HONG KONG, Nov 17, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Coinciding with Hong Kong FinTech Week and StartmeupHK Festival, held from November 3 to 7 featuring a series of annual events, the Payment Card Group Limited (“PCG”), a cloud-native payment processor and acquirer, demonstrated its comprehensive business strategy. On November 7, PCG presented its stablecoin settlement pilot program at the Cyberport Venture Capital Forum 2025 (CVCF), demonstrating a technological breakthrough in achieving 5-second cross-border settlement. Additionally, PCG co-organized a forum with the Hong Kong Digital Finance Association (HKDiFi) and shared industry insights on the evolving role of responsible officers. In terms of business development, PCG’s members, Yedpay and BBMSL, have partnered with Visa to launch the “China-Issued Visa Credit Card Instant Discount Program,” helping local merchants expand their mainland customer base. Meanwhile, PCG has continued to promote its “AbbyPay” POS-free digital payment solution at an exchange event with Chiyu Bank and various industry events, driving deeper integration between traditional finance and innovative technology, and demonstrating its forward-looking strategy and industry influence within the digital finance ecosystem.Showcasing stablecoin settlement pilot program at Cyberport Venture Capital Forum 2025On November 7, PCG showcased its latest projects and technological achievements at the Cyberport Venture Capital Forum 2025 (CVCF), including the stablecoin settlement pilot program and the “AbbyPay” POS-free digital payment solution. As the only payment technology company selected in the “Payment & Stablecoin” category under Cyberport’s “Blockchain & Digital Asset Pilot Subsidy Scheme,” PCG launched a stablecoin settlement pilot program with the vision of bridging traditional card payments with Web3 infrastructure. The pilot simulated an Australia-to-Hong Kong transaction using stablecoins within a controlled test environment. Compared to traditional settlement that takes 2 to 3 days and involves high FX and SWIFT costs, stablecoin settlement can be completed under 5 seconds, at 90% lower cost, with on-chain transparency. This solution enables real-time reconciliation, programmable payouts, and cross-border scalability, fully demonstrating the potential of stablecoins to enhance the payment infrastructure.Mr. Michael Hui, Regional Product Director of PCG, stated during the Cyberport’s Blockchain & Digital Asset Pilot Subsidy Scheme use case-sharing session, “With Hong Kong’s Stablecoins Ordinance now in effect, we welcome and support this forward-looking regulatory framework. Thanks to Cyberport, JETCO, our advisors, and industry partners, our pilot program has demonstrated how traditional card payments and Web3 infrastructure can truly come together, achieving stable, efficient, and compliant settlement through blockchain. Looking ahead, we will extend the pilot with merchants across various industries and continue to collaborate with banks, acquirers, and fintech companies to advance industry dialogue and scale adoption, enabling merchants to enjoy faster, more cost-effective, and transparent cross-border payment collections. We believe that with regulated stablecoins, strong compliance, and industry collaboration, Hong Kong is poised to lead the next chapter of digital settlement innovation.”Mr. Michael Hui, Regional Product Director of PCG introduces PCG’s stablecoin settlement pilot program during the Cyberport’s Blockchain & Digital Asset Pilot Subsidy Scheme use case-sharing session.Additionally, Mr. Emil Chan, Advisor of PCG, stated at the panel discussion themed “Stablecoin from a User Perspective: Unlocking New Business Opportunities”, “Stablecoins can bring revolutionary changes to cross-border payments, significantly reducing transaction fees and settlement period. They also enhance financial inclusion, enabling anyone with a smartphone to safely and efficiently access the global market. For merchants, the advantages of stablecoin adoption such as lower fees, instant settlement, and no chargebacks for fraud prevention, can help improve cash flow and attract new customers.”During the panel discussion themed “Stablecoin from a User Perspective: Unlocking New Business Opportunities,” Mr. Emil Chan, Advisor of PCG shares how stablecoins can empower merchants and drive industry transformation.Co-hosting “The New Frontier: ROs as Catalysts for Digital Finance Ecosystems” Forum with Hong Kong Digital Finance AssociationOn the same day, PCG and the Hong Kong Digital Finance Association (HKDiFi) co-hosted an official side event of Hong Kong FinTech Week 2025, “The New Frontier: ROs as Catalysts for Digital Finance Ecosystems” Forum, exploring the new role of responsible officers (ROs) in driving business growth in an increasingly regulated environment. Prof. Emil Chan, Advisor of PCG, and Chairman of the Association of Cloud and Mobile Computing Professionals, remarked, "During PCG's stablecoin settlement research and development process, we witnessed a transformation in the role of ROs. They have evolved from mere compliance gatekeepers into key forces driving innovation. They proactively seek new avenues for innovation, establish frameworks for risk management, build trust with relevant institutions, and set the stage for project success. This shift demonstrates that ROs play a pivotal role in driving success for traditional finance in the digital era."At the Forum, Prof. Emil Chan, Advisor of PCG, and Chairman of the Association of Cloud and Mobile Computing Professionals, Dr. Kenny Siu, Training Director of ESG Academy, Dr. Raymond Chan, Vice Chairman of HKDiFi, and Dr. Hermann Lui, Program Director of Investopedia Institute of Hong Kong, analyze how ROs can redefine their roles to drive business growth.Dialogue with Chiyu Bank senior executives on Hong Kong's digital finance outlookOn October 23, PCG was honored to be invited by the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) to jointly host senior executives from Chiyu Bank as part of their executive development program centered on “Leadership in Transformation.” Mr. Emil Chan, Advisor of PCG, shared valuable insights on “Opportunities and Challenges in Hong Kong’s Digital Financial Market.” Additionally, PCG team introduced the latest “AbbyPay” POS-free digital payment solution, demonstrating its innovative breakthrough in payment technology. During the event, both parties not only explored the evolving payments landscape in Hong Kong, but also fostered in-depth exchanges between traditional banking expertise and fintech innovation through cross-industry dialogues, driving continuous industry innovation.PCG team engages in a dialogue with Chiyu Bank senior executives to explore the future of digital finance in Hong Kong.Partnering with Visa to help local merchants expand mainland customer baseRecently, PCG members, Yedpay and BBMSL, have partnered with Visa to launch the "China-Issued Visa Credit Card Instant Discount Program." From now until December 31, 2025, China Construction Bank Visa cardholders can enjoy an 8% instant discount on purchases of HK$500 or more at designated stores.

HONG KONG, Nov 17, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – In the context of rapid evolution in the robotics industry, Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) is gradually transforming from a traditional infrastructure operator into a new platform company with technological attributes. Its newly released 2025 third-quarter financial report not only demonstrates the company’s solid operating fundamentals, but also clearly conveys its strategic path in the robotics industry chain—from “investment layout” toward “application implementation,” gradually building sustainable long-term growth capability.I. Maintaining High-Speed Growth, with Operating Resilience Further EnhancedThe third-quarter report shows that Shoucheng Holdings’ revenue increased 30% year-on-year to HKD 1.215 billion, while net profit attributable to shareholders rose 22% year-on-year to HKD 488 million. The asset operation business continued to expand, and the asset circulation business maintained high-yield contributions, together forming a stable and predictable operating base for the company.Cash and financial assets reached HKD 8.55 billion, while the asset-liability ratio stood at only 31.5%. The company’s financial structure remains sound, providing sufficient “margin of safety” for new investments and business incubation in robotics. On this steady operating foundation, the company announced a HKD 1 billion share repurchase plan over the next three years, with management demonstrating confidence in corporate value through long-term capital commitment.II. Robotics Enter a Dual-Track Stage of “Investment Deepening + Application Validation”Unlike many market participants who remain at the stage of technology demonstrations or laboratory prototypes, Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics layout already shows a “two-line advancement” pattern:One line upward, deepening investment along the industry chain; One line downward, deploying real application scenarios.(1) Investment deepening: Key industry chain enterprises enter their capital-market sprintThrough its industrial funds, Shoucheng Holdings is investing in humanoid robots, embodied intelligence, flying robots, intelligent perception and other directions, focusing resources on globally competitive enterprises. Recent developments include:Unitree Robotics completing IPO counseling, expected to become the first humanoid robot stock in the A-share market;Yunshengchu completing its shareholding restructuring and officially entering the IPO preparation stage;Multiple enterprises expected to be eligible for listing in 2026.The capital-market progress of these enterprises will bring structural returns to Shoucheng Holdings’ equity investment business and open new space for future profit growth.(2) Application validation: Building a “scenario network” for large-scale robot deploymentTo open the path from “technology” to “commercialization,” Shoucheng Holdings has not stopped at the investment level but has simultaneously built consumer-side and urban-side scenario networks. Examples include:The “Taozhu New Craft Bureau” robot technology experience stores launched in Beijing, Chengdu, and airport landmarks, enabling robots to be “visible, usable, and purchasable”;The “Shoucheng W” robot livestreaming studio, which enhances online reach through real-time demonstrations and consumer conversion models;Pilot deployments of automatic charging robots, surgical robots, and educational robots in education, healthcare, and cultural-tourism scenes.This dual-track structure—investment-driven and scenario-driven—allows Shoucheng to form early-stage resource barriers in “data, users, and demand,” becoming a key foundation for long-term expansion in the robotics sector.III. From High-Speed Growth Toward Long-Term Expansion: 2026 as the Key Inflection PointShoucheng Holdings is entering a critical stage of transitioning from “performance growth” to a “growth logic” model.On the financial side, stable asset operations provide a sufficient safety cushion;On the industrial side, investments, scenario deployments, and capital-market progress in robotics are forming a reinforcing cycle.As Unitree Robotics, Yunshengchu and other core enterprises enter the listing channel—combined with the nationwide rollout of experience stores, commercialization of autonomous charging robots, and expanding humanoid robot applications—the company’s robotics business is expected to enter a “quantifiable contribution phase” in 2026.In other words, over the past two years, Shoucheng Holdings has focused on building “infrastructure,” while in the coming years, it will begin to demonstrate “long-term growth attributes.”Based on a foundation of solid financials and forward-looking industrial layout, Shoucheng Holdings is gradually forming a dual-engine model of “robotics investment + application.” As the industry approaches the window of scenario scale-up, the company is already positioned strategically. High-speed growth is the present; long-term growth is the direction. For Shoucheng Holdings, 2026 may only mark the beginning of a new stage. Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

香港, 2025年11月17日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 在機器人產業快速演進的當下，首程控股（0697.HK）正由傳統基礎設施運營商，逐步轉型為具備科技屬性的全新平台公司。其最新發布的 2025 年第三季度財報，不僅展現公司穩健的經營基本面，也清晰傳遞其在機器人產業鏈上的戰略路徑——從「投資布局」走向「應用落地」，並逐步構建可持續的長期成長能力。一、業績保持高速增長，經營韌性進一步增強三季報顯示，首程控股收入同比增長 30% 至 12.15 億港元，歸母淨利潤同比提升 22% 至 4.88 億港元。資產運營業務持續擴張，資產融通業務保持高收益貢獻，兩者共同構成公司穩定且可預期的經營底盤。現金與理財資產規模達 85 億港元，資產負債率僅 31.5%，財務結構穩健，為公司佈局機器人領域的新投資與新業務孵化提供了充裕的「安全邊際」。在穩健經營的基礎上，公司宣布未來三年實施 10 億港元股份回購，管理層以長期資金承諾進一步驗證對公司價值的信心。二、機器人進入「投資深化＋應用驗證」雙軌階段不同於仍停留在技術展示或實驗室階段的市場參與者，首程控股的機器人布局已呈現「雙線推進」的特點：一端向上，深耕產業鏈投資；一端向下，完善應用場景布局。（1）投資深化：產業鏈核心企業陸續邁入資本化衝刺期首程控股透過旗下產業基金，布局人形機器人、具身智能、飛行機器人、智能感知等方向，並將資源集中於具備全球競爭力的企業。近期重要進展包括：宇樹科技完成 IPO 上市輔導，有望成為 A 股人形機器人第一股；雲深處完成股改，正式進入上市籌備階段；多家企業預計於 2026 年具備登陸資本市場的條件。上述企業的資本化進程，將為首程控股的股權投資業務帶來結構性收益，並為未來利潤增長開啟新的空間。（2）應用驗證：構建機器人大規模落地的「場景網絡」為打通機器人從「技術」走向「商業」的通路，首程控股不僅在投資端深度佈局，更同步在消費端與城市端搭建應用場景網絡。例如：「陶朱新造局」機器人科技體驗店已於北京、成都及機場等多個地標落地，實現機器人「看得見、用得上、買得到」；「首程W」機器人直播間以即時展示與消費轉化模型補足線上觸達能力；在教育、醫療、文旅等場景中推動自動充電機器人、手術機器人、教學機器人的落地試點。投資驅動與場景驅動的雙軌模式，使首程能在機器人產業早期階段形成「數據、用戶、需求」三類資源壁壘，奠定長線增長的重要基礎。三、從高速增長邁向長期成長：2026 年將成為關鍵分界線首程控股正處於從「業績增長」轉向「成長邏輯」的關鍵節點。財務端，穩健的資產運營提供足夠安全墊；產業端，機器人業務的投資、應用場景與資本化進展正形成互相強化的正循環。隨著宇樹科技、雲深處等核心企業進入上市通道，加上體驗店全國化布局、自動充電機器人商用化、人形機器人應用持續擴大，公司的機器人業務預計將於 2026 年進入「可量化貢獻期」。換句話說，過去兩年首程控股着力構建的是「基礎設施」；未來幾年，則將開始展現「長期成長性」。首程控股以穩健財務與前瞻產業布局為根基，逐步形成「機器人投資＋應用」的雙輪驅動商業模型。在行業即將迎來場景放量的窗口期，公司已處於結構性優勢位置。高速增長是現在，長期成長是方向，2026 年對首程控股而言，或許只是全新階段的起點。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Nov 17, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – As the public subscription for Chuangxin Industries Holdings Limited (“Chuangxin Industries”; Stock Code: 02788.HK) entered its second day, the market response has been overwhelmingly positive. The company officially launched its initial public offering on November 14, 2025, with 17 cornerstone investors’ participation—a move that further bolsters investor confidence. As a leading player in China’s upstream aluminum sector, the company is offering 500 million shares subject to the Over-allotment Option, within a price range of HK$10.18 – HK$10.99 per share, aiming to raise up to HK$5,495 million. The public subscription period will run until November 19, 2025, with an entry fee of approximately HK$5,550 for a board lot of 500 shares, ahead of its expected listing on the HKEX Main Board on November 24, 2025.Chuangxin Industries specializes in alumina refining and aluminum smelting—two of the most value-added segments of the aluminum industry chain. With a proven track record of cost leadership, proactive green transition initiatives, and a highly integrated operational ecosystem, the company is strategically positioned to capitalize on growing global demand for aluminum—particularly low-carbon aluminum, which is increasingly favored in sectors such as electric vehicles, renewable energy infrastructure, and consumer electronics.One of the standout features of Chuangxin Industries is its strategic presence in resource-rich regions such as Inner Mongolia and Shandong Province. The company’s aluminum smelter in Huolinguole ranked as the fourth-largest production base of electrolytic aluminum in 2024 in North China. This location offers the company a decisive advantage in power costs, supported by self-generation capabilities and abundant local energy resources. In 2024, the company’s coal-fired power cost stood at just RMB0.37 per kWh, notably below the national average of RMB0.43 per kWh. By May 2025, this figure had further dropped to RMB0.33 per kWh—a clear indicator of continuous operational optimization.This low-cost energy structure has enabled Chuangxin Industries to achieve a cash cost of aluminum of approximately RMB15,112 per ton in 2024, significantly lower than the industry average of approximately RMB17,700 per ton in China. According to CRU, the company ranked among the top 5% of all aluminum smelting companies in China in terms of cost efficiency, reinforcing its competitive edge both domestically and globally.Aligned with China’s national goals to peak carbon emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, Chuangxin Industries is moving decisively toward green power adoption. The company is currently constructing wind and solar power plants with a total projected installed capacity of 1,750.0 MW. By the end of 2026, it aims to source over 50% of its energy from renewables—doubling the national mandate of 25%. This transition not only supports environmental targets but also drives down long-term operational expenses. Based on the estimates, the delivered cost of green power is expected to be as low as RMB0.10–0.18 per kWh, substantially below current coal-powered rates, thereby enhancing profitability and insulating the company from potential carbon price increases.Another pillar of Chuangxin Industries’ competitive strength lies in its self-sufficient operational model. Electricity represents a major portion of production costs in aluminum smelting, and the company’s electricity self-sufficiency rate reached approximately 88% in 2024, far exceeding the industry average of around 57%. This high level of energy autonomy not only stabilizes production but also shields the company from grid price volatility. In addition, the company maintains a high rate of alumina self-sufficiency, with an annual designed production capacity of 788.1kt for electrolytic aluminum and 1,200.0 kt for alumina—ensuring a reliable and cost-effective supply of key raw materials.Geographic advantages further amplify Chuangxin Industries’ market positioning. Its Inner Mongolia smelter is located within a 25 km radius of downstream customers boasting a combined production capacity of over 1.9 million tons—far exceeding its own annual output of 788.1 kt. This proximity not only reduces transportation costs but also enables the sale of liquid aluminum, which must be delivered within a narrow 50 km radius. Supported by its high rates of self-sufficiency in both electricity and alumina supply, Chuangxin Industries has established a synergistic, integrated ecosystem that ensures unique competitiveness across the electrolytic aluminum industry chain and shields the company from market volatility. Financially, Chuangxin Industries has demonstrated impressive growth and operational efficiency. Revenue increased from RMB13.8 billion in 2023 to RMB15.2 billion in 2024, and surged by 22.6% year-on-year to RMB7.2 billion in the first five months of 2025. Gross profit margin improved markedly from 16.9% in 2023 to 28.2% in 2024, reflecting both improved cost control and favorable industry dynamics. These results underscore the company’s ability to capitalize on market upcycles while maintaining structural cost advantages.Looking ahead, Chuangxin Industries is not resting on its achievements. The company has unveiled plans to establish a 500 kt aluminum smelting facility in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia—a strategic move that will leverage the country’s low-cost natural gas resources and prime location near the Red Sea. This expansion will facilitate efficient export of aluminum products to markets in Europe and the United States via the Suez Canal.The IPO of Chuangxin Industries arrives at a pivotal moment, with global aluminum demand being steadily driven by transitions in transportation, energy, and digital infrastructure. With its industry-leading cost structure, clear green transformation roadmap, and fully integrated value chain, Chuangxin Industries is not merely a commodity producer—it is a forward-looking industrial operator committed to sustainable and high-quality growth.
