HONG KONG, Feb 25, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Champion Real Estate Investment Trust (Stock Code: 2778), which owns Three Garden Road and Langham Place properties, announced its annual results for the year ended 31 December 2025.HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 2025 ANNUAL RESULTS- Improved macro environment with gradual recovery in property market confidence: Benefiting from the recovery in capital markets, tourism rebound and interest rate drop, market sentiment improved in 2025, laying the foundation for commercial property recovery.- Portfolio resilience maintained: Despite the challenging operating environment with abundant office supply and shifting consumer behaviour, the Trust maintained stable occupancy rates for both office and retail properties, with Langham Place Mall maintaining a high occupancy rate of 99.3%.- Capital market recovery drives an upturn in Central office leasing activity: Leasing momentum at Three Garden Road warmed up in the second half of 2025 with site inspections increasing by 61% year-on-year. Over 75% of leases expiring in 2026 have been renewed ahead of maturity.- Proactive tenant-mix management and IP-led strategy reinforce trendsetting positioning: In 2025, Langham Place Mall strengthened its trendsetting credentials by introducing a range of trendy and lifestyle brands. Newly introduced tenants achieved sales 80% higher than previous operators, while pop-up stores tied to major marketing campaigns delivered triple-digit sales growth.- Langham Place Office Tower continues to elevate its market competitiveness: The property deepened its premier wellness hub positioning through the "6D Wellness" channel, achieving 4.6 million cumulative social media views, and pioneered Hong Kong's inaugural "Quality Service Charter" with support from over 90% of wellness tenants, further strengthening its position as an industry-leading wellness centre.- Prudent financial management: All debt facilities maturing in 2025 were successfully refinanced, and HK$1.5 billion of banking facilities have been secured for early refinancing debt due in 2026. And lower average Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate (“HIBOR”) in 2025 resulted in meaningful interest savings.Ms. Christina Hau, Chief Executive Officer of Champion REIT, said, “2026 marks the 20th anniversary of Champion REIT, signifying an important milestone in the Trust's evolution from a single Central Grade A office asset to a diversified portfolio of landmark properties. In a challenging market environment, the Trust continues to demonstrate business resilience through prudent asset management and flexible strategic direction. Our consistent management focus is clear and targeted: while maintaining occupancy rates and enhancing income quality, we ensure financial stability. Over the past year, the Trust has made substantial progress in all these areas. Through proactive and orderly financial management, we ensure the Trust operates steadily through the current cycle."She added, "As new Central Grade A office supply is gradually absorbed by the market, supply-demand conditions are expected to stabilise from 2027 onwards. Champion REIT has established favourable conditions to capture future market recovery opportunities. Looking ahead, we will continue to play the role of ‘Super Connector’ and ‘Super Value-Adder’, fostering collaboration among tenants, partners and the community, combining innovative thinking with rigorous execution to create sustainable long-term value for stakeholders across different market environments.”Summary of financial results FY 2025FY 2024ChangeTotal Rental Income (HK$ million)1,9882,185- 9.0%Net Property Income (HK$ million)1,6131,820- 11.4%Distributable Income (HK$ million)859958- 10.4%Distribution per Unit (HK$)0.12630.1422- 11.2% 31 Dec 202531 Dec 2024ChangeGross Value of Portfolio (HK$ million)56,17960,104- 6.5%Net Asset Value per Unit (HK$)6.457.16- 9.9%Gearing Ratio25.4%23.7%+ 1.7 pp OPERATING REVIEWMarket OverviewDespite ongoing global macroeconomic volatility arising from trade uncertainties and geopolitical tensions, market sentiment in Hong Kong rebounded solidly in 2025. The recovery was supported by a strengthening stock market, steady growth in inbound tourism and an increasing number of mega-events. These improvements were further underpinned by a considerable decline in the Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate ("HIBOR"), which boosted homeowner disposable income and lowered corporate borrowing costs.However, the operating environment for the Trust remained challenging. Abundant office supply in the market continued to weigh on market rents, while the retail market is undergoing structural adjustment due to evolving consumer behaviour and a sustained increase in outbound travel by local residents. Against this backdrop, asset quality becomes even more critical, underscoring the importance of proactively optimising the tenant mix to navigate cyclical volatility.Three Garden RoadThe leasing momentum of Central Grade A office strengthened starting the third quarter of 2025 with increasing net absorption. Demand was supported by the upswing in initial public offerings ("IPOs") and solid equity market performance with higher daily turnover. Expansion and pre-leasing commitment of sizable areas by financial institutions signalled confidence in the market outlook. The active capital market activities also created spillover effect for other sectors with notable leasing transactions of relocation and expansion from the legal sector in particular.Leasing activity at Three Garden Road strengthened in 2025. Site inspections in second half of 2025 increased by 61% year-on-year, resulting in several new tenants from the asset management and family office sectors. Occupancy remained stable at 81.6% (31 December 2024: 82.6%), with space vacated by departing occupants largely backfilled by new leases and expansions from existing tenants. Our proactive retention strategy continued to deliver results, securing renewals for over 75% of 2026 expiring leases, thereby enhancing stability and forward visibility.Langham Place Office TowerLangham Place Office continued to deepen its differentiated positioning as a premier hub for wellness and lifestyle offerings. By expanding the “6D Wellness” ecosystem, the property enhanced tenant engagement and broadened its digital reach, with the wellness channel surpassing 4.6 million cumulative views across major social media platforms. With the launch of the Social Wellness Hall, and in collaboration with the Hong Kong Retail Management Association to introduce Hong Kong’s first “Quality Service Charter” for wellness practitioners, which received support from over 90% of wellness tenants, the property further strengthened its market profile as a premium hub for wellness services.Amid a challenging office market, Langham Place Office Tower adopted a prudent yet proactive leasing strategy, continuing to attract healthcare, medical and beauty operators while fostering industry clustering and complementarities. These efforts enhanced the diversity and resilience of the tenant mix, further reinforcing the property’s positioning as a leading destination for premium wellness and healthcare services. It remains a premier choice for location-sensitive businesses, maintaining a stable occupancy rate of 86.9% (31 December 2024: 87.2%).Langham Place MallHong Kong’s retail market began to recover and gain momentum following the Golden Week in May in 2025. Supported by the influx of visitors and a vibrant calendar of mega-events, total retail sales resumed growth after more than a year of contraction. For the full year, overall retail sales in Hong Kong increased by 1.0% year-on-year, driven primarily by a 12.8% rise in online sales. Against the backdrop of evolving consumer patterns, overall sales at Langham Place Mall saw a mild adjustment. Nevertheless, proactive tenant-mix optimisation delivered strong results, with the lifestyle category recording double-digit sales growth.Marking the 20th anniversary of its opening, Langham Place Mall strengthened both leasing and marketing efforts during the year. More than 30 new brands were introduced, including the first overseas branch of Chiikawa Ramen Buta, which generated significant attention and successfully boosted footfall. Upholding the spirit of “WOW! WE PLAY”, the mall continued to advance its “Stay Local, Trend Global” strategy, leveraging year-round promotional campaigns and anniversary celebrations to reinforce its leadership position as a trendsetting retail destination. Occupancy remained high at 99.3%.New tenants surpassed previous operators by an average of 80% in sales, while pop-up stores tied to major marketing campaigns achieved triple-digit sales growth, reflecting the strong synergy between brand partnerships and content-driven activations. In addition, the introduction of themed experiences and designer events on Levels 9 to 12 successfully revitalised historically lower-traffic floors, stimulating cross-floor spending, enhancing spatial efficiency, and generating incremental non-traditional revenue. These initiatives have enabled the mall to demonstrate sustained resilience and competitiveness amid a rapidly evolving retail landscape.SustainabilityThe Trust continued to embed sustainability deeply into its asset management strategy, with a strong focus on environmental stewardship, health and well-being, and community engagement. We achieved the highest five-star rating in the GRESB Real Estate Assessment for the third consecutive year and attained an “AA+” rating in the Hang Seng Corporate Sustainability Benchmark Index, reaffirming our leadership in sustainable practices.At Three Garden Road, the successful implementation of an AI-optimised chiller plant system delivered an annual energy savings of 6.1%. In parallel, we worked closely with tenants to advance the EcoChampion Pledge, fostering collective action in energy efficiency, waste reduction and green procurement.In addition, guided by our “6D Wellness” framework, we rolled out a range of community collaboration programmes to support the physical, mental and social well-being of tenants and visitors. These initiatives underpin our commitment to creating long-term value for all stakeholders.OutlookLooking ahead, while uncertainties in the global macroeconomic environment remain, market sentiment in Hong Kong is expected to improve gradually, supported by the resilience of capital markets and the recovery of inbound tourism, which will in turn provide support for office demand and local consumption. We remain cautiously optimistic about the operating environment in Hong Kong. While there are still market challenges, Champion REIT is well positioned to capture emerging opportunities. We will continue to adhere proactive asset management strategy to deliver long-term value for our stakeholders.

Mineit's Qualified Person, Tomasz Wawruch, FAusIMM, completed the MRE, and has reviewed and approved the technical disclosure related to the MRE contained in this news release. Mr. Wawruch is a senior geology and mineral resource consultant independent of Doubleview. Mr. Gilles Arseneau, PhD., P.Geo., of ARSENEAU Consulting Services Inc., provided an independent review of this MRE.Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues.Inferred Mineral Resources are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves. The Mineral Resource Estimate was prepared in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM") Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (2014), and CIM MRMR Best Practice Guidelines (2019).The effective date of the MRE is February 4, 2026.Metal contents have been calculated using the following metallurgical recovery factors: Cu = 85%, Au = 89%, Co = 78%, and Ag = 68%.Economic assumptions used include US$4.80/lb Cu, US$20.00/lb Co, US$3,200/oz Au, US$46/oz Ag, and a 2% NSR royalty.Mineral Resources are reported within optimized open pit constraints and 0.2% CuEq cut-off grade, based on a C$7.93/t milled processing cost and C$2.90/t milled general and administrative cost, with a mining cost of C$3.01/t plus incremental mining cost increasing by C$0.015/t for every bench below the reference level of 1,125 mRL.CuEq calculations do not include scandium. The formula used to calculate CuEq is: CuEq = [(((Ag × 46.0 × 0.68)/31.1035) + ((Au × 3200 × 0.89)/31.1035) + 0.0001 × (Co × 20.0 × 0.78 × 22.0462) + 0.0001 × (Cu × 4.8 × 22.0462 × 0.85))/(4.8 × 22.0462 × 0.85)], where all input variables are expressed in (ppm) and CuEq is expressed in percent (%).Rounding may result in minor variations between individual values and totals; such differences are not considered material to the MRE.Mineral Resource classification reflects the level of geological confidence and satisfies the uncertainty criteria appropriate for exploration and resource development. Additional drilling will be required to reduce uncertainty to the level expected for production planning. The MRE reflects the geological interpretation, drill-hole spacing, and estimation parameters available at the time of modelling. Any additional drilling is expected to influence the current outcome by improving confidence in the estimates and refining the geometry of the mineralized domains.The Mineral Resource results are presented in situ within the optimized pit. Mineralized material outside the pit has not been considered as a part of the current MRE tabulation. Calculations used metric units (metres, tonnes, g/t).A total of 97 diamond drill holes, comprising 49,548 m of core, were incorporated into the Mineral Resource Estimate. All drilling data used in the MRE were subject to standard QA/QC validation prior to inclusion.The block model is defined relative to a model origin at UTM Zone 9N 346,750 E / 6,453,000 N / 0 (NAD 83). Parent blocks measure 15 × 15 × 15 m, totalling 136 × 150 × 75 blocks across extents of 2,040 m (X), 2,250 m (Y), and 1,125 m (Z). All volumes and estimates are constrained by these discretization parameters.

HONG KONG, Feb 24, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – CanSino Biologics Inc. (688185.SH/06185.HK) announced that the Company has obtained the Notification of Approval of Supplemental Drug Application issued by the National Medical Products Administration of China (the “NMPA”), pursuant to which, the supplemental application to expand the age range of applicable population of the Company’s Group ACYW135 Meningococcal Polysaccharide Conjugate Vaccine (CRM197) (the “MCV4”, trade name: Menhycia (R)) from “children aged from 3 months to 3 years old (47 months)” to “children aged from 3 months to 6 years old (83 months)” has been approved by NMPA.This approval marks an important step forward, underscoring the public health impact of Menhycia (R) while also strengthening its long-term commercial prospects. Under China’s current national immunization schedule, the final pre-school dose of meningococcal vaccination is administered at six years of age. For a long time, multivalent conjugate vaccine options for children over age three have been relatively limited in the domestic market. The newly approved expansion of the eligible age range helps address this gap, providing broader and more appropriate vaccination options for this population.At the same time, the broader eligible population is expected to further unlock Menhycia (R)’s commercialization prospects, and lay a more solid foundation for the product’s promotion and strategic rollout in international markets.Notably, CanSinoBIO issued its Results Forecast For The Year 2025 recently. Forecasting total revenue of RMB 1.04–1.08 billion, a year-on-year increase of 22.88% to 27.61% and net profit attributable to the shareholders of RMB 24.5–29.0 million—marking a return to profitability. The company noted that Menhycia (R), China’s first domestically developed quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine, continues to drive sustained revenue growth under its innovation-led commercialization strategy.

HONG KONG, Feb 25, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Shoucheng Holdings Ltd. (00697.HK) drew market attention on Tuesday after its share price experienced volatility alongside certain shareholding adjustments, prompting discussion among investors. A review of the company’s recent disclosures, publicly available trading data and evolving market structure suggests the movement largely reflects short-term capital repositioning rather than any change in fundamentals.Market participants indicated that during the recent market pullback, several international long-only investors executed strategic allocations through block trades and negotiated transactions, facilitating an orderly transition in the company’s shareholder base. Observers said the shift — characterized by a rotation from short-term trading positions to longer-duration institutional capital — could help smooth liquidity fluctuations while enhancing the stability and quality of the shareholder structure.From a capital-markets perspective, the entry of long-term funds typically signals recognition of a company’s medium- to long-term growth trajectory and value realization capacity. Such positioning is widely viewed as laying a firmer foundation for future valuation normalization.Historically, shareholder base optimization and rebalancing often coincide with the stage at which a company’s strategic transformation begins to translate into tangible results. The latest restructuring underscores a more proactive stance by international capital in participating in Shoucheng’s growth story, endorsing its strategic shift from a traditional asset-management platform to a builder of hard-technology industrial ecosystems. The resonance between capital flows and industrial logic is expected to reinforce market confidence in the company’s long-term value proposition.Foreign institutional buying during periods of market weakness reflects confidence in what analysts describe as a structural transformation of Shoucheng’s fundamentals. The company has transitioned from a conventional asset-management model into what it terms an “industrial ecosystem builder.” Through a differentiated “capital + scenario + operations” framework, Shoucheng has established a closed-loop ecosystem, particularly in the robotics sector, where its forward-looking investments have positioned it as a bellwether for hard-technology exposure in Hong Kong equities.The year 2026 is widely regarded by the market as a pivotal window for the accelerated commercialization of embodied artificial intelligence and humanoid robotics. Shoucheng’s systematic early-stage positioning across the robotics value chain is now entering a concentrated realization phase, with portfolio returns demonstrating notable strength.Core projects have generated substantial premiums. Early and concentrated investments in leading companies such as Zibianliang Technology and Unitree Robotics have delivered significant mark-to-market gains. As high-profile holdings including Unitree advance toward initial public offerings, Shoucheng’s equity stakes are poised to transition from unrealized book gains to realized returns and dividend contributions, providing tangible earnings accretion at the listed-company level.Further attention has focused on the high-profile appearance of robotics firms including Unitree Robotics, Galaxy General Robotics and Songyan Dynamics at the 2026 Lunar New Year Gala broadcast by China Central Television, the Year of the Horse edition. Their demonstrations showcased breakthroughs in embodied intelligence, complex motion control and human-machine interaction. The visibility not only strengthened public awareness but also signaled that large-scale commercial deployment may be imminent. As an important early-stage investor in these enterprises, Shoucheng stands to benefit indirectly from both heightened sector visibility and an accelerated commercialization cycle, potentially catalyzing valuation re-rating.Analysts said Tuesday’s trading activity is likely to result in a more diversified shareholder mix. The participation of long-duration international capital may enhance the stock’s global liquidity profile and governance transparency expectations, while also broadening the company’s access to cross-border industrial and strategic resources to support future expansion.Market experience suggests that when a company’s fundamentals enter an upward cycle and structural uncertainties gradually dissipate, shareholder optimization can serve as a catalyst for valuation recovery. According to analysts, the latest rotation in holdings represents a strategic rebalancing of the capital structure, easing short-term supply pressure as the company approaches a value-realization phase.Taken together, Shoucheng appears to be navigating a convergence of three inflection points. First is an industrial inflection, as embodied AI and robotics commercialization accelerate. Second is a capital inflection, with investment projects entering a concentrated realization period. Third is a structural inflection, marked by the entry of long-term international capital and the optimization of the shareholder base.Amid the alignment of global capital endorsement and industrial value dividends, the company’s valuation framework is shifting from that of a traditional asset manager toward that of a hard-technology industrial platform. As industrial deployment advances and investment returns crystallize, market recognition of Shoucheng’s role as an infrastructure builder for the intelligent era may deepen, suggesting that the process of long-term value redefinition has entered a substantive phase.

SHENZHEN, Feb 24, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China Medical System Holdings Limited (“CMS” or the “Group”) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Dermavon Holdings Limited (“Dermavon”, an innovative pharmaceutical company specialized in skin health which is applying for a separate listing on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, please refer to the announcement published by the Group on 22 April 2025 for details) received the acceptance from the National Medical Products Administration of China (NMPA) for the New Drug Application (NDA) of ruxolitinib phosphate cream (the “Product”) for the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis on 24 February 2026. The Product is indicated for the topical short-term and non-continuous chronic treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in non-immunocompromised adult and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older whose disease is not adequately controlled with topical prescription therapies or when those therapies are not advisable. The NDA has been approved for inclusion in the Priority Review List by the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of the NMPA based on its qualification as a “new variety, dosage form and specification of pediatric drug that conforms to the physiological characteristics of children”, which is expected to accelerate the Product's review process for marketing approval in the AD indication.Impressive phase III trial data in ADIts Priority Review is expected to accelerate its NDA approvalRuxolitinib phosphate cream was approved for marketing by the NMPA in January 2026, becoming the first and only targeted drug approved in China for the treatment of vitiligo. The acceptance of this NDA for the additional indication of AD marks a key milestone in the Product's expansion into multiple therapeutic areas.Ruxolitinib phosphate cream has achieved positive results in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III clinical trial in China for mild to moderate AD.Robust Efficacy: The Product successfully met its primary endpoint, demonstrating that a significantly higher proportion of subjects treated with ruxolitinib phosphate cream achieved IGA (Investigator’s Global Assessment) of 0 or 1 with at least two grades of reduction from baseline at week 8, compared with placebo (63.0% vs 9.2%, P < 0.001). For the key secondary endpoint, the proportion of subjects achieving at least a 75% improvement from baseline in the Eczema Area and Severity Index score (EASI 75) of treatment with ruxolitinib phosphate cream was also significantly higher than that of the placebo group, at week 8 (78.0% vs 15.4%, P < 0.001).Favorable Safety Profile: The severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) during the treatment period was mostly mild or moderate, with no TEAEs leading to discontinuation of the study drug. Overall, ruxolitinib phosphate cream was safe and well-tolerated.Furthermore, the NDA has been approved for inclusion in the Priority Review List. According to relevant NMPA regulations, the review timeline for marketing applications subject to Priority Review and Approval Procedure is substantially shortened—from the standard 200 days to 130 days. This significant reduction in the review timeline is expected to accelerate the marketing process of ruxolitinib phosphate cream for the AD indication, benefiting a wide range of patients at an earlier date.Building an integrated AD solution,strengthening Dermavon’s leadership in dermatologyAD is a chronic, recurrent and inflammatory dermatologic disease, with the main clinical manifestations of dry skin, chronic eczema-like lesions and obvious itching or pruritus, which may seriously affect the quality of life of patients. It is estimated that there were over 54 million AD patients in China as of 2024. Based on SCORAD scores, mild to moderate AD accounts for 98% of these cases, representing over 52.5 million patients[1]. Topical drugs are the most basic treatment for AD. Traditional topical medications such as topical corticosteroids (TCS) and topical calcineurin inhibitors (TCIs) have clinical pain points with long-term adverse reactions or limited efficacy, therefore novel treatments are urgently needed.Dermavon has developed a comprehensive “treatment + care” integrated solution for AD. In addition to the topical formulation ruxolitinib phosphate cream for mild-to-moderate AD, the portfolio also includes the injectable biological agent Comekibart Injection (MG-K10) for moderate-to-severe AD, the oral small molecule targeted drug CMS-D001 for moderate-to-severe AD, and the Heling Soothing Product Series for daily repair, to meet the management needs of AD patients from treatment to daily care.Simultaneously, the acceptance of the NDA for the AD indication will strengthen Dermavon’s strategic layout in the field of skin treatments and create synergies with its commercialized innovative drug ILUMETRI (tildrakizumab injection), commercialized exclusive drug Hirudoid (mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream), and a series of innovative drugs under development and dermatological skin care products, in terms of expert network and market resources, thereby potentially enhancing Dermavon's market competitiveness and brand influence in the field of skin health.More Information About Ruxolitinib Phosphate CreamRuxolitinib phosphate cream (Opzelura®), a novel cream formulation of the selective JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor ruxolitinib developed by Incyte.

SAN DIEGO, Feb 23, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) is giving its U.S. Air Force Collaborative Combat Aircraft a new name: YFQ-42A Dark Merlin.Dark merlins, deadly falcons known for their black feathers and devouring of other falcons as prey, often collaborate in groups for maximum effect against their targets. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology describes the merlin as a "small, fierce falcon that uses surprise attacks" to bring down its prey in flight. The dark merlin is native to the Pacific Northwest of the United States, often migrating into southern California, where bird spotters routinely report seeing them near the YFQ-42A's manufacturing home in San Diego.The 1962 book "Profiles of the Future" imagined global technological marvels yet to change the world, offering that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." It's no coincidence that the Dark Merlin name also reflects the wizardry of Merlin from Arthurian legend, paying homage to the somewhat supernatural new era of semi-autonomous air combat."Dark merlins are hunting machines, built for speed and aerodynamics," said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. "They harass other falcons for fun, and they eat what they kill. The name sums up our new uncrewed fighter perfectly."The U.S. Air Force official prefix "Y" denotes that the initial few aircraft are early, production-representative test models, while "F" denotes fighter and "Q" denotes uncrewed aircraft. When aircraft enter production, they drop the "Y" - for example, the YF-16 became the F-16 with the nickname "Fighting Falcon" - and GA-ASI expects its new CCA to become the FQ-42A with the nickname "Dark Merlin."The Dark Merlin has been stacking up milestones and achievements since GA-ASI was selected by the U.S. Air Force in April 2024 to build production-representative flight test articles for the CCA program. In August 2025, YFQ-42A delivered the U.S. Air Force its first successful CCA flight and followed that this month with the service's first CCA flight using mission autonomy software. Between those milestones, GA-ASI has built and flown multiple Dark Merlins, conducting push-button autonomous takeoffs and landings and other accomplishments as the test program continues.YFQ-42A Dark Merlin is a purpose-built CCA platform developed as part of GA-ASI's ongoing investment in next-generation autonomous combat aircraft. The aircraft's modular design enables rapid integration of mission systems. GA-ASI's autonomy architecture, demonstrated through multiple live flight tests, provides the foundation for human-machine teaming in complex combat scenarios.GA-ASI has been building and flying uncrewed jets for nearly two decades, beginning with the company-funded, weaponized MQ-20 Avenger® in 2008. Ongoing company investment in Avenger continues to yield results, as the aircraft routinely serves as a CCA surrogate for advanced autonomy development and testing in both government programs and company-funded research and development. The company's XQ-67A Off-Board Sensing Station jet, developed in collaboration with the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory, offers a cutting-edge model for autonomous collaborative platforms with advanced airborne sensing and served as a flying prototype for YFQ-42A Dark Merlin.About GA-ASIGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world's foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Logging more than 9 million flight hours, the Predator® line of UAS has flown for over 30 years and includes MQ-9A Reaper®, MQ-1C Gray Eagle®, MQ-20 Avenger®, and MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian®.

HONG KONG, Feb 23, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – During the Year of the Horse Spring Festival, momentum in the "Hard Tech" sector continued to surge, with the humanoid robotics industry becoming a market focal point following its stellar performance on the Spring Festival Gala stage. Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) has emerged as a core target for post-holiday capital market positioning due to a series of heavy-hitting moves. These include the operational launch of the Taozhu New Creation Hub - a comprehensive robotics technology experience, sales, maintenance, and service center—followed by the dual boost of Spring Festival Gala exposure and New Year's Eve livestreaming conversions. Coupled with the positive signal of continuous recent share buybacks, the company’s solid industrial layout and clear earnings growth are expected to trigger a formal valuation recovery.By establishing a closed-loop of "Offline Landing + Strategic Investment + Traffic Conversion + Buyback Support," Shoucheng Holdings has not only demonstrated its deep layout in the robotics track but has also provided the capital market with a high-certainty investment logic through concrete industrial actions and capital behavior. The window for valuation recovery has officially opened.I. Grand Opening of the Offline Complex: Solidifying the Foundation for MonetizationAs the traffic dividends from the Spring Festival Gala and livestreaming were released, Shoucheng Holdings officially launched Taozhu New Creation Hub, its flagship robotics technology retail brand. This complex captures the core of the offline smart consumption track and injects deterministic growth into Shoucheng’s performance. It serves as a solid physical carrier to convert gala traffic and livestreaming orders, marking a new stage in Shoucheng’s full-chain service layout for offline robotics commercial scenarios.Integrated Ecosystem: The Hub constructs an "Experience + Sales + After-sales + Investment" full-model ecosystem."Store-Factory" Innovation: Utilizing an innovative "front-store, back-factory" layout, it includes a robotics maintenance and repair workshop created in collaboration with Accelerated Evolution to provide one-stop services.Market Validation: With an exhibition area exceeding 400 square meters, the Hub serves as a core scenario for investee companies to implement technology and validate market demand.Strategic Store Matrix:Wangfujing APM Store: Located in a premier trendy commercial district, focusing on "Trend Tech + First-Store Economy," targeting consumers aged 18–35.Capital Airport T2 Store: Situated in a core transportation hub with 35 million annual passengers, targeting the "40-minute pre-boarding decision" window with portable and practical smart products.This layout is a key execution of Shoucheng’s "Capital + Scenario + Ecosystem" strategy. By capturing consumer demand through digital means, it provides investee companies with valuable data for product iteration, forming a virtuous cycle of "Industry + Consumption + Maintenance".II. Dominance of the Gala Trio: National-Level Endorsement of Ecosystem StrengthThe Year of the Horse Spring Festival Gala featured a humanoid robot cluster performance as its most high-tech highlight. Among the four core robotics companies featured, three - Unitree Robotics, NOETIX Robotics, and Galbot - are Shoucheng Holdings' portfolio companies. This dominant presence provides national-level brand endorsement for the offline scenarios.The three portfolio companies demonstrated world-class capabilities across core tracks:Unitree Robotics: Deployed a 16-robot formation in the program "Wu BOT," performing high-difficulty martial arts. It achieved world-firsts in continuous parkour flips and rapid maneuvers (up to 4m/s) using self-developed dexterous hands.NOETIX Robotics: Earned the title of "Exclusive Bionic Humanoid Robot Partner" for the gala. Its "Xiaowantong N2" and "Xiaobumi" consumer products displayed lifelike facial expressions and synchronized breathing movements, signaling the acceleration of robots entering the home.Galbot: Debuted as the "Designated Embodied AI Model Robot". Its robot, "Xiao Gai," autonomously performed real-time tasks—such as picking up glass shards and folding clothes—driven by its "AstraBrain" Embodied AI model.This collective appearance is a result of Shoucheng's long-term deep layout, building a complete investment matrix across core components, whole units, and "intelligent brains".III. New Year's Eve Live-streaming: Immediate Traffic MonetizationOn the night of the Gala, Shoucheng Holdings launched the "PoBiren (Barrier-Breaker) Initiative" Live-streaming event, becoming the only industrial investor in the sector to achieve immediate traffic conversion. This successfully closed the loop of "Offline Landing - Stage Exposure - Online Traffic - Order Conversion".Solving Pain Points: The livestream addressed the "unreachable" nature of online consumption through product demonstrations and professional technical interpretations.Seamless Integration: It linked online orders to the Taozhu New Creation Hub for offline delivery and maintenance.Professional Branding: By sharing industry trends from an investor's perspective, Shoucheng deepened consumer trust and solidified its leadership in hard tech investment.ConclusionShoucheng Holdings has achieved a triple breakthrough in national exposure, immediate traffic conversion, and offline operations. Under the resonance of these multiple benefits and continued buybacks, the logic for both valuation and performance enhancement is further strengthened, allowing Shoucheng to lead the hard tech investment track and provide long-term stable returns to investors.
