Shoucheng Buys Back 20M Shares in 2 Days, Signals Strong Bet ACN Newswire

Shoucheng Buys Back 20M Shares in 2 Days, Signals Strong Bet

2025-07-31
HONG KONG, July 31, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Shoucheng Holdings Limited (0697.HK) has reaffirmed its confidence in long-term fundamentals by executing aggressive share buybacks on July 29 and 30, acquiring a total of 20.65 million shares at a cost of HK$37.93 million, with prices ranging from HK$1.80 to HK$1.87 per share.This is part of a broader buyback strategy—since early July, the company has repurchased over 36 million shares, totaling more than HK$66 million in capital deployed. According to management, these buybacks reflect not only near-term valuation confidence, but also long-term belief in the company’s strategic directions in robotics and healthcare technology."The buyback is not just about stabilizing the share price. It is an expression of long-term commitment to our shareholders and a vote of confidence in the commercial potential of our robotics and healthcare portfolios," the management stated.Portfolio Companies Advance Toward IPO MilestonesShoucheng’s capital return strategy is complemented by strong progress across its portfolio. Two of its most high-profile investees—IMUNOPHARM and Unitree Robotics—are now officially preparing for IPOs, signaling a near-term value realization window.IMUNOPHARM, a pioneer in China's CAR-T therapy space, signed a listing guidance agreement with CITIC Securities on July 23, 2025, officially launching its STAR Market IPO process. Meanwhile, Unitree Robotics signed its IPO guidance agreement earlier in July. Founded in 2016, Unitree is globally recognized for its leadership in quadruped and humanoid robotics, having pioneered the mass commercialization of high-performance legged robots. Its humanoid robots, the H1 and G1, are already in the market and featured at major global events including CES and the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Unitree has filed over 200 patent applications and maintained profitability since 2020, with annual revenue exceeding RMB 1 billion.The dual IPO progression of IMUNOPHARM and Unitree not only validates Shoucheng’s early-stage investment judgment, but also signals that several of its frontier-tech bets are approaching monetization.Northeast Securities: Robotics Strategy Backed by Cash Flow, Industrial ScenariosAccording to Northeast Securities, Shoucheng Holdings is the leading operator of parking infrastructure in China, having repeatedly secured high-frequency contracts for major airport parking concessions, each with annual throughput in the tens of millions. The firm’s recurring and robust cash flow from its parking and industrial real estate operations provides the financial backbone for its strategic expansion into robotics investment.As China’s robotics industry enters a critical commercialization window, Shoucheng’s unique dual-engine model—“invest with the left hand, operate with the right”—has become its second growth curve.In early 2024, Shoucheng and Beijing Guoguan jointly launched the Beijing Robotics Industry Development Investment Fund, with an initial target size of RMB 10 billion. Since then, the firm has invested—through multiple fund platforms—in top-tier robotics companies such as Unitree Robotics, DEEP Robotics, Galbot, Volant Aerotech. These companies span humanoid robots, medical robots, industrial automation, and more.What makes Shoucheng’s robotics investment strategy distinctive is its built-in industrial scenario advantage. The company operates over 100 parking facilities and manages over 1 million square meters of industrial park space across China, offering abundant real-world testing environments. This accelerates product commercialization, feeds operational data back into product iterations, and enables co-evolution between Shoucheng and its portfolio companies.In February 2025, Shoucheng formally established Beijing Shoucheng Robotics Technology Co., Ltd., further institutionalizing its industrial platform. Going forward, the conversion of in-house scenarios into actual robotics purchase orders—including deployments via REIT-backed properties and industry-specific use cases—will continue to validate this integrated approach. With its platform now connecting capital, use-case, and demand, Shoucheng is expected to sustain strong visibility in robotics commercialization going forward.As both Imunopharm and Unitree Robotics—Shoucheng Holdings’ key portfolio companies in the fields of medical and robotics technologies—progress toward IPO, the company is approaching a critical inflection point where strategic investment begins to convert into tangible capital returns.The recent share buybacks are not only a direct signal of confidence in Shoucheng’s intrinsic value, but also reflect its precise grasp of the timing for value realization.Against the backdrop of a polarized valuation landscape in Hong Kong’s equity market, Shoucheng Holdings’ continuous buyback initiative helps stabilize investor sentiment while reinforcing market expectations. With the upcoming World Robot Conference and Humanoid Robot Games set to shine a spotlight on the sector, the company is poised to benefit from a convergence of commercialization momentum and valuation recovery.From infrastructure operator to technology value enabler, from strategic organizer to capital return executor—Shoucheng Holdings’ second growth curve is now visibly unfolding.Posted by All Way Success Company Limited for Shoucheng Holdings www.shouchengholdings.com [HKSE:0697, FRA:SHVA, OTCPK:SHNHF] Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

金嗓子：喉寶產品獲烏茲別克斯坦衛生部認證

2025-07-31
香港，2025年7月31日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 隨着全球化進程的持續加速，中醫藥產業在國際市場上的影響力不斷擴大。在此背景下，眾多中醫藥企業紛紛加快「出海」步伐，積極布局國際市場，全力搶占全球健康產業的戰略高地。金嗓子（6896.HK）作為中國喉片市場的領軍品牌，海外拓展再傳捷報：金嗓子喉寶產品經烏茲別克斯坦實驗室檢測報告確認，烏茲別克斯坦衛生部認定該產品具有代謝調節和免疫支持功能。這意味着，公司產品成功進入烏茲別克斯坦。這不僅是對金嗓子產品的高度認可，更是對其在海外市場發展前景的有力肯定，標誌着公司國際化布局邁出了關鍵步伐。實際上，金嗓子海外拓展的征程勢如破竹，持續加速。24年7月以來，金嗓子產品相繼亮相泰國國際保健用品展、菲律賓國際醫藥用品展、烏茲別克斯坦中國品牌展、智利聖地亞哥食品展、沙特吉達國際食品展等重要國際展會，以「東方草本」的獨特魅力吸引全球目光。經過十多年的海外市場拓展，金嗓子的全球版圖實現跨越式拓展，產品矩陣已覆蓋全球五大洲60餘個國家和地區，構建起橫跨「一帶一路」沿線與RCEP經濟圈的國際化營銷網絡，全面體現了金嗓子在海外市場的強大實力與品牌的國際影響力，隨着品牌知名度的不斷提高，其在全球市場的競爭力也將進一步增強。金嗓子產品之所以能夠在全球獲得青睞，主要得益於公司強勁的研發實力。自1994年以來，公司已成功開發32項新產品，並已就該等產品取得生產許可證。公司旗艦陣容由兩大明星系列領銜——「金嗓子喉片（OTC）」與「金嗓子喉寶」系列產品，已實現對全國藥店、商超渠道的全場景覆蓋；新一代益生元產品「金嗓子腸寶益生元」，是體內益生菌最愛的養料，能輔助腸道內的有益菌，抑制有害菌，打造腸道菌群平衡生態；「金嗓子複合益生菌含片」則攜手北京農學院食品微生物功能開發科研團隊，採用自主知識產權菌株及六項國家專利活性益生菌技術，帶來三種時尚口味，為口腔與腸道雙重守護，這六項產品均為公司「王牌」產品。此外，公司另有8款藥品、22款食品、1款保健食品及1款醫療器械產品，形成豐富產品矩陣。2025年下半年開始，金嗓子集團也將逐步重磅推出六款經典名方新藥，讓千年智慧煥發新生。並且，為進一步提升研發能力，公司研發產業化基地二期工程於2023年10月全面動工。截至2024年底，二期工程已經完成大部分地上建築結構，準備進入內部裝修階段，該基地將構建「一核三極」創新生態體系，打造集研發孵化、智能製造、學術交流於一體的健康產業創新高地，為公司未來的持續發展提供強大的技術支撐與創新動力。全球化戰略的持續推進，亦為金嗓子帶來了亮眼的財務表現。根據財報，2024年公司收益約為人民幣11.85億元，同比增長23.3%，毛利約為人民幣8.94億元，同比增長28.2%，淨利約為人民幣3.19億元，同比增長27.3%。中長期來看，隨着消費升級的持續推進以及全民健康意識的逐步覺醒，中國大健康產業將迎來蓬勃發展的黃金時期，咽喉健康市場亦將隨之持續擴容。根據中國醫藥工業信息中心預測，2023-2028年該領域複合增長率將維持在12.3%的高位，其中OTC類產品占比預計從當前58%提升至65%。金嗓子作為咽喉健康領域的頭部企業，憑藉着優異的產品質量、強大的品牌力及深遠的文化輸出戰略，有望迎來前所未有的發展機遇。展望未來，公司將進一步拓展市場份額，持續鞏固行業領先地位，力爭在全球市場上脫穎而出，為全球消費者帶來更加質量化、多樣化的大健康產品，為中國中醫藥文化的傳播和發展做出更大的貢獻。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

連續回購逾2000萬股 首程控股率先出手釋放強烈信號 ACN Newswire

連續回購逾2000萬股 首程控股率先出手釋放強烈信號

2025-07-31
香港，2025年7月31日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 在港股整體估值承壓、觀望情緒濃厚之際，首程控股（0697.HK）選擇以實際行動回應市場。根據港交所公告，公司於2025年7月29日及30日連續兩日斥資3,792.93萬港元，累計回購2,065萬股股份，成交價介乎每股1.80至1.87港元。這並非公司首次大手筆出手。今年7月以來，公司已累計回購逾3,600萬股，總金額超過6,600萬港元。在多數企業仍持審慎態度之時，首程控股的密集回購行動，愈發凸顯其底氣與信心。一、回購非僅為「護盤」 更是管理層對企業價值的堅定表態股份回購一向被視為上市公司向資本市場釋放信號的重要方式。與短期性的「技術性托底」不同，首程控股的多輪主動回購，明顯建立在管理層對公司長期價值的判斷之上。公司管理層表示：「目前公司股價未能充分反映企業基本面及產業潛力，我們認為在價值嚴重低估階段，應由公司主動出手，釋放長期信心。這不僅是對股東負責的體現，更是作為一家產業型企業的責任擔當。」公開資料顯示，首程控股近年圍繞「資產營運 + 資產融通」雙輪驅動戰略，持續推進產業空間管理、公募REITs投資、智慧停車等多元業務發展，並前瞻性布局機械人與醫療科技等新興賽道，產業協同效應與資本結構日益穩健。二、IPO預期臨近 資本兌現窗口漸開近期，首程控股所投企業利好頻傳。機械人領域代表性企業宇樹科技已正式啟動科創板上市進程。作為全球領先的四足及人形機械人企業，宇樹科技的上市預期被視為行業資本化的重要拐點。首程控股於2024年領投其C輪融資，並在後續輪次中持續支持。根據公開資訊，首程控股管理的北京機器人產業發展投資基金目前為宇樹科技第八大股東，或將成為其上市的主要受益方之一。與此同時，專注於細胞治療與免疫工程的創新藥企業IMUNOPHARM亦已正式進入IPO籌備階段，為首程控股在醫療科技方向的投資組合提供重要退出渠道。隨著多個項目逐步進入「價值兌現」週期，首程控股的持續回購不僅有助提振市場信心，也反映管理層對一級資產估值與二級市場股價錯配情況的敏銳判斷。三、三場大會賦能「機械人矩陣」落地除資本層面進展外，公司在產業端的佈局亦迎來關鍵節點。7月底，2025世界人工智能大會（WAIC）圓滿落幕，首程控股旗下被投企業如宇樹科技、松延動力、墨現科技、雲深處、銀河通用等集中亮相，展示了中國智能製造及具身智能領域的最新突破。緊接着，8月即將舉行兩場重磅產業盛會：2025世界機器人大會（WRC）及首屆世界人形機械人運動會。作為行業年度核心平台，兩場大會不僅匯聚全球頭部技術與應用團隊，亦將為首程控股構建的「機械人生態」提供規模化曝光與應用落地機遇。據悉，首程控股旗下的宇樹科技、銀河通用、加速進化、松延動力、雲深處等企業將悉數參展，覆蓋從整機研發、控制系統、仿生驅動，到場景應用及開發者平台等多個細分環節，充分展示從投資佈局到產業協同的全鏈條能力。在眾多企業仍觀望市場回暖之際，首程控股已用連續回購的方式，率先向市場發出清晰信號。當回購不再僅是價格管理工具，而成為公司對未來戰略的「投票行動」，其背後所體現的判斷力、執行力與長期主義，尤為稀缺。隨着8月產業窗口期臨近，以及IPO推進與資本兌現預期升溫，首程控股的回購動作或不僅是當下價值的維穩，更是對中長期成長邏輯的提前確認。Posted by All Way Success Company Limited for Shoucheng Holdings www.shouchengholdings.com [HKSE:0697, FRA:SHVA, OTCPK:SHNHF] Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

Fully aligned with measures outlined in the 2024 Policy Address, the festival aims to support Hong Kong's small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as they expand into the Mainland e-commerce market. As the flagship event of HKTDC's E-commerce Express, the Hong Kong Shopping Festival has attracted nearly 260 brands across seven major categories, including health supplements, food and beverages, home and living, personal care and cosmetics, apparel and accessories, smart gadgets, and products for the silver market. The festival features over 500 unique products and offers month-long discount promotions. With the full support of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), a launch ceremony for the second Hong Kong Shopping Festival was held today. The Financial Secretary of the HKSAR Government Paul Chan also filmed a promotional video for the campaign (video link: https://bit.ly/4mkvpec). Algernon Yau, Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development of the HKSAR Government said: “Building on the great success of the first edition of the Hong Kong Shopping Festival last year, this year’s event has attracted even more brands to participate. E-commerce is a major global trend in retail development. In 2024, the cross-border e-commerce market of the Mainland with vast potential reached over RMB17 trillion, presenting a golden opportunity for Hong Kong businesses to expand. In light of this, the government has been fully supporting industry upgrading and transformation through various measures to help enterprises establish online sales channels. The Hong Kong Shopping Festival serves as an ideal platform to showcase the city's premium products to more Mainland consumers."Patrick Lau, Deputy Executive Director, HKTDC, said: “New consumer trends are emerging in the Mainland market, reshaping buying habits and creating tremendous opportunities for Hong Kong businesses. While Hong Kong SMEs offer high-quality products, they need to understand the local business environment and e-commerce practices to successfully enter this vast market. As the flagship event of HKTDC's E-commerce Express, the second Hong Kong Shopping Festival will partner with major e-commerce and social media platforms for promotion and include a series of training sessions focused on the Mainland e-commerce market. This initiative aims to help businesses effectively tap into opportunities in Mainland e-commerce and connect with their target customers.”In November 2024, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) released a research study on the development of cross-border e-commerce for Hong Kong traders. HKTDC Director of Research, Irina Fan, said over 60% of surveyed Hong Kong businesses view the Mainland Chinese market as the most promising e-commerce market in the coming one to two years. To help Hong Kong businesses gain insights into the Mainland e-commerce market, HKTDC Research interviewed 2,200 Mainland consumers from different regions about their online shopping behavior and characteristics. Ms Fan said: “Mainland China is the world’s largest e-commerce market and has a well-developed e-commerce industry. Hong Kong businesses must gain a deep understanding of Mainland consumers’ online shopping behaviors, their preferences for Hong Kong products, and the factors they consider when choosing e-commerce platforms. Only then can they formulate appropriate business strategies and effectively capture opportunities in the Mainland e-commerce retail market.” The latest research report: Hong Kong Businesses Navigating Mainland China E-commerce Retail Market - Consumer Survey Results will be released on 7 August 2025.The Hong Kong Shopping Festival aims to help Hong Kong businesses take advantage of the large customer base and traffic on Mainland e-commerce platforms, boosting their brand and product visibility while providing practical opportunities. Last year's inaugural edition was very successful, with total views on e-commerce platforms, social media, and the event's official website exceeding 90 million. This year, the HKTDC has enhanced the programme, enabling businesses to better seize market opportunities and speed up their expansion into the Mainland market.To enhance support for Hong Kong SMEs and local brands entering the Mainland e-commerce market, this year's Hong Kong Shopping Festival has introduced thematic seminars and one-on-one consultancy services. From late 2024 to June 2025, HKTDC has successfully organised a series of training sessions led by marketing experts, who shared practical insights on topics such as cross-border e-commerce, logistics, payment tools, marketing skills, and live-stream production. Additionally, nearly 50 one-on-one consulting meetings were held, where Mainland marketing experts offered tailored e-commerce strategies to individual participating companies based on the unique characteristics of their products.This year, Discount Month and live-streaming e-commerce will return with enhanced offering. Discount Month will take place from 1 to 31 August, with all Hong Kong businesses involved in the Hong Kong Shopping Festival offering discounts of up to 75%. This initiative not only helps businesses grow but also allows consumers to buy high-quality products from Hong Kong online. The official website of Hong Kong Shopping Festival will provide event details, live-streaming schedules and information about participating brands, products and discounts. In addition, HKTDC will promote the campaign through online and offline platforms, including Xiaohongshu, Douyin, Taobao, JD and others, to boost visits to the official website and, redirect them to the SMEs’ online stores.HKTDC recently hosted the debut “Product Selection Showcase” which attracted over 40 popular KOLs and their teams from platforms like Taobao, JD.com, and Douyin to connect with participating brands offline in Hong Kong. They experienced the products firsthand, learned about the brand stories, shared highlights and live-stream previews. In early August, HKTDC’s invited Mainland key opinion leaders (KOLs), including Li Jiaqi, Lin Yilun and Hu Ke, will conduct 35 live-streaming sessions for more than 80 brands on major e-commerce platforms, in which nearly 20 live-streaming sessions will take place in Hong Kong for the first time, allowing Mainland consumers to fully experience shopping in Hong Kong. This arrangement will make live-streaming more appealing, enhance visibility for Hong Kong products and brands, and build consumer trust and interest, while providing a valuable live-streaming experience for participating businesses.Mainland online marketing strategies are diverse and multifaceted. Beyond live-streaming, there are numerous ways to enhance brand exposure. Ryan Tse, President of the Hong Kong Health Food Association, Director of Vita Green Health Products Co., Ltd., Elijandy, Founder and Director of Cross International Ltd and Jones Ng, Founder of Chiwa Digital Media Capital Group Ltd. shared valuable insights in e-commerce marketing and promotion at the launch ceremony.

Wintermar Offshore (WINS:JK) Reports 1H2025 Results ACN Newswire

Wintermar Offshore (WINS:JK) Reports 1H2025 Results

2025-07-30
JAKARTA, July 29, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Wintermar’s Operating Profit jumped 55.8%YOY to US$8.9million for 1H2025, derived from 17% growth in Owned Vessel Revenue in 1H2025 and higher gross margins from better fleet mix and higher charter rates.Owned Vessel revenues were higher in 1H2025 compared to 1H2024 despite lower utilization due to better yielding vessels in operation in 1H2025. Owned Vessel DivisionAlthough the number of vessels has not changed, fleet composition has improved with 2 additional PSVs in operation in 1H2025 as well as 3 newly delivered HLBs which 2 units commenced work in April 2025 and 1 unit in July 2025. With 4 additional units of higher yielding vessels in operation compared to last year, gross margins from the Owned Vessels Division expanded from 29.6% in 1H2024 to 39.1% in 1H2025. This resulted in a 54.4%YOY jump in Gross Profit growth for the Owned Vessel Division to US$12.4million, despite a fall in utilization from 63.7% in FY2024 to 57.9% in 1H2025.Despite a slower first half of the year which caused a dip in utilization, the Company reaped the benefit of improving average charter rates from a higher number of operational vessels at the higher value segment of the fleet. Owned Vessel Expenses increased by 22%QOQ from 1Q2025 to 2Q2025 due to an increase of fleet as well as Operational costs. Chartering Division and Other ServicesChartering revenues experienced a sharp decline, as several vessels ended a contract which has not been renewed. Gross Profit from Chartering fell from US$0.7million in 1H2024 to US$0.2million in 1H2025.Gross Profit from Other Services fell to US$1.4million (-11.5%YOY) in1H2025 in line with the lower vessel utilization for the period compared to last year. Direct Expenses and Gross ProfitTotal Owned Vessel Direct Expenses rose only slightly by 1.3%YOY to US$19.4million for 1H2025. The largest increase came from Fuel Bunker costs which rose to US$1.4million (+46.1%YOY) due to the mobilization of vessels to overseas contracts. All other costs were lower except for Fleet Maintenance which rose 2.2%YOY to US$4.1million in 1H2025.On a quarterly basis, there were higher operational and maintenance costs in 2Q2025 compared to 1Q2025 due to the preparation and mobilization of a mid-tier vessel for a long-term contract in the Middle East. Indirect Expenses and Operating ProfitTotal Indirect Expense rose by 11.0%YOY to US$5.1million in 1H2025. The largest increase came from salary and employee benefits which rose by 10.0%YOY and 16.9%YOY to US$3.8million and US$0.2million respectively. With the improvement in business conditions and a wider geographic spread of operations, there was an increase in the number of employees in 2025 compared to last year. Telecommunications and marketing costs also rose with more international projects and higher costs of bid bond fees in the tender process.Due to good cost control, Operating Profit for 1H2025 jumped by 55.8% to US$8.9million from US$5.7million in the previous year. Other Income, Expenses and Net Attributable ProfitAs the Company refinanced the newly acquired vessels from the past year, interest expenses rose to US$1million for 1H2025, while interest income also doubled to US$0.3million due to strong operational cash flow.There was a turnaround in Equity in net earnings of Associates from a loss of US$0.4million in 1Q2025 to a profit of US$0.7million in 2Q2025. This resulted in a gain of US$0.6million from Investment in Associates for 1H2025, slightly lower than US$0.8million in 1H2024.During 2Q2025, management successfully sold a smaller mid-tier vessel for a profit, resulting in a net gain on sale of fixed asset of US$1.7million. This is in line with the continued fleet renewal program where smaller mid-tier vessels which are lower yielding will continue to be sold off to concentrate the fleet on larger and higher yielding vessels. However, this cannot compare with the significant one-off gain of US$17.4million recorded in 1H2024 primarily from the sale of a platform supply vessel. Therefore, total Other Income was US$1.7million for 1H2025 as compared to US$17.4million in 1H2024 which included the one-off vessel sale.Net income before tax for 1H2025 totalled US$10.7million, compared to US$23.2million in 1H2024. This 53.8% decline does not reflect the underlying improvement in the core business as 1H2024 profit included the sizable one-off gain from the vessel sale. Non-Controlling Interest fell from US$6.4 million in 1H2024 which included some profit from the sale of vessel to US$2.7 million in 1H2025. The group’s EBITDA jumped by 25.8%YOY for 1H2025, reaching US$16.0 million compared to US$12.7million in 1H2024.Stripping out the impact of vessel sales, the underlying profit for 1H2025 was US$ 5.4million compared to US$4.9million in 1H2024 representing a growth of 10.1%YOY.Industry Outlook There are growing signs of a pivot from renewable energy back to hydrocarbons as the world faces a growing need for energy while renewable sources of fuel are still insufficient and less economical. The continuing uncertainty in the Middle East and ongoing wars in Ukraine and Gaza have put pressure on governments around the world to seek energy security. In addition, the increasing need for energy for the “Green Transition” and data centres has led to a resurgence of demand for oil and gas. These factors have led to projections for global investment in oil and gas being maintained above US$610 billion in the coming years, with a steadily growing share invested into offshore fields. In Indonesia, the government has continued to push for self-sufficiency in various sectors, with energy being one of the sectors benefitting from this plan. There are at present four sizeable strategic national projects in Indonesian offshore fields which are currently in the early stage of exploration and where production is expected from 2026-2030. These projects will sustain demand for OSVs in Indonesia in the coming years.Business ProspectsThe Company’s focus on developing a strong presence in the dynamic positioning segment is bringing in benefits of a higher blended fleet charter rate which has led to higher gross margins. The 3 units of newly built HLB which commenced work in April to July 2025 will underpin earnings in 2H2025, and there is a third reactivated PSV expected to be operational at the end of 3Q2025. The investment cycle for oil and gas is still expected to ramp up for the next few years, providing better fleet utilization which will lead to profit upside.The stronger cash flow arising from a low debt position has enabled the Company to continue investing into higher value vessels while selling lower yielding vessels. The additional vessels coming into operation in 2025 will provide upside for 2026 earnings. Total contracts on hand as at end June 2025 has risen to US$70.9 million.About Wintermar Offshore Marine GroupWintermar Offshore Marine Group (WINS.JK), developed over nearly 50 years with a track record of quality that is both a source of pride and responsibility that we are dedicated to upholding, and sails a fleet of more than 48 Offshore Support Vessels ready for long term as well as spot charters.

GEN and Sulfateq BV Announce Positive Phase 1 Trial Data on Investigational Drug SUL-238 for Alzheimer’s and Other Neurodegenerative Diseases

2025-07-29
ANKARA, Turkey, July 28, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - GEN Pharmaceuticals (GENIL.IS), Türkiye's leading specialty pharmaceutical company, announced positive results from its Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of first-in-class and novel orally administered mitochondria-directed drug candidate SUL-238 in healthy elderly volunteers. The findings were presented at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference 2025 (AAIC®) in Toronto.This single oral ascending dose (SAD) Phase 1, first-in-human, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted in three parts, involving a total of 53 healthy elderly adults. Part 1 included 6 cohorts (50, 100, 250, 500, 1000, and 2000 mg orally, n=23). In Part 2, the PK of a single 1000 mg oral dose was investigated in 10 healthy elderly adults. In Part 2B, the food effect was assessed using a randomized, single oral 2000 mg dose, two-treatment, two-period, crossover design (n=20).The trial results showed that single oral doses of 50-2000 mg of SUL-238 were safe and well-tolerated, while demonstrating a favourable PK profile and high cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) penetration. These findings make SUL-238 a promising candidate for further clinical development in neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease.No adverse effects (AEs) limited dose escalation, AE rates were comparable between SUL-238 and placebo, and all AEs were mild or moderate. The mean terminal elimination half-life was 0.86-3.80 hours, and the time to maximum plasma concentration was 0.50-1.39 hours. Under fed conditions, maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) and area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC0-∞) decreased by 50% and 60%, respectively. CSF-to-plasma percentages at 2 and 8 hours post-dose were 21.1% (±6.6%) and 74.2% (±46.0%).Abidin Gülmüs, Chairman of GEN, stated:"We are very encouraged by these promising first-in-human results, marking an important step forward in our mission to address the underlying biology of Alzheimer's disease."Nadir Ulu, MD, PhD, Vice President of R&D at GEN, added:"With its excellent safety and PK profile in this Phase 1 trial, combined with robust preclinical data, SUL-238 represents a strong candidate for further clinical development to meet the critical unmet needs in neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease."About SUL-238SUL-238 is a novel, first-in-class, hibernation-derived small molecule that targets mitochondria, the cell's "powerhouse."

宇樹衝刺IPO、機械人應用加速落地：首程控股雙輪驅動兌現紅利

2025-07-29
香港，2025年7月29日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 一方面是衝刺IPO、劍指「中國機械人第一股」的宇樹科技，另一方面是在RoboCup機械人世界盃實現歷史性奪冠的加速進化。近期，這兩家中國機械人企業在資本與技術兩個維度上持續引發市場關注，而它們的共同投資方正是首程控股（0697.HK）。隨着機械人產業邁入商業化驗證與全球競技突破的雙重關口，首程控股正迎來技術與資本「同步兌現」的高光時刻。一、 宇樹IPO在即，首程有望收獲首個「退出紅利」7月18日，中國證監會官網披露，宇樹科技已完成上市輔導備案，進入申報準備階段。作為全球四足及人形機械人出貨量領先企業，宇樹旗下Go1、H1等產品已於全球市場建立強勁品牌聲量。根據公開資料，首程控股透過「北京機器人產業發展投資基金」持有宇樹3.96%股權，並同時擔任基金的GP與LP，既參與管理，亦享有實質回報。隨着宇樹IPO推進，首程將迎來基金退出、資產重估、業績分成等多重利好。正如首程董事會辦公室總經理康雨所言：「機械人行業正從技術突破走向交付驗證，資本角色亦需從單點投放轉向系統推動。」宇樹IPO正是該策略下的重要節點。二、 加速進化奪冠，國產機械人首次登頂RoboCup7月20日，在2025年RoboCup機械人世界盃上，由首程被投企業加速進化研發的T1與K1人形機械人，助力中國戰隊包攬人形組前三及小型組前二。其中，清華火神隊使用加速T1戰勝全球強敵，贏得中國在此項賽事的首個冠軍。RoboCup素有「機械人界奧運」之稱，特別是人形組，對演算法、感知能力、運控精度及協同技術要求極高。加速進化此次技術表現，不僅為中國團隊摘得殊榮，更彰顯中國機械人整機能力已達世界一流水準。作為早期投資方之一，首程控股正見證中國機械人從「能跑」到「能贏」的關鍵轉折，並將技術優勢回饋至自建的產業平台體系。三、 產業組織者定位凸顯，平台型價值正加速釋放宇樹與加速進化分別代表商業化落地與技術驗證兩大方向。首程控股不僅精準押注，更正系統性構建機械人產業底層平台。透過產業基金，首程已布局銀河通用、松延動力、星海圖、墨現科技等關鍵企業，形成涵蓋感知、模型、本體、交互的「具身智能生態」。同時，公司搭建了銷售、租賃、渠道、開發者社群等支撐機制，並於自有園區、機場、停車場等場景落地應用。目前機械人產業正進入「交付元年」，而首程控股同時見證宇樹IPO與加速進化技術奪冠，雙線紅利開始兌現。值得注意的是，儘管公司2024年派息近11億港元、股息率高達8%，並深度布局機械人產業，首程估值仍處低位，市場對其「類債穩定＋科技成長」雙重屬性尚未充分反映。當機械人產業從「炫技」走向「幹活」、從實驗室走入財報，首程控股正是紅利結構中最具代表性的產業平台型公司之一。 Posted by All Way Success Co Ltd, for:Shoucheng Holdings, www.shouchengholdings.com [HKSE: 0697, FRA: SHVA, OTCPK: CGEY, OTCPK: SHNHF] Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

Unitree Races Toward IPO as Robot Applications Accelerate: Shoucheng Holdings Unlocks Dual-Engine Gains

2025-07-29
HONG KONG, July 29, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On one front, Unitree is accelerating toward an IPO, aiming to become “China’s first publicly listed robotics company.” On the other, Booster Robotics has just secured a historic championship at the RoboCup World Cup. These two Chinese robotics leaders have captured industry and capital market attention across both technical and financial dimensions—and they share the same investor: Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK).As the robotics industry reaches a dual inflection point—commercial validation and global competition breakthroughs—Shoucheng is entering a high-momentum phase where both technology and capital returns are being realized in parallel.Unitree’s Upcoming IPO: First Exit Dividends in SightOn July 18, China’s securities regulator (CSRC) announced that Unitree has completed its IPO tutoring and is now preparing for official filing. As a global leader in the shipment of quadruped and humanoid robots, Unitree’s Go1 and H1 products have gained strong traction in international markets.According to public disclosures, Shoucheng Holdings holds a 3.96% stake in Unitree through the Beijing Robotics Industry Development Investment Fund, where it serves as both GP and LP—managing the fund while also sharing in its returns. With Unitree’s IPO process underway, Shoucheng is poised to benefit from fund exits, asset revaluation, and profit-sharing. As Kang Yu, General Manager of Shoucheng’s Board Office, noted in a recent interview:“The robotics industry is shifting from technical breakthroughs to delivery validation. Capital must move from point-based deployment to systemic enablement.”Unitree’s IPO represents a key milestone in that systemic strategy.Booster Robotics Takes the Crown: China Wins RoboCup for the First TimeOn July 20, at the 2025 RoboCup World Cup, Booster Robotics—a Shoucheng-backed company—powered the Chinese national team to dominate the competition. Its T1 and K1 humanoid robots enabled China to sweep the top three places in the Humanoid League and the top two in the Small-Size League. Tsinghua University’s “Huoshen” team won the country’s first-ever RoboCup title with Booster’s T1 robot.Known as the “Olympics of Robotics,” RoboCup—especially the Humanoid League—is an intense test of cutting-edge capabilities in algorithms, perception, motion control, and multi-agent coordination. Booster’s performance was not just a sporting victory, but a global-level validation of China’s full-stack robotic engineering capabilities. As an early investor, Shoucheng has been a direct witness to China’s leap from “running” to “winning”—and is now bringing that technical strength into broader platform integration.From Investor to Ecosystem Builder: Shoucheng’s Platform Value EmergesUnitree and Booster Robotics represent two complementary success paths: one in commercialization, the other in advanced technology validation. But Shoucheng Holdings is more than just an early backer—it is actively building China’s foundational robotics platform.Through its robotics industry fund, Shoucheng has made strategic investments in companies such as Unitree, Galaxea-AI, Noetix Robotics, DEEP Robotics, forming a comprehensive embodied intelligence ecosystem across sensing, modeling, hardware, and interaction.Meanwhile, it has also built out a commercial infrastructure including sales and leasing platforms, in-house channels (like robotics experience centers), and developer communities—all deployed across its own real-world assets like industrial parks, airports, and parking facilities.2025 marks the “year of delivery” for robotics, and Shoucheng is executing efficiently across both its strategic lines. Unitree’s IPO is opening an exit window, while Booster Robotics has reached new technical heights in global competition.These two outcomes reflect the tangible success of Shoucheng’s “systematic layout + platform operations” model. Despite its strong dividend record (HK$1.1 billion in 2024, with an 8% yield) and deep positioning in robotics, Shoucheng’s current valuation remains low—its dual characteristics of “bond-like stability + tech-driven growth” are yet to be fully priced in by the market.The robotics industry is entering a new phase—moving from spectacle to substance, from lab demos to financial statements. Shoucheng Holdings stands as one of the most representative industrial platform companies ready to capture this dividend era.
