标普稳定评级支持复星全球化及创新发展

香港, 2024年10月23日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 在"普涨"之后,港股市场迎来在当前位置的震荡消化,以结构性行情为主,等待更多催化剂。在此背景下,投资者更要关注港股具有优势的结构性机会,即便市场出现波动,也更具有韧性。比如,兼具创新能力和全球化能力,业绩与估值持续兑现的复星国际(00656)值得高看一线。复星国际是少有的植根中国、能在全球布局营运的龙头企业。自1992年创立以来,复星国际已在全球超35个国家和地区拥有产业布局,全球化深度营运能力不断提升,如今已成为一家创新驱动的全球家庭消费产业集团。创新能力持续深化,全球营运能力强兑现复星国际全球化能力的锤炼,一方面来源于创新产品的持续输出,另一方面则在于全球营运能力的不断精进。产品方面,生物类似药-汉曲优为复星国际的出海起到了"先锋"的作用。汉曲优凭借的对外授权覆盖约100个国家和地区,在48个国家和地区获批上市,成为获批上市国家和地区最多的国产生物类似药。有了生物类似药的出海铺路,不仅复宏汉霖在国际上打响名堂,还积累了创新药全球化的经验。复宏汉霖自主研发的全球首个获批一线治疗小细胞肺癌的抗PD-1单抗汉斯状,便是重要的代表。至此,复星的生物药出海,实现了创新药、生物类似药并驾齐驱的新局面。2023年复宏汉霖成为同行企业中第一个靠产品销售盈利的创新药企。营运方面,复星国际透过组织进化,整合全球资源,根据不同国家和地区的禀赋,实现深度产业布局和属地化经营,让旗下产业、品牌不断从中受益。比如旅游领域,复星旅文以其独特的轻资产营运模式、全球化布局及全球化营运实现业绩亮眼增长。复星旅文Club Med地中海俱乐部在全球营运67家度假村,2024年上半年营业额再创新高,达人民币88.9亿元,同比增长10.3%。其中,欧非中东及美洲区持续增长,亚太区复苏显著。2024年5月,Club Med在阿曼签约中东首个度假村。值得关注的是,在国内市场,同时具备轻资产模式与全球化营运能力的旅游企业极为稀缺,复星旅文为中国旅游业的发展树立标竿。同时,在消费和保险等领域,复星国际也透过不断创新和优化,为中国经济的增长和产业升级做出了积极贡献。随著"产品+营运"的持续加码,复星国际的全球化能力逐步兑现,创新能力持续深化。在旅游、消费、医药、保险等核心产业赛道的优势提升显著,获得市场广泛看好。标普确认复星国际"稳定"评级,信用指标稳中向好近期,复星国际在国际投资市场再获肯定。10月21日,标普发布报告,肯定复星国际资产处置降债的成绩,并给予稳定展望。具体来看,标普认可复星国际负债结构的优化,银行贷款在总负债中的占比,从2022年中的46%,上升到目前的73%。2024年9月完成的境外银团规模达到了8.88亿美元,较再融资的5月到期银团在银行参与度以及金额均有所提升。标普认为这是复星在国际银团融资环境本质性改善的最佳证明。畅通的融资管道背后反映出国内外金融机构对复星资金面和业务策略的信心,不仅进一步降低了复星对公开市场融资的依赖度,持续优化的债务结构也能更好地支持后续的流动性管理和更灵活地把握后续资产处置的进度。对此,标普预期复星集团非核心资产退出驱动降债的策略将继续。标普的积极评价,一方面印证了复星国际在全球化能力与创新能力的强有力兑现,近两年资产负债表的明显修复、财务稳健性不断增强;另一方面也为公司的投资价值提供了强有力的背书。综上,随著中国经济预期转好,尤其是相关重磅政策规划落地,港股后市仍有较大发展空间。复星国际受益于全球化布局、整合式创新及轻资产营运策略,业绩确定性增加、财务稳健抗风险能力提升。后续随著全球化业务持续增长、行业领先优势不断扩大,以及科技创新红利加速兑现,有望乘著港股新一轮行情表现,率先开启新的增长周期。 Copyright 2024 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

Fujitsu to offer AI agents that can both collaborate and engage in high-level tasks autonomously

TOKYO, Oct 23, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu today announced the global launch of its Fujitsu Kozuchi AI Agent, an AI service that can engage in high-level tasks both autonomously and in collaboration with humans. This service will be offered through Fujitsu Data Intelligence PaaS, Fujitsu’s all-in-one operation platform that is part of the Fujitsu Uvance business model which works to provide cross-industry solutions to societal issues. As of today, Fujitsu will offer the first AI agent, for use in business profitability discussions and business negotiations to share appropriate information and propose measures. Fujitsu plans to eventually expand its AI agent lineup to include services in production management and legal affairs, and other areas, and will implement a broader roll-out of the service during fiscal 2024. In addition, Fujitsu will incorporate Fujitsu Kozuchi AI Agent into its digital offerings, including Fujitsu Uvance’s Work Life Shift.Building generative AI models for business applications requires a significant investment of time and money as well as a high level of expertise and there is no guarantee that a single AI model can deliver the desired results.To solve this issue, Fujitsu has developed the Fujitsu Kozuchi AI Agent. This AI can think autonomously and function as a full team member, making proactive suggestions that can lead to new insights and inspire creativity.The Fujitsu Kozuchi AI Agent uses Fujitsu’s proprietary processing logic to break down abstract issues from conversations and generate discrete tasks. The agent creates a plan to complete the tasks and selects multiple optimal AIs to implement. Models available include those developed by Fujitsu, such as Takane, a large-scale language model for enterprises with the world’s best Japanese language capability and significant customization options, Fujitsu Kozuchi AutoML, which generates advanced machine learning models in a short amount of time, as well as various models from other companies. The Fujitsu Kozuchi AI Agent provides instructions to each of the AI models and provides a solution based on the feedback.For example, the AI agent for use in business meetings will autonomously participate in necessary meetings. To give an example situation, if one of the meeting participants were to state that sales revenue in the Asia Region was half of what it had been the previous year, the AI agent would select several AI and direct them to perform an analysis based on this statement. Then, as a result, the AI agent would autonomously present a clear answer, for example stating that “I will show the amount of sales revenue from April through September in the previous and current fiscal years as a bar graph. As shown in the graph, sales revenue in other regions is the same or slightly up from the previous fiscal year, and only sales revenue in the Asia Region is down. It has decreased by 54% compared to the previous fiscal year.” In this manner, Fujitsu Kozuchi AI Agent will support the smooth progression of meetings and will contribute to increased productivity.Fujitsu will promote the use of AI agents in a wide range of business operations to further improve the efficiency of customers' businesses, and work to achieve a world in which customers can easily benefit from business transformation via generative AI.About FujitsuFujitsu’s purpose is to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation. As the digital transformation partner of choice for customers in over 100 countries, our 124,000 employees work to resolve some of the greatest challenges facing humanity. Our range of services and solutions draw on five key technologies: Computing, Networks, AI, Data & Security, and Converging Technologies, which we bring together to deliver sustainability transformation. Fujitsu Limited (TSE:6702) reported consolidated revenues of 3.7 trillion yen (US$26 billion) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 and remains the top digital services company in Japan by market share.

(SeaPRwire) -   布鲁塞尔官员告诉《政治报》,如果这位共和党人将在第二任期内以惩罚性措施为目标,他们准备“强力反击”。 《政治报》周一报道称,如果唐纳德·特朗普赢得11月的美国总统大选,并对欧洲建立新的贸易壁垒,欧盟将准备迎接与特朗普的全面贸易战,该报道援引了高级外交官和欧盟官员的话。 自从前美国总统承诺在第二任期内以一系列新的惩罚性贸易措施为目标,以解决他所说的进口和出口严重失衡的问题以来,欧盟各国的担忧正在加剧,该报称。 自特朗普在2018年担任总统的第一任期内对欧洲钢铁进口征收25%的关税,对铝进口征收10%的关税以来,华盛顿和布鲁塞尔一直在该问题上发生争执,他认为欧盟的竞争正在危及美国国家安全。 欧盟进行了适度报复,对包括哈雷戴维森公司生产的摩托车和李维斯公司生产的牛仔裤在内的公司征收关税。然而,特朗普更进一步,威胁要对欧盟汽车出口征收关税。尽管关税从未生效,但布鲁塞尔对特朗普重组供应链的意愿“感到震惊”。 “上次我们不相信特朗普会走多远,”一位外交官告诉《政治报》。“这次我们已经有了准备时间。欧洲已经发生了很大变化,我们将准备采取行动。” 特朗普此前曾表示,他可能还会对欧盟数字服务税采取反措施,这些税收隐含地针对美国科技巨头。 “我们的盟友利用了我们。比我们的敌人更甚,”特朗普上周在接受彭博新闻社主编约翰·米克莱斯韦特采访时说。“我们的盟友是欧盟。我们与欧盟的贸易逆差为3000亿美元。” 欧盟正在准备对特朗普可能获胜进行协调的影响评估,欧洲委员会负责监督这一过程,并决心报复并“强力反击”,一位外交官告诉《政治报》。据另一位外交官说,欧盟相信自己能够“赢得这场贸易战”。 该报道称,欧盟的目标是在报复中采取积极进取的态度,因为特朗普将贸易和关税作为谈判策略,迫使各国为美国利益行事。 在集会上,特朗普誓言对来自其他国家的进口商品征收10%的基本关税。“对我来说,字典中最美丽的词是‘关税’,”他说。“这是我最喜欢的词。” 上周,他还将矛头指向德国汽车生产商,承诺对进口汽车征收高额关税。据特朗普说,针对欧盟产业的这种关税将迫使欧盟的生产商将其工厂搬迁到美国,从而提升美国的长期全球制造地位。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。  

Li Ning Partners with HongShan to Establish a Joint Venture

HONG KONG, Oct 22, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Li Ning Company Limited (“Li Ning” or the “Company”; together with the subsidiaries, the “Group”; stock codes: 2331 (HKD counter) and 82331 (RMB counter)) announces today that LN Co, being an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Subscription and Shareholders’ Agreement with Founder Co, HongShan Venture, HongShan Motivation and the JV Company in relation to the formation of the JV Company in the British Virgin Islands and subscription of JV Shares by each of the JV Parties. The purpose of the JV Group shall be to develop and operate the Li Ning Brand business (including the sale of products carrying Li Ning Brand) in the Territory on an exclusive basis.Immediately following Completion, the total share capital of the JV Company shall be HK$200 million, of which the LN Co, Founder Co, HongShan Venture and HongShan Motivaton shall contribute HK$58,000,000, HK$52,000,000, HK$62,728,000 and HK$27,272,000 in cash respectively, accounting for 29%, 26%, 31.36% and 13.64% of the total share capital of the JV Company respectively.The Group has been adopting the core strategy of “Single Brand, Multiple Categories, and Diversified Channels” to leverage its competitive advantages in the industry, and has achieved impressive results in the highly competitive Mainland China market. Having said that, the development of overseas markets, especially in the Belt and Road regions, is also part of the Group’s long-term development strategy. At the same time, the Group is aware of the uncertainties in the overseas markets. The business models in the overseas market also differ substantially from the models in the Mainland China market. The Group has considered that expanding into international markets requires collaboration with a partner which possesses extensive multinational resources. This requires the establishment of a new framework with an independent team, rich in overseas resources and experience, to take responsibilities of developing the international business operations with clear business and financial objectives.HongShan has accumulated extensive investment experience since its establishment in 2005. It has a strong team of professional investors with deep industry insights and cross-border investment networks that may provide resources and services to portfolio companies, deploy key resources to enterprises that engage in transnational businesses during their development stage, and provide them with services such as business empowerment, talent development, digitalisation support and media management.The formation of the JV Company leverages on the appeal of the Company’s founder, Mr. Li, to provide leadership in the positioning and direction of the Li Ning Brand’s development in the Territory. Moreover, the Company and Mr. Li together will hold 55% of the JV Shares, enabling the Company to effectively safeguard the reputation of the Li Ning Brand and to maintain sufficient influence over the JV Group. On the other hand, by bringing in HongShan, the JV Group may enjoy HongShan’s transnational resources and business experience which are expected to help the JV Group to accelerate its development effectively. In this joint venture, LN Co has the option to acquire all the JV Shares from HongShan Co in the future (subject to compliance with the relevant Listing Rules requirements), so as to realise the Company’s control over the JV Company.The JV Parties can complement each other’s strengths and leverage on their respective reputations, brands, channels, talents and other resources in this joint venture, in order to empower the JV Group to be competitive and flexible in its business operations, and be more effective in risk management of the markets in the Territory. In the short term, the Company will prioritise its operations in Mainland China market to further increase the market share of its core business and to enhance the competitiveness of its brands in the key business segments.

Autobrains Unveils Skills Product Line, Redefining Autonomous Driving With Scalable and Modular AI Solutions

MUNICH, GERMANY & TEL AVIV, ISRAEL, Oct 22, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Autobrains, a leading innovator in automotive artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), is proud to announce the launch of its groundbreaking product line, Skills, powered by its proprietary Liquid AI technology.Autobrains Unveils Skills Product LineEach Skill, End-to-End AI, is optimized for a specific driving scenario.The Skills product line represents a significant leap in autonomous driving technology, offering modular, scalable solutions that effectively address edge cases while reducing computational requirements compared to existing approaches.As the automotive industry accelerates toward full autonomy, Autobrains' new approach tackles the key limitations of traditional AI models by introducing a flexible and adaptive solution. While current end-to-end systems rely on a single, large neural network, or complex, resource-heavy compound systems, Autobrains' Skills solution delivers superior adaptability and efficiency."Our Skills product line represents a paradigm shift in autonomous driving," said Igal Raichelgauz, Founder and CEO of Autobrains. "With Skills, we offer a flexible, scalable AI solution that can be deployed incrementally, starting with ADAS and extending toward full autonomy. Unlike other approaches, our system's adaptability ensures that as new edge cases emerge, the required resources increase only logarithmically, providing a significant improvement over demands seen with other approaches."Existing autonomous driving solutions face substantial challenges in handling edge cases, which demand new, more adaptive AI technologies. Compound architectures, like those employed by Mobileye, divide tasks into separate modules, resulting in an information bottleneck. Monolithic end-to-end systems like Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) suite face issues with explainability, transparency, and efficiency in adapting to new scenarios.Autobrains' Skills architecture addresses these issues by decomposing autonomous driving into a collection of smaller, context-specific AI models - referred to as "Skills"-each trained and deployed independently. These Skills are activated dynamically based on the driving situation, optimizing performance and significantly reducing computational power demands.Key advantages of the Autobrains' Skills product line include:Optimized for Edge Cases: Each Skill is optimized to handle specific driving scenarios, leading to superior performance in edge cases.Scalability: The Skills architecture can expand from tens of skills for ADAS applications to hundreds of thousands for full autonomy.Adaptability: Skills are activated only when relevant, minimizing power consumption.Logarithmic Resource Growth: Unlike models that require exponentially more resources as they scale, the Skills architecture allows for more efficient, logarithmic resource expansion.Enhanced Safety: By focusing on specific edge cases, Skills provide precise, targeted responses, enhancing overall system safety.Autobrains is actively collaborating with major OEMs worldwide, testing and implementing the Skills product line to transform the future of autonomy. This cutting-edge AI architecture is poised to lower costs, improve safety, and drive the next wave of smarter, more efficient autonomous driving systems.For more information about Autobrains and its Skills technology, please visit www.autobrains.ai.Contact InformationSophia EichlerDirector of Marketingmedia@autobrains.ai+49 15167066494SOURCE: Autobrains Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
