China XLX Announces 2025 Annual Results Deepening efforts in reducing costs, enhancing efficiency, strengthening competitiveness through differentiation and driving marketing transformation
Press Release(For immediate release)China XLX Announces 2025 Annual ResultsDeepening efforts in reducing costs, enhancing efficiency, strengthening competitivenessthrough differentiation and driving marketing transformation2025 Annual Results Highlights: Profit attributable to owners of the parent after deducting non-recurring items grew by 1.2% YoY to approximately RMB 932 million. Dividend payment increased by 23.1% YoY to RMB 32 fen per share. The ratio of long-term to short-term borrowings improved from 6:4 at the beginning of the year to 8:2 at the year end with finance cost dropped by 3% YoY. The Group’s liquidity and capital structure was thus further optimized. Development of the Xinxiang New Chemical Materials Project and the Zhundong Production Base progressed smoothly. The Group’s share in domestic fertiliser market is expected to grow by 6 percentage points upon the full operation of five production bases. (29 March 2026, Hong Kong) China XLX Fertiliser Ltd. (“China XLX” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries collectively referred to as the “Group”) (stock code: 01866.HK) announced that the Group’s revenue for the year ended 31 December 2025 grew by 9.6% year-on-year to approximately RMB 25.35 billion. Profit attributable to owners of the parent for the period amounted to approximately RMB 932 million, down by 36.1% year-on-year and up by 1.2% year-on-year if non-recurring items were deducted.In order to reward shareholders for their long-term support and to send a positive signal to the capital market, the Board of Directors, after comprehensive consideration of the Group’s actual operating performance and future strategic plans, proposed to distribute a final dividend of RMB 32 fen per share, up by 23.1% year-on-year.During the review period, the supply glut of domestic coal chemical-related market dragged down the selling prices of products and weighed on the industry’s overall operating results. The Group adhered to the core profitability model of “low cost + differentiation” and focused on “project development” and “marketing transformation”. While making continuous efforts in reducing costs and increasing efficiency, it reinforced the competitive edges through differentiation and advanced the strategy of marketing transformation, thereby ensuring the stable operation of overall business.During the review period, revenue from urea sales reached approximately RMB 6.83 billion, down by 6% year-on-year. Due to the decline in feedstock prices, urea selling price was sluggish in the first quarter and led to a 10% year-on-year decrease in the average selling price for the year. On the other hand, driven by relaxed export controls and the unleashing of demand for winter stockpiling, urea prices rebounded quarter by quarter afterwards. It is noteworthy that the selling price in the fourth quarter climbed by 3% from previous quarter. In order to mitigate the adverse impacts of declining prices, the Group fully capitalized on the opening of export window to expand overseas sales with a primary focus on increasing the proportion of exports to Southeast Asia. As a result, the urea export volume substantially grew, leading to a 3% year-on-year increase in urea sales volume for the year.Revenue from compound fertiliser sales amounted to approximately RMB 6.92 billion in the year, up by 15% year-on-year. In a market environment characterized by misalignment in price transmission, the Group leveraged its nationwide network of small-scale production bases to accelerate marketing transformation and to strengthen agrochemical services, resulting in a 19% year-on-year increase in the sales volume of compound fertiliser. Nevertheless, owing to the national policies to stabilize selling prices and supply, the transmission of feedstock costs to the product prices was delayed, creating a temporary operational pressure arising from “lower prices amid rising costs”. Besides, farmers delayed fertiliser stockpiling, leading to a 3% year-on-year decrease in the average selling price of compound fertiliser.Revenue from methanol sales in the year surged by 37% year-on-year to approximately RMB 3.67 billion. As domestic economy steadily picked up and the capacity utilization of chemical sector improved, the downstream demand for methanol gradually recovered. As a result, the sales volume of methanol jumped by 43% from the previous year. On the other hand, methanol imports from the Middle East climbed to a record high due to geopolitical tensions. The average selling price of methanol hence dropped by 4% year-on-year on ample supply in the market.With the successful commissioning of Jiujiang Phase II Project, the Group possessed more low-cost, high-quality production capacity. It became a benchmark for the Group’s development of large-scale project and capacity optimization plan. Meanwhile, the construction of the new chemical materials project at theXinxiang Production Base and the Zhundong Production Base progressed as planned. When all of five major production bases come on stream, the Group’s share in domestic fertiliser market is expected to increase by 6 percentage points. Leveraging its large-scale synthetic ammonia production bases, the Group had established multiple small-scale compound fertiliser bases across the country. Benefiting from their proximity to end-user markets, the Group further strengthened the nationwide marketing network.In order to safeguard the financial security and ensure its stable operation, the Group promoted steady and orderly development of large-scale production bases and projects in accordance with the development strategy for next three years, with investment in new projects and new production bases increasing by approximately 24% year-on-year. At the same time, the Group continued to optimize the debt structure, strengthening its financial stability and ensuring the orderly development of projects through medium- and long-term low-cost financings.The Group further optimized the borrowing structure through the expansion of medium- and long-term financings. As a result, the ratio of long-term to short-term borrowings improved from 6:4 at the beginning of the year to 8:2 at the year end, thus further enhancing its liquidity and capital structure. During the period, the Group completed the replacement of high-interest loans worth approximately RMB 9.24 billion, including all prior high-interest financial lease loans. The borrowing interest rate thus reduced by 0.5 percentage point. While the Group continued to proceed with its development strategy and to increase the cash resources, its finance costs still dropped by 3% year-on-year. Looking ahead into 2026, Mr. Liu Xingxu, Chairman of China XLX, said: The general trend of domestic urea market for the year will see “ample supply, stable demand and export controls”. Despite the persistence of supply glut, the arable land area is expected to further expand under the support of national policy to ensure grain production. Therefore, agricultural demand is likely to grow. At the same time, the government is expected to further relax export controls and it cannot be ruled out that the export volume will be increased to optimize the demand and supply condition in the market. The imbalance condition of the urea market will see phasal improvement. All in all, the urea price for this year will remain stable, and the selling price is expected to grow steadily in the first half amid robust agricultural demand for farming peak season.Regarding project development, the trial run of the synthetic ammonia production facility at the Xinxiang New Chemical Materials Phase I Project (with capacity of 570,000 tons) goes smoothly. Most of its indicators perform well. Through energy-saving renovation of key equipment and optimization of production process, the project's production costs are expected to decrease by approximately 8% when compared with the Group's existing production facilities. Meanwhile, the development of the Zhundong Production Base Phase I is progressing steadily as planned and it is expected to be put into operation by the end of this year. With an access to local feedstocks, this project will enjoy significant benefits from low-cost feedstocks. Upon the commencement of its operation, the Group will reinforce the market leadership in terms of production capacity and energy efficiency, thereby laying a solid foundation for it to implement large-scale expansion and enhance its market competitiveness in the future.~ END ~About China XLX Fertiliser Ltd.China XLX Fertiliser Ltd. is one of the largest and most cost-efficient coal-based urea producers in China.

Trio Industrial (1710) 2025 Recorded Revenue at approximately HK$775.3 million; Continues to implement Dual‑engine Strategy of Electronic Manufacturing Services and New Energy Businesses
【For Immediate release】Trio Industrial Electronics Group Limited(Stock Code: 1710.HK)Announces 2025 Annual Results* * *Recorded Revenue at approximately HK$775.3 millionContinues to implement Dual‑engine Strategy of Electronic Manufacturing Services and New Energy Businesses to Build a “Greater Asia New Energy Business Network”(Hong Kong – 27 March 2026) Trio Industrial Electronics Group Limited (“Trio Industrial” or the “Group”; stock code: 1710), aleadingmanufacturer and distributor of advanced industrial electronic components and products in Hong Kong, today announced the annual results of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) for the year ended 31 December 2025 (the “Year”).During the Year, the overall operating environment remained challenging. Europe and North America continued to be the Group’s major markets, where operating conditions were affected by relatively tight interest rate conditions, ongoing geopolitical tensions and the implementation of the revised tariff policy in the United States. In response, many customers adopted a more prudent procurement approach, focusing on inventory management and adjusting their purchasing strategies, which led to weaker demand during the Year. As a result, the Group’s revenue for the financial year 2025 decreased by approximately 23.1% year‑on‑year to approximately HK$775.3 million. Nevertheless, the Group maintained stringent cost control and optimised its staffing and labour structure, resulting in a decrease in overall administrative expenses compared with last year. Overall, the Group recorded a gross profit of approximately HK$139.6 million for the financial year 2025, representing a decrease of approximately 25.5% compared with the previous year, while gross profit margin decreased by 0.6 percentage points from 18.6% to 18.0%. The Group recorded a loss attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$35.4 million for the Year. The Group maintained a healthy financial position, with cash and cash equivalents (including restricted bank deposits) of approximately HK$140.5 million and a net cash position (cash and cash equivalents less borrowings). The current ratio was approximately 2.7 times, similar to that as at 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2024.To navigate the complex and evolving global market environment, Trio Industrial is accelerating the implementation of its joint design manufacturing strategy, deepening cooperation with key customers and enhancing value‑add and profit potential from the product design stage, while strengthening long‑term customer relationships. In line with this direction, the Group is actively recruiting professionals who possess both technical expertise and market insights to enhance its global sales and engineering teams, further expand market coverage and support future business growth.In terms of global manufacturing network, the Group’s Thailand production facility serves as a strategic export base for the United States of America and Southeast Asian markets, providing greater flexibility in addressing geopolitical developments and tariff barriers.

Behind the 449% Sequential Revenue Growth: Xunce Technology, Accelerates Its Embrace of the Token Economy
On March 27, 2026, Hong Kong-listed Xunce Technology (03317.HK)released its 2025 annual results, delivering a standout performance that captured market attention. The company achieved full-year revenue of RMB 1.285 billion, representing year-on-year growth of 103.28%, crossing the RMB 1 billion revenue threshold. Adjusted net loss narrowed to RMB 54.85 million, a significant improvement of 33.31% from the previous year. More importantly, the company achieved adjusted net profit of RMB 50.13 million in the second half of 2025, marking its first semi‑annual profitability and confirming a clear inflection point.In terms of growth trajectory, first‑half revenue was RMB 198 million, while second‑half revenue surged to RMB 1.087 billion, a 449.32% sequential increase. This explosive growth closely aligns with the concentrated release of enterprise demand for real‑time data as AI models entered a phase of large‑scale deployment.As the AI industry shifts its focus from "model training" to "inference at scale," the strategic importance of data infrastructure is being fundamentally rewritten.Behind these results lies Xunce Technology's value realization as a core player in AI‑driven real‑time data infrastructure, signaling the arrival of a new era driven by the token economy.Financial Inflection Point: More Than Growth – A Qualitative ShiftWhat makes Xunce's 2025 results particularly compelling is not just the revenue growth, but the simultaneous improvement in profitability and growth trajectory.The shift in profitability carries even greater significance. Full‑year adjusted net loss narrowed to RMB 54.85 million, a 33.41% improvement over 2024. Looking at the second half alone, the company achieved adjusted net profit of RMB 50.14 million – a sharp reversal from the RMB 105 million loss in the first half – marking its first semi‑annual profit. This demonstrates that the company's business model has successfully navigated the transition from scale expansion to profit generation.From a financial structure perspective, as of the end of 2025, total assets reached RMB 3.172 billion, net assets stood at RMB 2.42 billion, and cash and cash equivalents reached RMB 1.084 billion, an increase of approximately 216% year‑on‑year, providing ample "ammunition" for future strategic investments. The asset‑liability ratio was only 1.51%, reflecting minimal leverage and a very solid financial foundation.In terms of operational efficiency, revenue per employee jumped from RMB 1.22 million in 2024 to RMB 2.87 million, an increase of 135.25%, effectively doubling workforce productivity. Customer ARPU also increased from RMB 2.72 million to RMB 5.59 million, up 105.04% year‑on‑year, demonstrating a growing ability to deepen value from each client. Based on these metrics, Guotai Haitong Securities expects the company to achieve full‑year profitability in 2026.Token‑Based Pricing: From Selling Tools to Value SharingWith the arrival of the token era, the role of tokens is undergoing a fundamental shift – they are no longer simply a unit of compute consumption but have become a direct carrier of business value. Xunce's core capability lies in providing vertical AI solutions that act as an "external brain" for general‑purpose large models, ensuring that every token consumed generates a measurable business return.Xunce's solutions are deeply embedded in clients' private clouds and on‑premises systems, acting as a "data hub." Token‑based pricing means the company's revenue is directly tied to clients' AI usage – the more clients use, the more the company earns.Building on this capability, the company is accelerating the evolution of its business model. The results announcement clearly states thatXunce is transitioning from project‑based and subscription models to token‑based pricing, evolving from a traditional tool provider into an "AI Agent enabler."According to the company, token‑based revenue accounted for 5% of total revenue in early 2026, and is expected to reach 20‑30% for the full year.From a financial perspective, this model unlocks three layers of value: first,revenue structure optimization, shifting from one‑time project delivery to recurring service revenue with significantly enhanced predictability; second,improved pricing power, as the company's revenue becomes tied to the value created for clients; and third,expanded profit margins, as project delivery becomes less dependent on headcount, creating room for margin expansion.NVIDIA's "Token Factory Economics" framework is validating this trend at the industry level: competition in the AI inference phase is shifting from "who has more compute" to "who can generate greater business value from each token." Xunce, with its deep expertise in processing high‑quality data across vertical industries, is perfectly positioned at this critical juncture.Strategic Depth: From Asset Management to Robotics and Commercial AerospaceXunce started in the asset management industry – one of the most demanding sectors in terms of data real‑time requirements and regulatory compliance – where it holds the largest market share, covering the top 10 asset management institutions in China. It was precisely in this high‑concurrency, low‑latency, strong‑consistency environment that Xunce built its full‑stack AI Data Agent technology system, covering everything from data acquisition, cleaning, and standardization to real‑time computation and large model tuning, establishing a core technological moat in millisecond‑level real‑time data processing.In 2025, the company accelerated the replication of this capability across other industries, including telecommunications, power, energy, urban operations, high‑end manufacturing, and healthcare. The share of revenue from non‑asset management businesses increased further from 61.3% in 2024 to 79.6%, reflecting a more diversified business mix. By year‑end, the company had developed over 300 data modules, enabling rapid adaptation to different industry needs through modular combinations and significantly reducing the marginal cost of cross‑industry expansion.More forward‑looking is the company's expansion into two frontier areas: robotics data platforms and commercial aerospace. These scenarios, which demand extreme real‑time performance and reliability, serve both as a testing ground for technical capabilities and as an early entry into high‑growth future markets. In addition, the company plans to steadily advance its global expansion and actively establish strategic partnerships with leading domestic and international compute providers and algorithm companies, building an integrated ecosystem that coordinates compute, algorithms, and data.Valuation Undervaluation: Value Discovery for a Token Stock in Hong KongIn March 2026, Xunce Technology was officially included in the Hang Seng Composite Index. Once it becomes eligible for the Stock Connect program, liquidity is expected to improve significantly. Currently, the company's PS ratio is about 40x, as the token‑based business model accelerates, the company's valuation offers significant room for upside, with the potential to align with large model companies such as Minimax and Zhipu.Against the backdrop of the 15th Five‑Year Plan, which explicitly calls for "building a new form of intelligent economy" and deepening "AI+," demand for real‑time data infrastructure in the AI inference era is only just beginning. Xunce has demonstrated the explosive potential of growth through its revenue doubling, validated the sustainability of its model through its second‑half profitability, and opened up a new valuation narrative in the token economy through its upgrade to token‑based pricing.27/03/2026 Dissemination of a Financial Press Release, transmitted by EQS News.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.Media archive at www.todayir.com

56% YoY Revenue Surge to RMB 171 Billion: Huaqin’s Platform Expansion in the Age of AI
On the evening of March 23, Huaqin Technology Co., Ltd. (“Huaqin” or the “Company”) released a striking 2025 annual performance report.The Company achieved full-year operating revenue of RMB 171.437 billion, up 56.02% year on year; net profit attributable to parent company shareholders reached RMB 4.054 billion, rising 38.55% year on year; and non-GAAP net profit attributable to parent company shareholders stood at RMB 3.244 billion, up 38.30% year on year. Meanwhile, the Company proposed a cash dividend of RMB 12 per 10 shares.Against a backdrop of intensifying market competition and volatile raw material costs, the growth of such magnitude from a large-cap player has immediately captured market attention.Yet focusing solely on these headline figures risks overlooking the truly meaningful takeaways from this annual report.I. Strategy Enters Realization Phase, Second Growth Engine AcceleratesOn top of its already large revenue base, the Company still delivered 56.02% year-on-year growth, pushing annual revenue to RMB 171.437 billion and solidifying its leading position among A-share listed firms. More importantly, Huaqin’s management provided an anchor-setting medium-to-long-term guidance at the performance briefing. The Company expects 2026 revenue to exceed RMB 200 billion and clearly targets RMB 300 billion in total revenue by 2028–2029 under its "3+N+3" structure.Relative to its current RMB 170 billion scale, this target implies the Company will sustain mid-teens growth over the next 3–4 years, rather than entering the steady-state phase typical of traditional manufacturing.The sustained robust growth stems not from a passive recovery driven by a single sector rebound, but from the combined effects of expanding platform capabilities, upgraded customer structure, and mass shipment of multiple product lines.Specifically, the growth curve built around the "3+N+3" strategy — three mature business ecosystems (smartphones, laptops, data centers) plus three strategic new businesses (auto electronics, robotics, software) — has evolved from blueprint to tangible financial results, demonstrating diversified and high-value-added growth traits.1. Diversified Growth DriversTraditional ODM players usually rely heavily on the prosperity of a single category, especially the smartphone cycle. However, Huaqin’s 2025 growth showed clear diversification. The revenue of its basic mobile terminal business increased by 57.17% year-on-year, while the revenue of its computing and data business (PC + data center) increased by 51.93% year-on-year. The more impressive innovative business (mainly covering automotive electronics, robotics, etc.) achieved a year-on-year growth of 121.00%, with a revenue scale of RMB 3.48 billion.2. Business Mix Shifts Toward Higher ValueWhile mobile terminals remain the largest revenue contributor, the computing & data business — centered on data centers — now accounts for 44% of total revenue, becoming a second pillar nearly on par with mobile terminals.According to the annual report, the Company’s data center business saw sharp growth in shipments across all product lines, and it maintained a leading market share in AI servers. China Post Securities noted that Huaqin has become a core supplier to the top three global CSP (communication service providers) customers.This means the Company’s business portfolio is gaining higher value mix and strategic industry position: it has shifted from a pure consumer electronics player to a dual-engine growth model driven by consumer electronics + computing infrastructure, positioning itself in the high-certainty, high-growth computing infrastructure sector that underpins the digital future.3.New Businesses Gain Meaningful Scale & ContributionThe annual report explicitly defines robotics as a key second growth curve.The innovative business segment — robotics, auto electronics and software — posted the fastest growth among the Company’s four divisions at 121.00% year on year in 2025. Auto electronics revenue exceeded RMB 1 billion in 2025, with a target of RMB 10 billion in revenue over the next 3–5 years. Software business began contributing meaningful revenue and profit. Data collection robots entered mass production and delivery; nearly 1 million units of home cleaning robots were shipped in 2025, with a doubling of shipments expected in 2026.Notably, the Company’s operating cash flow (OCF) improved markedly in the second half of 2025. After a net outflow of RMB 1.522 billion in H1, the full-year net outflow narrowed sharply to RMB 223 million, implying a net inflow of approximately RMB 1.299 billion in H2 — a decisive reversal from the first half.This signal suggests that upfront capital expenditures (CAPEX) on procurement and inventory for business expansion has started translating into effective cash collections from customers and healthy operational quality, indicating the Company is entering a harvest phase of sustained free cash flow generation.II. Platform Capabilities Extend Outward, Tech-driven Competitive Advantage Reshapes Business LogicFor a long time, limited market perception of ODM firms to their manufacturing capabilities: supply chain management, cost control, mass production, project delivery — all important, and all part of Huaqin’s foundational competitiveness.Yet viewing Huaqin merely as a hardware assembler or contract manufacturer can no longer explain its simultaneous expansion across vastly different product categories, nor its stronger positioning than many traditional ODMs in the AI hardware wave.The core logic lies in long-term invested technical capabilities moving from a back-office support system to the forefront, translating into significant commercial leverage.Unlike traditional manufacturing ODMs, Huaqin is a hardware company with strong software capabilities — rooted in its founding team’s software background and sustained investments in AI software, visual recognition and related fields. In the AI era, on-device inference and multimodal interaction have become mainstream; underlying software and system optimization directly define a hardware product’s performance ceiling and user experience. This software-hardware integration capability forms Huaqin’s core competitive differentiation.As this capability extends outward, it rapidly builds competitive barriers in new sectors.In terms of data center business, Huaqin is one of the few industry players with full-stack design capabilities across computing nodes, network nodes and liquid cooling. It leads in core technologies such as whole-machine architecture, high-speed interconnectivity and liquid cooling. Meanwhile, it has built an open and compatible ecosystem fully supporting mainstream global GPUs (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel) and domestic computing platforms.Management disclosed at the performance briefing that data center revenue is projected to grow 30%–50% in 2026, with AI servers accounting for over 70% of the mix. Switch revenue is set to double again, and “hyper-node products will enter mass production and delivery in H2 2026”.Moreover, backed by technical accumulation from its large consumer electronics hardware platform, strong computing support from AI PCs and servers, and massive test data and application scenarios from its global manufacturing footprint, Huaqin has advanced rapidly in robotics.During the reporting period, the Company established an independent robotics subsidiary Yiren Intelligent Robotics and assembled a dedicated R&D team, aiming to become a leading full-stack robotic solutions provider for the 3C manufacturing sector.With rich global manufacturing scenarios and data reserves, the Company is currently focused on industrial wheeled robots that boost production efficiency. It delivered data collection robots at scale in 2025 and expanded customer coverage in home cleaning robots. Management noted that cleaning robot shipments reached the 1-million-unit level, with doubling growth expected in 2026. The Company is also developing humanoid robots: it completed debugging of its first self-developed biped robot and plans a second generation based on NVIDIA’s Thor platform.Additionally, Huaqin provides mass manufacturing services to multiple robotics firms, expanding capacity and delivery capabilities to refine its robotics ecosystem.In intelligent driving business, Huaqin has built full-stack automotive-grade R&D capabilities covering hardware, software, HMI and testing, alongside a specialized and large-scale automotive-grade manufacturing center. It has achieved key breakthroughs and mass delivery across core product lines including intelligent cabin, ADAS, body domain and display systems, and forged deep partnerships with numerous traditional automakers, new energy vehicle makers and overseas clients.Management expects this business to double again in 2026, targeting RMB 10 billion in revenue and profitability over the next 3–5 years.In AI hardware business, the Company offers comprehensive coverage of high-growth edge AI device categories: AI phones, AI PCs, smart wearables and XR devices.Across data centers, robotics, auto electronics and AI hardware, a clear path emerges: Huaqin is not entering unrelated new industries — it is repeatedly deploying the same core capability system.This may well be the real reason Huaqin can keep expanding its business scope amid the current AI wave.26/03/2026 Dissemination of a Financial Press Release, transmitted by EQS News.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.Media archive at www.todayir.com

SwissChain Holding Digitizes Participation Certificates on Blockchain Infrastructure
Geneva, Switzerland - March 23, 2026 - (SeaPRwire) - SwissChain Holding SA, a Geneva-based holding company, announced that it has digitized its participation certificates (“Bons de participation”) by recording and transferring ownership on blockchain infrastructure. The initiative applies distributed ledger technology to a traditional Swiss corporate instrument while maintaining established shareholder protections and corporate governance standards.Implemented within the framework of Switzerland’s Distributed Ledger Technology Act (DLT Act / Lex DLT), the tokenized participation certificates retain full legal enforceability under Swiss law. The digital structure is designed to enhance the precision of ownership records, streamline settlement processes, and strengthen overall corporate recordkeeping without altering the underlying principles of Swiss corporate law.SwissChain oversees a network of specialized subsidiaries across key areas of digital finance. While individual subsidiaries are not named, their activities include trading and market-access infrastructure, licensed third-party custody, corporate treasury operations, and technology integration. This model ensures that the tokenized certificates are supported by functional, scalable infrastructure rather than conceptual models.The company also highlighted its Digital Assets Treasury (DAT) as part of its treasury strategy, with less than half of net proceeds allocated to established digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The DAT is not a fund, not an investment product, and not a trading operation. Its purpose is long-term balance-sheet diversification carried out within Swiss accounting standards.SwissChain’s tokenization initiative forms part of a broader movement within Switzerland to integrate blockchain infrastructure into traditional corporate processes. The DLT Act provides companies with a clear legal basis for issuing equity in digital form, allowing administrative functions to modernize without altering the underlying structure of Swiss corporate law.A representative for SwissChain noted that the company’s approach reflects Switzerland’s commitment to combining corporate law with technological innovation in a manner consistent with institutional expectations and regulatory clarity.For institutional inquiries, contact SwissChain Holding SA.About SwissChain Holding SASwissChain Holding SA is a Swiss holding company that supervises a network of subsidiaries across digital-asset infrastructure.Media ContactBrand: SwissChain Holding SAContact: Media teamEmail: contact@swisschainholding.chWebsite: https://www.swisschainholding.ch/23/03/2026 Dissemination of a Financial Press Release, transmitted by EQS News.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.Media archive at www.todayir.com

Xunce Technology 3317.HK: Why is Vertical Data the Token 'Efficiency Booster' in the AI Inference Era?
Recently, while NVIDIA's GTC 2026 conference mapped out the "Trillion Token Factory" blueprint, a deeper question is fermenting: When the whole world is busy producing Tokens, who guarantees these Tokens burn worthily?Jensen Huang released a key signal: in the deep-water area where AI moves from training to inference, the golden mineral of data centers is shifting from traditional databases processing structured data to AI engines processing unstructured data. Pure computing power stacking is giving way to "data refining" to become effective Tokens.Xunce Technology, this company deeply cultivating real-time data infrastructure construction and analysis for many years, is redefining the input-output ratio of Token investment in the AI era through vertical industry data as "Token efficiency boosters."From "Training" to "Inference": The Game Rules Have ChangedThe evolution of AI has entered a new stage. In the previous two years, everyone competed on training—whoever had more GPUs could refine larger models. But today, the protagonist has become inference. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang repeatedly emphasized in his GTC speech that future AI must be able to "infer"—able to reflect, able to think, able to plan.This means AI is no longer just generating content based on prompts, but must, like humans, deconstruct problems, deduce paths, and make decisions.But the problem follows: in the inference stage, AI's consumption of Tokens rises exponentially, but the requirement for result quality no longer depends on Tokens themselves, but on effective Tokens.The "Brute Force Dilemma" of General AI: Trading Computing Power for PrecisionCurrent general-purpose AI, when improving inference precision, universally adopts the strategy of trading computing power for precision—popularly speaking, using brute force to "gamble" on results.Typical inference large models, in order to select the optimal solution from multiple possibilities, often pre-generate several candidate options, then score them one by one, finally picking the one with the highest score as the answer. This mechanism sounds rigorous, but the cost is: every step of inference must take several more "detours."The bigger problem is that inference itself carries the risk of failure. Once the inference chain breaks midway, or the finally selected answer is judged unqualified, the massive amount of Tokens invested earlier will be voided—no reusable value, or "residual value" that can be recovered.This is a common challenge of general AI frameworks: When facing complex tasks, Token consumption rises linearly, while effects often hover in a downward channel.The Solution of Vertical AI: Installing an "External Brain" for Large Models with DataThe answer Xunce gives is to do "subtraction."The core of vertical AI solutions is using industry data to provide an "external brain" for large models. The function of this external brain is to use business models to optimize inference paths, helping large models in advance judge which paths are passable and which are dead ends.This mechanism is called "workflow model guided inference." Its operating logic is: before Tokens begin large-scale consumption, first have vertical industry business models do a round of "feasibility pre-judgment" based on many years of accumulated high-quality, high-net-worth, scenario-based vertical industry data. Xunce is equivalent to drawing an "avoid-pit map" for large models.The value of this map lies in: It makes AI take fewer detours, or even no detours. When general AI still relies on "trial and error" to approach correct answers, Xunce's users have already directly stood on the cornerstone of high-purity data, using less Token consumption to exchange for higher-precision business results.The Business Logic of "Efficiency Booster": Token Unit Price Determined by Market, Token "Effectiveness" Determined by DataToken unit price is determined by chip computing power costs and market supply-demand relationships—this point no company can control. But Token "effectiveness"—that is, the business value each unit of Token can produce—can be determined by data quality.This is precisely the core logic of the "Token efficiency booster": It is not a "producer" of Tokens, but an "amplifier" of Token value. Under the same computing power costs, high-quality data can make every Token burn more worthily; under the same Token budget, high-purity data can let users obtain higher output certainty.This means a tangible financial model change: computing power costs are becoming increasingly transparent, buying computing power is like buying electricity—prices converge, no differentiation to compete on. But data is different—data has memory, has scenarios, has compound interest effects. Data used today can still be used tomorrow; business logic precipitated today can make models smarter tomorrow.From "Measurement" to "Efficiency Boosting": The Compound Interest of Vertical Data is Being ReleasedXunce has long insisted on deep cultivation in professional Vertical Data modeling and development fields, with its R&D results embodied in technical platforms at different stages. And the popularization of generative AI technology is accelerating the release of these accumulated values.AI computing power optimization by Token flow metering is one of the important application scenarios for professional Vertical Data services. As the ecosystem evolves, Tokens will also achieve cross-application, cross-scenario universality—consumable for both computing power scheduling and optimizing vertical models and high-frequency data calls.The better users' effects in training vertical models, the less Tokens consumed, the more precise business results produced, the deeper their dependence on Xunce, and the higher the switching costs. This is not only an upgrade of the business model, but also a competitive barrier based on data compound interest.ConclusionNVIDIA used "Token Factory" to define the future of AI computing power, while Xunce Technology is using "Token efficiency booster" to redefine the value of AI data.When computing power converges and models open-source, what truly determines AI business returns will no longer be the "output volume" of computing power stacking, but the "output volume" of data refining. In the tide of the Token economy, there are many companies that can help users "save money," but the company that can make users "get more value for every penny spent" is the ultimate winner.And this, perhaps, is exactly what the capital market expects from Xunce Technology's "growth certainty."18/03/2026 Dissemination of a Financial Press Release, transmitted by EQS News.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.Media archive at www.todayir.com

NetRanks Unveils the First AI Optimisation Control Center, Ending the Era of Guesswork in GEO
Amsterdam, Netherlands - March 17, 2026 - (SeaPRwire) - NetRanks today announced the launch of its AI Optimisation Control Center, the first platform designed to measure, predict, and improve a brand's visibility inside AI-generated responses across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and emerging AI engines. The release marks a significant step toward establishing structured, data-driven methods for Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), the discipline focused on brand visibility within AI answer engines.As businesses adapt to a rapid change in how consumers find information, the need for models that quantify AI-driven visibility has grown. Recent industry data shows that classical search volume is projected to decline by 25% by 2026 as AI systems increasingly become the primary gateway for discovery. With AI platforms now synthesizing answers from a limited set of sources, brands face new challenges in understanding how and when they are mentioned.NetRanks' AI Optimisation Control Center addresses this development by combining large-scale probing, multi-engine scanning, predictive modelling, and actionable visibility improvements into one system. The platform is designed to help brands see where they appear in AI-generated answers, forecast changes in ranking, and take targeted steps to increase their AI Share-of-Voice - defined as the percentage of AI-generated answers naming a brand."Our goal was to replace assumptions with measurable signals," said NetRanks CEO and Founder Reha Sönmez. "AI engines update frequently, and traditional methods do not explain why a brand is or isn't mentioned. We built a platform that shows the underlying sources, identifies gaps, and models what happens when those gaps are filled."The system operates through continuous, model-agnostic scans of major AI engines. It analyzes citations, identifies which articles and sources influence AI-generated answers, and groups visibility opportunities by topic, product line, or market category. Its prediction engine uses historical scanning patterns to forecast potential visibility lift and rank movement before new content or campaigns are deployed.Alongside predictive modelling, the platform converts visibility insights into ranked, step-by-step actions. These tasks are prioritized by expected impact, allowing communications teams, marketing departments, and SEO specialists to allocate efforts based on data rather than trial-and-error."Many companies are aware they need to adapt to AI-driven discovery, but they do not have the tools to see what is influencing their visibility," Sönmez added. "Our platform links observations to projections and projections to action. It is designed to give teams clarity at a time when AI systems play a major role in how information surfaces."NetRanks has also confirmed that its baseline visibility feature—the core function many competitors monetize - will be made available for free. The company stated that its subscription model will focus instead on predictive capabilities, advanced modelling, optimization tasks, and visibility-to-impact connections. This structure is intended to support broad adoption while allowing organizations to scale into deeper GEO operations as needed.The launch follows months of engine refinement, cross-model testing, and early-access collaboration with agencies and B2B brands. According to the company, continuous scanning and longitudinal datasets will remain central to the platform's development, as AI systems evolve and new engines enter the market.NetRanks plans to expand its functionality over the coming months, further integrating prediction, diagnostics, and impact measurement to support teams working across communications, content strategy, advertising, and brand management.About NetRanksNetRanks is an AI visibility company that tracks, analyzes, and increases brand presence inside AI-generated answers across major AI search engines. Through continuous scanning, predictive modelling, and actionable optimization tasks, NetRanks helps organizations understand how AI systems reference their brands and how visibility changes over time. The company serves global clients across industries and is focused on building the measurement infrastructure for the AI-driven search era.Social LinksX: https://x.com/netranksaiLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/netranks/Contact InformationBrand: NetRanksContact: Reha SonmezEmail: reha@netranks.aiWebsite: https://www.netranks.ai17/03/2026 Dissemination of a Financial Press Release, transmitted by EQS News.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.Media archive at www.todayir.com

As drugs in this class have already demonstrated blockbuster potential in treating rare and serious pulmonary diseases, ICF001 is positioned to capture significant growth as it expands into new indications.Addressing Unmet Clinical Needs and Filling a Domestic Treatment GapICF001 targets two critical categories of pulmonary hypertension: WHO Group 1 pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and WHO Group 3 pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD). Both conditions are associated with poor prognosis and urgently require better treatment options.PAH: As a rare and progressive disease, PAH continues to carry a heavy disease burden. Even with current standard therapies, the 5-year survival rate remains only around 50%–60%, and median survival is approximately 4–7 years. PH-ILD: Prognosis is even more severe. Pulmonary vascular remodeling caused by interstitial lung disease results in a median survival of only 1.5–3 years, with a 3-year survival rate as low as 25%–40%, making PH-ILD a particularly challenging condition in the pulmonary hypertension field.Notably, there are currently no approved targeted therapies for PH-ILD in China. The rapid development of ICF001 positions it to potentially become the first inhaled therapy approved for this indication in China, addressing a critical therapeutic void and offering a transformative treatment option for patients worldwide.Tackling Key Industry Challenges with a Globally Differentiated Improved MechanismWhile the industry is shifting toward long-acting therapies to reduce dosing frequency, existing approaches often face challenges, including single-dose burden, local tolerability, and titration complexity, all of which can affect dose escalation and long-term patient adherence.ICF001 is designed to address these clinical pain points through precise formulation and pharmacokinetic optimization, with the goal of delivering two key breakthroughs while demonstrating multi-indication expansion potential:Enhanced patient adherence through reduced dosing frequencyBy optimizing molecular structure and formulation, ICF001 increases drug loading efficiency and improves local tolerability, reducing the overall administration burden for long-term therapy.Optimized pharmacokinetics through a “peak-shaving and trough-filling” profile, balancing safety and efficacyDelivered directly to the lungs, ICF001 is designed to blunt peak plasma concentration (Cmax) while extending drug exposure (AUC). This “peak-shaving and trough-filling” profile improves systemic tolerability and may enhance clinical efficacy while maintaining safety.“One drug, Multiple indications” StrategyExpanding beyond PAH and PH-ILD, ICF001 utilizes a mechanism of action that targets pulmonary fibroblast activation, offering dual potential in pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary fibrosis. Backed by cutting-edge global research and clinical exploration of this drug class, ICF001 is expected to emerge as a next-generation blockbuster, addressing significant unmet needs in the broader respiratory market.These differentiated advantages represent the Company’s R&D goals and strategic direction based on translational medicine models. If improvements in tolerability and titration efficiency are confirmed in subsequent clinical studies, ICF001 is expected to improve long-term treatment adherence, strengthen efficacy potential, and further expand clinical accessibility.The rapid acceptance of this IND application marks another critical milestone in the Company’s clinical development of its high-barrier respiratory pipeline. It demonstrates the Company’s solid fundamentals, forward-looking strategic positioning, and efficient execution in innovative drug R&D. Furthermore, it established a strong foundation for the Company to further penetrate the global high-value inhalation therapy market to address unmet clinical needs. The market holds high expectations for the clinical application of such improved new drugs.Validating Platform Value: Extending from Complex Formulation Capabilities to Innovative Drug TranslationThe IND acceptance of ICF001 marks a key transition for CF PHARMTECH, INC.’s inhaled innovative drug program enters the regulatory phase. This progress represents a strategic breakthrough with long-term sustainable development potential: Strategic Dimension Implication Validation of platform translation capability The Company has integrated complex formulations, delivery systems, device engineering, and unmet clinical needs, demonstrating its capability to advance innovative drug programs.

Waton Financial Limited Partners with Tsinghua University to Establish AI and Fintech Joint Lab
On March 11, Waton Financial Limited, a NASDAQ-listed fintech company, announced a partnership with X-Tech, an enterprise affiliate with Tsinghua University's Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences (IIIS), and the AI technology company PandaAI. The three parties will jointly establish the "AI and Fintech Joint Lab" to explore the application of AI Agents in real-world trading scenarios.From "Tool" to "Partner": How AI is Redefining Financial Decision-MakingTraditional AI applications have mostly functioned as "assistive tools"—capable of answering questions, providing data, and generating reports, but the ultimate decision-making and execution still require humans. AI Agents lead a qualitative leap: their form is no longer confined to programs that passively respond to commands, but rather as "agents" equipped with the capabilities of goal comprehension, autonomous planning, dynamic execution, and closed-loop task completion.In financial scenarios, autonomously trading AI Agents must not only read candlestick charts, understand financial reports, and read news, but also understand the correlation between macroeconomic factors, market sentiment, capital flows, and even geopolitical factors and the financial markets. They are expected to become experienced traders, independently completing the entire closed-loop process from analysis, research, and judgment to execution in a rapidly changing market.Waton Financial's collaboration with Tsinghua will be dedicated to equipping AI Agents with multi-dimensional analytical capabilities and autonomous trade execution capabilities, including: real-time parsing of macroeconomic data and policy trends; integrating news sentiment and social media public opinion; scanning the fundamentals and technicals of thousands of stocks; and automatically generating trading strategies with back-testing validation. Ultimately, AI Agents will not only be able to explain the basis of their decisions to users but also execute trading commands.The joint lab will be spearheaded by Professor Li Jian from Tsinghua IIIS. As a top scholar in AI for trading, Professor Li will lead the team in providing cutting-edge algorithmic research support; PandaAI will contribute new approaches in AI inspired by quantum ideas; and Waton Financial will utilize its secured trading systems and real financial operations to provide critical data and implementation channels for the training and validation of autonomously trading AI Agents. As a NASDAQ-listed company, Waton Financial’s trading system has undergone multiple security validations.AI Democratizes Investment Tools: Quant Trading Beyond InstitutionsFor a long time, quantitative trading and AI investment strategies have been the "patent" of institutional investors. Armed with massive research teams, expensive alternative data, and scarce computing resources, through models, they can capture potential opportunities amid market fluctuations. Individual investors, on the other hand, often have to rely on fragmented information and limited analytical tools, placing them at a disadvantage in this "algorithmic war".Waton Financial aims to use autonomously trading AI Agents to break this paradigm. These AI Agents, equipped with autonomous trading capabilities, are expected to help users issue investment commands using natural language without any background in programming or quantitative knowledge. Subsequent key steps, such as macroeconomic analysis, industry comparisons, stock screening, and trade execution, are all completed autonomously by the AI Agents. The significance of this research lies in enabling individual investors to access research and investment capabilities comparable to those of institutional quantitative trading teams. Furthermore, the joint lab will focus on researching the application of AI Agents in real-time risk control and compliance checks, ensuring the safety and stability of the smart trading system in complex market environments.ZHOU Kai, Chairman of the Board of Waton Financial Limited, stated: "This partnership will strengthen our technology offerings and help both individual and professional investors in the growing field of AI-driven finance by enabling AI Agents to truly understand the underlying logic of market operations and helping users around the world make smarter, more timely, and safer decisions."The Future Landscape: Everyone Has Their Own "Quantitative Trader"The global capital market is undergoing a profound paradigm shift. In the past, barriers of information and technology kept the majority out; today, autonomously trading AI Agents are handing the keys to "smart finance" to everyone. The global capital market is ushering in a new stage of technological democratization, and AI is bringing professional investment tools within reach of more ordinary people. Imagine: users simply need to say to the AI Agents "I want to allocate some low-volatility tech stocks with a budget of $20,000 and hold them for 6 months," and the AI Agents can automatically screen eligible targets, assess current valuation levels, generate portfolio recommendations, execute trades upon user authorization, and continuously monitor portfolio risks.Waton Financial's collaboration with Tsinghua to build autonomously trading AI Agents is not only seeking a technological breakthrough but also making a statement: the future of finance should not be an exclusive game for institutions. As AI Agents step out of walled gardens and smart trading integrates into daily life, every ordinary person will have the opportunity to understand and participate in the most complex markets of our time in unprecedented ways.Disclaimer: All investments carry risks, and AI models do not guarantee absolute profitability.12/03/2026 Dissemination of a Financial Press Release, transmitted by EQS News.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.Media archive at www.todayir.com
