實現盈利的AI公司。 截至 2024 年及 2025 年 12 月 31 日止兩個年度,本原智數收入分別約為人民幣 1.465 億元及 1.562 億元,除稅後淨利分別約為人民幣 710 萬元及 1,110 萬元;據其最新管理帳目,2026 年首五個月收入實現了強勁增長。在AI領域普遍依賴外部融資的環境中,一家依託真實訂單與收入增長、且已實現盈利的數據公司,具有稀缺性。三、為什麼是這個結構:穩健的投入、雙引擎、與被守護的中立本次交易的設計,兼顧了買賣雙方與客戶三方的利益。穩健投入。 本次交易以集團內部資源支付。千百度鞋履主業持續產生穩定的經營現金流、維持淨現金狀況,為發展中的人工智慧數據業務提供資金基礎,無須依賴大規模外部融資。投向成長。 本次交易中用於認購新股的對價,將投入本原智數的產能擴張與技術研發;同時,創始團隊將保留部分權益,與集團利益保持一致。中立得以保全。 交易完成後,本原智數將保持獨立品牌與獨立運營,並實施數據隔離機制。由於千百度本身不從事人工智慧模型業務、不與本原智數的客戶構成競爭,彼此競爭的行業客戶得以繼續放心地與同一家中立供應商合作;對一家數據公司而言,一個不損害其中立性的資本結構尤為重要。此外,本原智數的數據及數據治理能力,亦可應用於集團鞋履零售的供應鏈、設計與行銷環節,以人工智慧提升傳統主業的運營效率。四、管理層寄語千百度管理層表示:「我們相信,高品質數據是人工智慧時代最關鍵、也最稀缺的基礎設施之一。本次交易使集團以穩健的消費實業為基礎,切入這一高速增長的領域。我們將與本原智數一道,長期為中國 AI 產業提供高品質的『數據燃料』,在雙主業格局下為股東創造可持續的長期價值。」本原智數創始人兼CEO李逆勇亦將於同日發表公開信,分享公司願景與此次合作的意義。 Copyright 2026 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

C.banner to Acquire Controlling Stake in Benyuan Zhishu to Establish Dual-core Businesses: Footwear + AI Data

HONG KONG, Jun 8, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - C.banner International Holdings Limited (Stock Code: 1028.HK, hereinafter referred to as "C.banner" or the "Group") announced that it has signed an investment agreement with Benyuan Zhishu, a leading domestic AI data service provider, and its shareholders: The Group will acquire controlling equity in Benyuan Zhishu through existing equity purchase and new share subscription, incorporating it into the Group's consolidated financial statements after the transaction is completed. With this, C.banner has formally established a dual-core business framework of "Footwear + Artificial Intelligence Data" while maintaining stable operations in its footwear business.This is a strategic layout that integrates an AI data business that has demonstrated profitability and has been validated by top-tier customers over the long term—its growth is based on real revenue and profit.I.Rationale for Data: The Competition in AI is Shifting from "Computing Power" to "Experience"The competition in artificial intelligence is undergoing a foundational shift. Over the past decade, outcomes were mainly determined by computing power and model architecture; however, as public data is gradually absorbed by large models and computing power and algorithms become increasingly common, the next critical bottleneck is no longer "whose model is bigger," but "who can continuously provide models with new, more complex, real-world high-quality experiences."This is precisely the rare and critical value of this field: computing power can be purchased, algorithms can be replicated, but scaling and verifying the transformation of expert human judgments and real-world physical interaction feedback into model-trainable data is challenging, slow, and not easily expedited by capital—making it the truly essential step in the industry. The industry has identified 2026 as the "Year of Data Scaling" for embodied intelligence, and the market is repricing accordingly: In 2025, Meta invested approximately $14.3 billion, corresponding to a valuation of around $29 billion, in data annotation company Scale AI, reflecting a shift in the perception of AI data from a "cost item" to a "strategic asset."II.Rationale for Benyuan Zhishu: Positioned at the Most Critical and Irreplaceable Step in the Value ChainBenyuan Zhishu, established in 2015, operates upstream in the artificial intelligence value chain, focusing on converting human expert knowledge and experience into high-quality, trainable and verifiable data for AI models. In contrast to low-barrier general annotation services, it specializes in data services with high technological difficulty and strict professional requirements. It has grown into one of the few domestic providers capable of delivering comprehensive data services for large models, world models, and embodied intelligence, occupying a scarce position in the "Physical AI" wave.Its competitive advantage has been forged through long-term validation by the most demanding customers and the most challenging tasks. Benyuan Zhishu serves leading domestic large model infrastructure providers, top-tier internet platforms, frontline game publishers, and leading embodied intelligence companies, undertaking high-difficulty, quality-demanding data tasks—organizing professionals in fields such as mathematics, coding, law, and medicine to perform expert-level annotations, building evaluation datasets to measure the true capabilities of models, reconstructing virtual environment data for world models, and collecting real-world physical interaction data for embodied intelligence. These collaborations require stringent entry barriers, long-term adaptation, and continuous quality validation. Benyuan Zhishu has become the exclusive data supplier for several high-value data categories for related clients, demonstrating strong customer loyalty and sustainability. With nationwide delivery centers, a crowdsourced network of hundreds of thousands of domain experts, and proprietary data platforms, Benyuan Zhishu is capable of large-scale delivery under high information security standards.It is also a profitable AI company. For the fiscal years ending December 31, 2024 and 2025, Benyuan Zhishu achieved revenues of approximately RMB 146.5 million and RMB 156.2 million, respectively, with post-tax net profits of approximately RMB 7.1 million and RMB 11.1 million. According to its latest management accounts, its revenue for the first five months of 2026 has seen strong growth. In an AI environment heavily reliant on external financing, a data company built on real orders and revenue growth, and already profitable, is distinctive.III.Rationale Behind the Structure: Stable Investment, Dual Engines, and Preserved NeutralityThe transaction structure balances the interests of the buyer, seller, and customers.Stable investment: The transaction is financed using internal Group resources. The footwear business of C.banner continues to generate stable operating cash flows and maintain a net cash position, providing a financial foundation for the growing AI data business without relying on large-scale external financing.Growth-focused Capital Allocation: The share subscription consideration in this transaction will be used to expand Benyuan Zhishu’s production capacity and technology development; simultaneously, the founding team will retain partial equity to align their interests with the Group.Preserved Operational Neutrality: Upon transaction completion, Benyuan Zhishu will retain its independent brand and operate independently, implementing data isolation mechanisms. Since C.banner itself does not engage in AI model development nor compete with Benyuan Zhishu’s customers, industry competitors of Benyuan Zhishu’s clients can continue collaborating with the same neutral supplier with confidence. For a data company, a capital structure that does not compromise neutrality is especially crucial. Moreover, Benyuan Zhishu's data and data governance capabilities can also be applied to the Group's footwear retail supply chain, design, and marketing segments, enhancing the operational efficiency of the traditional core business through artificial intelligence.IV.Management StatementThe management of C.banner stated: “We believe that high-quality data is one of the most critical and scarce infrastructures in the era of artificial intelligence. This transaction allows the Group to enter this rapidly growing sector while maintaining a stable foundation in the consumer industry. We look forward to working with Benyuan Zhishu to continuously provide 'data fuel' of high quality to China's AI industry, creating sustainable long-term value for our shareholders under the dual-core business framework.”Benyuan Zhishu’s founder and CEO, Li Niyong, will also issue a public letter on the same day to share the company’s vision and the significance of this cooperation.
