Founders Metals Upgrades Lower Antino to Advanced Target; Hits 65.9 m of 1.16 g/t Gold

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - March 12, 2026) - Founders Metals Inc. (TSXV: FDR) (OTCQX: FDMIF) (FSE: 9DL0) ("Founders" or the "Company") announces that Lower Antino has been upgraded from Intermediate to Advanced Target status - the same internal classification* as Upper Antino - at its Antino Gold Project in southeastern Suriname (Figure 1). The upgrade follows cumulative drilling of 50 diamond drill holes including eight new holes reported here that continue to demonstrate broad, continuous gold mineralization, highlighted by 65.9 metres (m) of 1.16 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) within a broader envelope of 115.0 m of 0.83 g/t Au from surface in drill hole LA046.HighlightsLower Antino upgraded to Advanced Target status with 50 drill holes released to date with an additional 10 holes pending assays and further expansion drilling underwayBest intercept to date: 65.9 m of 1.16 g/t Au within 115.0 m of 0.83 g/t Au from surface (LA046)Broad mineralized envelopes confirmed: 113.5 m of 0.34 g/t Au from surface including 30.0 m of 0.82 g/t Au (LA044)Intrusion-hosted gold mineralization intersected in all eight drill holes reported in this release; mineralization remains open along strike and at depthColin Padget, President & CEO, commented, "Lower Antino's upgrade from Intermediate to an Advanced Target - now sharing the same classification as Upper Antino - reflects consistent, broad gold mineralization across a growing number of drill holes. LA046 returning 65.9 metres of 1.16 g/t gold within a 115-metre mineralized envelope is the best intercept to date at this target and underscores the scale and continuity of the Lower Antino intrusion-hosted gold system. With gold in every hole and consistently wide intercepts, Lower Antino is emerging as a meaningful contributor to the district's overall potential. While our focus remains on exploration and expansion drilling, Lower Antino's advancement to the same classification as Upper Antino means it is expected to be considered for inclusion in any future resource estimate for the district."Lower Antino - Upgraded to Advanced TargetThe Company reports assay results from eight diamond drill holes (LA043 to LA050) at the Lower Antino target, located approximately 3.5 km east of the Upper Antino deposit (Figure 1). All eight holes intersected gold mineralization, with results highlighted by 65.9 m of 1.16 g/t Au within 115.0 m of 0.83 g/t Au in LA046 (Table 1). The 115-metre intercept in LA046 begins at surface and represents an up-dip expansion of the previously released 90.0 m of 1.02 g/t Au in LA041, confirming the continuity and growth potential of the mineralized zone.Based on cumulative drilling results, Founders has upgraded Lower Antino from Intermediate Target to Advanced Target status, ranking it on the same tier as Upper Antino in terms of overall target quality and scale potential. The upgrade reflects the demonstrated continuity of gold mineralization across numerous drill sections and identification of multiple parallel, northeast-trending mineralized zones over approximately 1.9 km of drill-defined strike length within a broader 1.5 km by 2.8 km gold-in-auger anomaly.The target is open along strike and at depth with drilling ongoing to the south and southeast at regular 100 to 200 metre steps. Overall, gold mineralization remains consistent with previous Lower Antino drill results and is hosted in intensely sericite-altered, sheared tonalite with disseminated pyrite and quartz-pyrite veining. The southernmost hole in this release (LA050), intersected 24.0 m of 0.57 g/t Au and represents approximately 200 metres of southward expansion of the mineralized system. Assay results are presented in Table 1, with drill hole locations in Table 2.Lower Antino is one of two Advanced Targets within Founders' 102,360-hectare contiguous land package, which hosts eight drill tested gold targets across the 55 km long Antino concession. The upgrade of Lower Antino adds meaningful scale to the Company's growing inventory of drill-defined gold mineralization at the district level. The Company will continue to systematically advance and upgrade high-quality targets as defined by geological criteria linked to scale and growth potential.*The Company's internal target classification system reflects drill density, demonstrated continuity of mineralization, and data sufficiency; it does not correspond to NI 43-101 resource categories.Figure 1: Antino Gold Project Property MapTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7574/288304_571962fb64ca9a3d_001full.jpgFigure 2: Lower Antino Plan MapTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7574/288304_571962fb64ca9a3d_002full.jpgFigure 3: Lower Antino cross-section through central gold trend.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7574/288304_571962fb64ca9a3d_003full.jpgTable 1: Lower Antino Drill ResultsDrillholeFrom (m)To (m)Interval (m)Au (g/t)Results from This ReleaseLA043162.00174.0012.001.56incl.167.00174.007.002.56LA0441.50115.00113.500.34incl.8.1038.1030.000.82LA0450.0020.1020.100.31and111.00124.0013.000.44LA0460.00115.00115.000.83incl.41.10107.0065.901.16LA0470.008.108.100.94and149.00156.007.000.46LA0480.0027.6027.600.22and173.00178.005.000.80LA0496.6011.104.500.21LA05047.1071.1024.000.57Previously Released Highlight ResultsLA041156.00246.0090.001.02incl.176.00178.002.0028.44LA00374.10156.0081.901.00incl.106.00132.0026.002.36LA0250.00241.00241.000.27incl.0.0086.1086.100.43LA03329.1060.0030.901.56LA02472.00122.0050.001.02LA028108.00163.0055.000.64incl.110.00117.007.002.32LA0190.0065.0065.000.49incl.44.1065.0020.901.11LA01033.6057.6024.001.23 **Intervals are down-hole depths.

Unlocking the huge potential of China’s silver economy

HONG KONG, Mar 12, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – As the average age of the global population continues to rise, the Chinese Mainland is now home to the world’s largest number of seniors. Recognising this, the country’s 15th Five-Year Plan calls for proactive measures to address the challenges of an increasingly ageing population. The silver economy is set to be one of the vital engines for the mainland's next wave of economic growth.The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) has released a new consumer survey report, Chinese Mainland Silver Economy Opportunities, that details the strong spending power of the mainland’s affluent, middle-class senior consumers, as well as the vast untapped potential of this particular sector of society. With securing "happiness" and ensuring "quality" as their spending priorities, the survey shows that such consumers regard Hong Kong-made products as guaranteed to be authentic, while the city’s services sector is seen as professional and reliable. As a result, many of these consumers pronounce a willingness to pay a "Hong Kong premium".Believing that the continued expansion of the mainland's silver economy represents significant opportunities for Hong Kong businesses, Bruce Pang, HKTDC Director of Research, said: "Among other priorities, the 15th Five-Year Plan focuses on boosting domestic demand as a means of driving economic growth. Inevitably, this will create opportunities for Hong Kong companies looking to expand into the Chinese Mainland market.“By gaining a deeper understanding of the consumption patterns of mainland seniors, particularly those in the higher-spending middle-class and affluent segments, Hong Kong businesses will be able to effectively penetrate the domestic market."To gain a more in-depth understanding of the development opportunities in the country’s silver economy, HKTDC surveyed more than 2,000 middle-class/affluent senior consumers in various mainland cities last year. The broad cross-section of respondents included those in their 50s starting to plan their retirement, those entering retirement in their 60s, and the older post-retirement population (aged 70 and above). According to the survey’s findings, respondents' average monthly expenditure on daily consumer goods and services was approximately RMB7,000, rising to RMB8,000 for those in first-tier cities.Commenting on the findings of the survey, Wing Chu, the HKTDC’s Deputy Director of Research, who led the study, said: "Currently, the Chinese Mainland's silver economy is valued at about RMB7 trillion – some 6% of overall GDP. This is projected to surge to RMB30 trillion by 2035, indicating the segment’s huge development potential.“The survey also showed that more than half of such consumers had purchased Hong Kong products or services, consequently holding Hong Kong brands in particularly high regard. It was also notable that 78% of respondents were willing to pay a premium for Hong Kong-sourced products, while 84% were willing to do so in the case of the city’s services sector. Typically, respondents were willing to pay a 16.4% premium on products and 15.4% premium on services, with those in first-tier cities happy to pay an even higher percentage for many types of products and services.”Hong Kong brands enjoy stellar reputationOverall, many of the mainland’s senior consumers have a highly positive view of Hong Kong brands, with the city’s products celebrated for their quality and authenticity, and its services for their professionalism and reliability. On the product front, 61% of respondents had purchased Hong Kong products in the past year, including health foods (24%), luxury goods (18%) and beauty and personal care products (17%). In terms of future purchases, respondents expressed the greatest interest in Hong Kong health foods, leisure foods and beverages.Regarding the city’s services, 54% of senior respondents said they had utilised Hong Kong services in the past year, including beauty and personal care services (25%), travel to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan (22%) and financial and wealth management services (20%). Over the next 12 months, the most sought-after Hong Kong services were said to relate to health and wellness services, followed by beauty and personal care services.Digging deeper into the preferences of such consumers, HKTDC Economist Eric Chu said: "When choosing products and services, happiness is the priority for Chinese Mainland seniors, closely followed by value for money. With this in mind, Hong Kong businesses can leverage the silver economy by capitalising on the strong reputation and professional advantages of the city’s brands.“Specifically, they should consider expanding into the higher-spending first and second-tier cities, while targeting the younger segment of the senior population. Enhancing the offline experience and fostering word-of-mouth recommendations, alongside optimised promotional efforts, will also help Hong Kong businesses stand out in the mainland’s rapidly growing silver market.”Silver generation shaping a “blue ocean” of consumptionTaking a more in-depth look at the survey findings, 65% of respondents prioritised products or services that would enhance their leisure or bring them happiness, while 63% valued reasonable pricing and good value for money, and 62% focused more on the practicality and durability of the products or services on offer. Collectively, this indicates that mainland seniors are particularly concerned about their health and quality of life, while also valuing cost-effectiveness and functionality, marking them out as a notably mature and rational consumer group.In terms of product consumption, 23.3% of respondents most frequently purchased food and beverages, followed by home products (12.6%) and clothing (12.5%). In the case of services, 20.3% utilised body wellness services most often, followed by beauty and personal care services (16.7%) and leisure and entertainment services (13.1%).In addition, despite the popularity of online shopping across the mainland, the survey showed that physical stores remain the primary consumption channel for the more elderly demographic. For such consumers, offline experiences, in-person consultations and a sense of trust in products and services remain prime considerations.To help businesses capitalise on opportunities arising from the silver economy market, the HKTDC has incorporated various related elements into many of its exhibitions and forums. This allows relevant companies to showcase their products and technologies, while also giving them the opportunity to explore the latest industry developments through a series of related seminar programmes.Aligning with this approach, a thematic seminar on healthy ageing was held as part of the Asia Summit on Global Health, while the Rehabilitation and Elderly Care zone at the Hong Kong International Medical and Healthcare Fair featured the latest gerontechnology products. The Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition) also sought to showcase fitness and health products relevant to the senior market.In addition, the Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair, held in January this year, introduced a new “Happy Ageing” label for silver market products, making it easier for buyers to identify toys and related products designed specifically for older consumers. The Asia Toys & Games Forum, held during the fair, hosted a discussion by a number of international experts on the optimum design of toys for the elderly, while also offering many other insights into the silver-focused toy market.Looking ahead, the HKTDC will continue to provide comprehensive support to the business sector, enabling enterprises to further explore and develop opportunities in the growing silver economy market.ReferencesReport link: https://research.hktdc.com/en/article/MjI2ODIyMDg0NwHKTDC Research: http://research.hktdc.com/enPhoto download: https://bit.ly/4shpQjOHKTDC Director of Research Bruce Pang (centre), Deputy Director of Research Wing Chu (left) and Economist Eric Chu (right) presented key findings from the "Chinese Mainland Silver Economy Opportunities" consumer survey reportHKTDC Media Room: http://mediaroom.hktdc.com/enMedia enquiriesFor enquiries, please contact:Raconteur PR Agency:Betsy TseTel: (852) 9742 7338Email: betsytse@raconteur.hkMolisa LauTel: (852) 6187 7786Email: molisalau@raconteur.hkHKTDC Communication and Public Affairs Department:Clayton LauwTel: (852) 2584 4472Email: clayton.y.lauw@hktdc.orgAbout HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is a statutory body established in 1966 to promote, assist and develop Hong Kong's trade.

Kincora Consolidates, Commences Geophysics and Forms Partnership at Cowal East

Expansion of tenure, commencement of sole-funded exploration and next-generation "quantum" gravity partnership at wholly owned Cowal East project within the highly prospective Cowal Igneous Complex of the Macquarie ArcHighlights40% expansion of tenure through consolidation of the southern extension of the Jemalong licence with the enlarged landholding now referred to as the Cowal East projectConsolidated licence portfolio was last held by Gold Fields with no fieldwork undertaken for over a decadeCommencement of a "traditional" ground gravity surveyNew partnership with Atomionics Pte Ltd (Atomionics) for follow up deployment of next generation "quantum" ground gravity technology and AI interpretationMELBOURNE, Mar 10, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Gold-copper explorer and hybrid project generator Kincora Copper Limited (ASX: KCC) (TSXV: KCC) (Kincora or the Company) is pleased to announce a series of initiatives advancing its 100%-owned Cowal East project, located within the highly endowed and tightly held Cowal Igneous Complex (CIC) of the Macquarie Arc in Central West NSW.The CIC is a world-class geological terrane hosting an estimated endowment of more than 20Moz gold and 5Mt copper 1, including Evolution Mining's flagship Cowal gold mine, which generated approximately A$3 million a day in cash flow during the December 2025 quarter 2.The expanded Cowal East project now covers approximately 100km2, following the strategic pegging of a southern extension directly from the NSW Government. A comprehensive ground gravity survey has commenced to provide more consistent coverage across the project, including the full Jemalong license, with infill coverage over the main existing known prospect areas.President & CEO Sam Spring, commented: "The Cowal Igneous Complex hosts Evolution Mining's flagship Cowal mine and the large Marsden porphyry system. It is tightly owned and has historically attracted significant exploration investment from major mining companies. "Despite its highly prospective setting and presence of a confirmed intrusive-related gold system, Cowal East has seen relatively limited drilling. "Consistent with our focused strategy for sole funded exploration projects, we are pleased to have expanded our land position by 40%, commenced the first on-ground exploration activities at Cowal East in over a decade and formed an innovative partnership with Atomionics to deploy next-generation gravity technology. "Ground gravity surveys are a proven exploration tool in the Macquarie Arc, extensively used by Kincora and our earn-in partner AngloGold Ashanti, as well as other explorers in the district."We are excited to gain access to Atomionics' proprietary quantum gravity technology and AI-powered modelling platform, initially at Cowal East but with a pathway for other projects. This technology has the potential to significantly enhance subsurface imaging — faster, more cost effectively, and potentially with materially improved resolution — providing the scope for meaningful advantages in undercover exploration." Mikhail Zeldovich, Chief Commercial Officer of Atomionics, stated: "Kincora's large and prospective Cowal East project, with limited drilling confirming an already known Macquarie Arc intrusive system under shallow to moderate post mineral cover, provides an ideal testbed for comparative deployment of our proprietary quantum-based Gravio system survey and a high-quality traditional gravimetry. "We look forward working with the highly experienced Kincora technical team and systematically advancing the Cowal East project. "Our ambition is to partner with Kincora, and other explorers, to save time and drilling budgets in accelerating the targeting, discovery and drill out phases. "In addition to partnering with Kincora, our 2026 roadmap is scheduling several other deployments of our system with several of the world's largest metal miners, as well as explorers in multiple fields, including metals, hydrocarbons, geothermal and geologic hydrogens. Gravio, combined with our proprietary geologic AI system, ORE-O, is on its way to develop the world's first Large Planet Model to enable mapping of critical resources of the Earth's crust for the benefit of humanity's future."COWAL IGNEOUS COMPLEX The Cowal Igneous Complex (CIC) is a world-class geological terrain hosting an estimated greater than 20Moz gold and 5Mt copper metal endowment 1 within a 40 by 15km fault bounded block of the Junee-Narromine Belt of the Macquarie Arc.The CIC is prospective for both low sulfidation epithermal mineralisation, such as the various deposits within the Gold Corridor that make up the Cowal mine, and, calc-alkalic copper gold porphyry systems such as the Marsden deposit.The Cowal mine was acquired by Evolution Mining (Evolution, (ASX: EVN) and A$30 billion market capitalization 3) in 2015 from Barrick hosting a 3.4Moz gold resource with a current endowment of 14Moz. Cowal is Evolution's flagship mine which in the December 2025 quarter generated $3 million a day of cashflow at an average gold price of A$6206/oz (spot A$7285/oz) 2.The Marsden deposit is located ~16km to the southeast of the Endeavour 42 (E42) open pit on the eastern margin the CIC, ~50km southwest of the Northparkes group of porphyry deposits and ~20km northeast of the northern end of the Temora porphyry cluster held by LinQ Minerals. Kincora's technical director, John Holliday, was involved in the discovery ofMarsden, with Evolution estimating its potential endowment pre being dismembered as 5Mt copper and 8-10Moz gold.Tenure of the CIC is highly consolidated, primarily by Evolution with Kincora owning 100% of the Cowal East and Fairholme projects, and noting Newmont is earning into Koonenberry Gold's Fairholme project (immediately adjacent and north to Kincora's Fairholme project) – see Figure 1.COWAL EAST PROJECTThe ground included in the current Cowal East project has been the focus of many major explorers, including Geopeko, CRA Exploration, BHP, Newcrest, most recently Gold Fields (until 2015) and FMG (until 2025). Despite being widely recognized as a very prospective setting for porphyry copper-gold mineralisation and intrusion-associated gold mineralisation, and hosting a known intrusion related gold system, the Cowal East project has had relatively limited prior drilling.The project is located as close as 9km east of the Cowal mine, immediately the other side of Lake Cowal, and as close as 4km north of the Marsden deposit. The terrain is very flat to undulating in isolated parts and is used for extensive cropping and some grazing. The Newell Highway passes through the southern section of the project and access is readily available via numerous unsealed farm roads and tracks.GROUND GRAVITY SURVEYKincora has contracted Daishsat Geodetic Surveyors (Daishsat) to undertake a ground gravity survey to provide more consistent spaced coverage across the Cowal East project, including the full Jemalong license, with infill coverage over the main existing prospect areas, including Jemalong Channel which is host to a confirmed intrusive gold system under shallow to moderate post mineral cover – see Figure 2.This approach follows Kincora's ongoing exploration template in the northern undercover section of the Junee-Narromine Belt, being advanced in partnership with AngloGold Ashanti, where "traditional" ground gravity surveys have been conducted across three licenses in the last 18 months.The survey is anticipated to support improved structural interpretation of the wider project, including definition of basement architecture, intrusive geometries, major structural corridors and potentially the refinement of subtle intrusive system targets for drill testing. Ground gravity is being used by multiple other porphyry explorers in the district.PARNTERSHIP WITH ATOMIONICSThe Company has entered a binding Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) with Atomionics initially focused on the Cowal East project but with scope to be expanded to other Kincora projects.For the Cowal East project, Atomionics will analyze the results of the "traditional" Daishsat ground gravity survey. A second phase will see Atomionics, at largely its own cost, complete a subsequent survey utilising its proprietary new generation "quantum" sensors with results of the two surveys', coupled with the existing other geological and geophysical data for the project, integrated within its ORE-O AI-powered modeling platform.Kincora and Atomionic will then look to advance discussions for commercial testing of anticipated high priority drill targets.ABOUT ATOMIONICS PTE LTDAtomionics Pte Ltd (Atomionics) is a Singapore-based startup building quantum sensors for subsurface exploration and universal navigation.Atomionics sensors generate 3D models of the Earth's subsurface to pinpoint critical underground resources or infrastructure and enable GPS-free positioning. Atomionics does this by using cold atom interferometry — cooling atoms to near absolute zero with lasers to measure tiny gravitational changes.It is a hands-on, high-energy team operate at the intersection of quantum physics, electronic and mechanical hardware, and AI. Engineers work across mechanical, electronic, and software systems, with an ultimate goal to create the world's first Large Planet Model, mapping the world's critical buried resources.Atomionics' proprietary Gravio quantum gravity sensors are the world's most advanced portable gravimeter built on cold atom interferometry. Gravio currently acquires high-resolution data from ground-based platforms and is developing its airborne solutions. This seeks to enable faster (potentially 10x) and much higher resolution than traditional surveys of the Earth's subsurface.ORE-O is Atomionics' AI-powered modeling platform. ORE-O seeks to transform data gathered by gravity and other geophysics methods into 3D geological maps with deterministic results — refining not just where deposits might be but also how much resource is likely to be there with greater confidence. Atomionics estimates being able to potentially save up to 80% of exploration drilling costs for the metals exploration industry.Atomionics has undertaken a survey with Rio Tinto and is scheduling one with BHP within Tier-1 copper belts, while in 3Q'2025 Atomionics completed a Pre-Series A round financing to accelerate deployment in Australia and North America. The round was led by Paspalis VC (NT) and included BHP Ventures, IQT, Wavemaker, and Singapore's CapVista among others.To learn more, please visit: www.atomionics.comFor further information, please contact: Mikhail S Zeldovich, Chief Commercial Officer mikhail@atomionics.com +65 8064 2150 or +44 779858 1094 (Whatsapp)Figure 1: Kincora has a strategic portfolio in the world-class and tightly held Cowal Igneous Complex of the Macquarie ArcThe Company has seven major project groups located in Central West NSW, six porphyry and one Cobar style system all with clear exploration and/or corporate strategiesTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/287846_kincora%20figure%201.jpg Figure 2: Kincora has increased the size of the portfolio, commencement a sole funded "traditional' ground gravity survey and formed an innovative new technology partnership for a follow up third party funded "quantum" ground gravity surveyRegional geology is masked by 20-120m deep post mineral cover with relatively limited and shallow historic drilling at the Cowal East project and has confirmed a mineralized gold intrusive system at Jemalong Channel following up previous broad gravity and magnetic anomalies/featuresTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/287846_kincora%20figure%202.jpgABOUT KINCORA Kincora Copper Limited (ASX: KCC) (TSXV: KCC) is an emerging Australia-focused copper-gold explorer with a hybrid prospect generator strategy.

Fosun Navigates Cyclical Volatility and Clears Risks as Management Reaffirms RMB10 Bn Profit Target for Next 3 to 5 Yrs

HONG KONG, Mar 10, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – On March 9, Fosun International announced that it has received notices from its controlling shareholder and senior management stating their intention to increase shareholdings by up to HK$500 million within 12 months following the release of the Company's 2025 annual results.Previously, Fosun International (00656.HK) issued a profit warning announcement stating that the loss attributable to owners of the parent of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2025 is expected to be approximately RMB21.5 billion to RMB23.5 billion. The book loss is primarily attributable to one-off non-cash impairment provisions and value revaluations on certain assets made pursuant to the principle of financial prudence. The Company’s fundamentals remain solid. Fosun will continue to advance its strategies of focusing on core businesses and streamlining operations and strengthening the business, promote business growth through refined operations, and consolidate its long-term value.At the investor conference call held on 8 March, Fosun’s management emphasised that this represents a thorough “risk clearance.” Through a one-off, concentrated recognition of non-cash impairment provisions, the Company expects to further strengthen the foundation of its financial statements and enhance asset quality, thereby facilitating the future release of earnings and ensuring that operating performance is more accurately reflected. The Company’s operating fundamentals remain stable, financing capacity remains solid with diversified and smooth funding channels, and its core businesses continue to demonstrate positive development momentum. Over the next three to five years, Fosun will continue advancing toward its target of achieving RMB10 billion in profit.Fosun has also conveyed confidence to the market through ongoing share repurchases. On 2 March, Fosun International announced that, based on its assessment of the Company’s long-term development prospects, it plans to repurchase shares on the open market, with a total amount not exceeding HK$1 billion. Prior to this, on 27 February, Fosun International had already repurchased 13.027 million shares at an aggregate consideration of HK$48.2354 million.Analysts point out that Fosun has been continuously signalling confidence to the market through a series of recent initiatives. A rational analysis suggests that following the one-off impairment provisions—which amount to a comprehensive “clean-up” of its balance sheet—the market can look forward to a fundamentally renewed Fosun.On 9 March, Fosun International (00656.HK) closed higher, with its share price rising to HK$3.83, up HK$0.24 from the previous trading day, representing an increase of 6.69%.On the same day, Guotai Haitong Securities initiated coverage of Fosun International for the first time, noting that the Company’s operating fundamentals continue to improve, earnings momentum is accelerating, and future earnings flexibility and upside potential are worth anticipating. The firm assigned a “Buy” rating with a target price of HK$7.24 and a net asset value (NAV) of HK$18.1 per share.The report stated that Fosun’s “streamlining and strengthening” strategy has delivered notable results, with the Company focusing on four major segments and showing signs of navigating through cyclical inflection points. On the one hand, Fosun has substantially exited non-strategic and non-core assets to accelerate its focus on strategic core businesses with market leadership. On the other hand, it continues to integrate Chinese capabilities globally, driving accelerated performance release from its core businesses and progressively expanding into global markets.Goldman Sachs also released a research report, maintaining its "Neutral" rating on Fosun International while raising the target price. The report highlighted that Fosun’s future profit growth will be driven by several factors, including robust growth from upcoming innovative drug launches, stable growth from insurance business, stability in the gold and jewellery retail segment, as well as operational improvements and better output in Intelligent Manufacturing segmentWhy is Fosun advancing asset impairment at this point in time' From a market perspective, Fosun’s one-off recognition of a substantial non-cash book loss represents both risk clearance and a transition from legacy growth drivers to new engines of growth. Following the resolution of risks in traditional segments such as real estate, their impact on Fosun is expected to diminish further. Going forward, Fosun’s growth will be increasingly driven by its core businesses in pharmaceuticals and healthcare, insurance and finance, and tourism, supported by innovative R&D and deep global industrial operations.In the innovative drug segment, Fosun’s commercialization of innovative drugs in 2025 opened up substantial global market opportunities. The global exclusive licensing agreement signed with Pfizer carries a potential total value of over US$2 billion, while the strategic cooperation agreement entered into with biotechnology company Clavis Bio may entitle the Company to receive payments of up to US$7.25 billion.

Impro Precision 2025 Profit Attributable to Shareholders Reaches Record High of HK$726.2 Million, Up 12.7% Year-on-Year, Forecast 2026 Sales Growth Rate to Accelerate to Mid-Double Digits

HONG KONG, Mar 10, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Impro Precision Industries Limited ("Impro" or the "Group”) (Stock Code: 1286), a world-leading manufacturer of high-precision, high-complexity, and mission-critical components, today announced its annual results for the year ended 31 December 2025 (the “Year”).In 2025, the revenue of the Group amounted to HK$5,095.5 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 8.7%. Profit attributable to shareholders of the Company amounted to HK$726.2 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 12.7%, while adjusted profit attributable to Shareholders amounted to HK$689.9 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 12.1%. Both set new records. Taking into account the sound cash flow position and business prospects of the Group, the Board resolved to declare a second interim dividend of 8.0 HK cents per share for 2025. Together with the first interim dividend of 8.0 HK cents per share for 2025 already distributed, dividend per share for the Year amounted to 16.0 HK cents. The Group’s robust financial performance, coupled with its forward-looking global footprint and diversified end-markets advantages, successfully attracted capital from Hong Kong, overseas, and the Chinese Mainland to purchase the Group’s shares during the Year. In 2025, the Group’s share price increased significantly by approximately 1.5 times compared to the end of 2024.During the Year, the artificial intelligence boom, significant fluctuations in U.S. tariff policies and ongoing geopolitical conflicts continued to intertwine, profoundly affecting the global market landscape and trends. By virtue of its solid business foundation and its enduringly effective strategies of “Global Footprint”, “Region for Region Manufacturing” and “Dual Source Production”, the Group successfully mitigated market risks and achieved growth in its results. In 2025, the development momentum of artificial intelligence remained strong, driving continued growth in demand for related data centers. As a key component of distributed power generators, the demand for high horsepower engines rose significantly, leading to a substantial year-on-year increase of 43.3% in the Group’s sales in the high horsepower engine end-market. This market became the Group’s largest sub-sector end-market in terms of sales during the Year, accounting for 22.1% of total revenue. Meanwhile, the growth in demand for liquid cooling systems related to artificial intelligence data centers was also very strong, driving a substantial year-on-year increase of 38.4% in revenue from the diversified industrials others end-market. In addition, as new products commenced mass production, revenue from the medical end-market recorded a significant year-on-year increase of 55.2%.Furthermore, as the Group’s Mexico SLP campus is still in the ramp-up stage, with high employee turnover leading to rising scrap rates, it continued to record a relatively large net loss during the Year. Although overall operations still face numerous uncertainties, the strategic value and commercial potential of the Mexico SLP Campus within the Group’s “Global Footprint” will gradually become apparent, with its long-term development potential and contribution worth expecting. In terms of internal management, as more employee dormitories in Mexico are successively put into use, it is expected that the issue of employee turnover will be effectively alleviated. Moreover, to seize the opportunities from the rapid growth of the global investment casting market and to meet strong customer demand, the Group will moderately increase the capital expenditure of the aerospace plant in the Mexico SLP Campus. Subject to prudent assessment, the Group will continue to seek opportunities to expand production capacity and process categories, aiming to share in the dividends of market growth. The Group expects capital expenditure for 2026 to be approximately HK$850 million, of which more than three-quarters will be allocated to the Mexico SLP Campus, with the remainder to be primarily invested in our plants in China.In addition, most of the plants in China have maintained stable operations and continued to achieve stellar financial performance and significant profit growth. With the successful relocation of Foshan Ameriforge (Plant 12) to Nantong and the gradual stabilization of its operations, the plant has demonstrated a steady growth trend in its performance. Plant 8 for surface treatment in Nantong is expected to achieve a turnaround to profitability in 2026.Looking ahead to 2026, in view of the expected continued strong growth of artificial intelligence data centers related products, coupled with a large number of new orders at the Mexico SLP Campus and the recovery of demand in certain end-markets, the Group’s sales revenue growth rate is expected to accelerate over the next two to three years. Based on the Group’s outstanding orders on hand and the progress of future new project development, the Group forecasts that the year-on-year sales growth rate in 2026 will be approximately mid-double digits.The Group expects the diversified industrials sector to continue to demonstrate robust growth momentum. In the high horsepower engine sector, as products are upgraded from castings and rough machining to a higher proportion of deep processing and partial full-finishing, combined with the successive mass production for new projects involving both existing and new customers, and with the large-scale sand casting workshop in Phase II of the Mexico SLP Campus commencing mass production in the middle of this year to provide more capacity, it is expected that high horsepower engine-related components will embark on a new growth curve starting from 2026.The aerospace, energy and medical sector will become one of the Group’s primary growth engines in the future. In the aerospace end-market, the Mexican plants obtained the initial phase of AS9100 quality system certification in January 2026. As aerospace products involve various specialized processes, it is expected that the relevant certifications will be completed successively in the second half of 2026, and mass production will gradually commence. In the medical end-market, the Group will continue to develop surgical robots and related products, which are expected to demonstrate certain growth potential in the coming years.According to industry forecasts, the global investment casting market is set to grow from approximately US$17.5 billion in 2025 to more than US$23.8 billion in 2031, of which approximately US$4 billion will be coming from the aerospace, energy and medical sector. To capture this market opportunity and gain a share of the market growth, the Group is continuously evaluating a potential spin-off and separate listing of the aerospace, energy and medical sector, as well as various other feasible financing options to support the expansion of future production capacity and process categories and make forward-looking preparations for the long-term sustainable development of the aerospace end-sector.To actively explore and lay out the medium-to-long-term growth momentum, the Group has formally established the “Future Business Unit”, which focuses on identifying and evaluating emerging market opportunities that align with the Group’s strategic direction, with the aim of cultivating potential growth projects for the Group and continuing to explore new opportunities amid future industry trends. The “Future Business Unit” will serve as a key innovation engine, assisting the Group’s existing “Aerotek Business Unit”, “Fluidtek Business Unit” and “Mechatek Business Unit” in enhancing market share and global industry status amidst dynamic competition and laying the foundation for the next stage of advancement.Mr. Lu Ruibo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Impro, said, “Looking ahead, the Group will focus on the three core strategies of ‘Global Footprint’, ‘Diversified End-market’ and ‘Twin Growth Engine’, while simultaneously promoting the expansion of the diversified industrials, aerospace, energy, medical and automotive end-markets, and precisely seizing the strategic opportunities brought by the artificial intelligence. Meanwhile, the Group will continue to optimize its global production capacity allocation, give full play to the advantages of its global footprint, and actively promote end-market diversification and regional production synergy. In addition, the Group will continue to seek merger and acquisition opportunities with synergistic effects, strengthen its research and development and technical capabilities, drive continuous improvement of the Group’s results by providing diversified, high-quality products and services, and strive to create stable and growing returns for shareholders.” Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Fosun International: One-Off Non-Cash Impairment Provisions for Certain Non-Core Businesses, Core Industries Maintain Sound Development Momentum

HONG KONG, Mar 9, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – On 6 March, Fosun International (00656.HK) issued a profit warning announcement stating that, based on the information available to the Company and the latest unaudited consolidated management accounts, the loss attributable to owners of the parent of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2025 is expected to be approximately RMB21.5 billion to RMB23.5 billion. The substantial loss is primarily attributable to one-off non-cash impairment provisions and value revaluations on certain real estate projects and goodwill of certain non-core business segments.In the announcement, Fosun International set out the primary reasons for the substantial book loss for the year. First, during the 2025 Financial Year, the real estate industry continued in a downward cycle with overall weak market demand, exerting pressure on the Group’s real estate business segment. Second, due to changes in market conditions, the Company has made impairment provisions on goodwill and intangible assets of certain non-core business segments to objectively reflect their value. The Company emphasised that the above-mentioned substantial non-cash impairments and provisions will not affect the overall operations and cash flows of the Company. The Company’s fundamentals remain stable.Market analysts noted that the impairment recognised by Fosun represents a prudent financial measure aimed at “removing historical burdens.” It does not affect the Company’s operating cash flows, nor does it undermine its long-term investment value, with its asset base remaining solid. From another perspective, following the recognition of these substantial impairment provisions, the Company’s net assets — still at a scale of nearly RMB100 billion level — remain robust, and its net asset value (NAV) may even record growth, meriting close attention from investors.According to Fosun International’s 2024 annual report, as at 31 December 2024, net assets attributable to owners of the parent amounted to RMB118.103 billion. Based on the mid-point of the expected loss disclosed in the profit warning (RMB22.5 billion), and assuming the impairment is fully reflected, net assets attributable to owners of the parent would be approximately RMB95.603 billion after deduction, still maintaining a scale close to RMB100 billion. Even if calculated based on the upper end of RMB23.5 billion, net assets would remain at approximately RMB94.603 billion. Overall, the Group’s asset structure remains sound and resilient.It is worth noting that the impairment provisions are primarily concentrated in the real estate segment and the goodwill of certain non-core businesses. These adjustments not only reflect prudent measures taken in response to the continued downturn cycle in the real estate industry, but also represent the continued implementation of Fosun’s strategy of “streamlining and strengthening” and “focusing on its core businesses.” In fact, since 2025, the appreciation and value realisation of Fosun’s core assets have not only been capable of offsetting the impact of these impairments, but may also contribute incremental growth to net assets.According to publicly available information, in 2025 Fosun’s core business segments, including pharmaceuticals and healthcare as well as insurance and finance, delivered strong performance and have maintained robust momentum entering 2026.In the innovative drug segment, Fosun’s innovative drug commercialisation in 2025 opened up significant global market opportunities. The global exclusive licensing agreement signed with Pfizer carries a potential total value of over US$2 billion, while the strategic cooperation agreement entered into with biotechnology company Clavis Bio may entitle the Company to receive payments of up to US$7.25 billion.At the beginning of 2026, Fosun further entered into an agreement with Eisai Co., Ltd. in relation to HANSIZHUANG, positioning itself in Japan, the world’s fourth-largest pharmaceutical market, with a potential total value of over US$300 million.In the insurance segment, Fidelidade recorded net profit of €170 million for the first three quarters of 2025, representing a year-on-year increase of 11.7%. Peak Reinsurance reported net profit of US$88.8 million for the first half of 2025.Recently, two of Fosun’s domestic insurance companies successively announced substantial growth in premium income and net profit for 2025. Fosun United Health Insurance recorded business income of RMB7.84 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 50%, ranking among the fastest-growing specialised health insurers, and achieved net profit of RMB130 million for the year. Pramerica Fosun Life Insurance recorded annual insurance business income of RMB12.598 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 36.17%, and achieved net profit of RMB647 million, representing a significant year-on-year increase of over 450%, marking a new level in both the scale and quality of profitability.In addition, in the tourism and culture segment, several of Fosun’s business lines achieved a strong start to the new year. During the core six-day Spring Festival holiday period, the average occupancy rate of Club Med’s five premium all-inclusive resorts in China reached 90%. Atlantis Sanya recorded total revenue of over RMB124 million during the nine-day Spring Festival holiday period, representing a year-on-year increase of 20% and achieving its best performance on record.“The decision by Fosun to recognise a substantial one-off non-cash book loss in the current annual financial statements represents a proactive step to clear risks and to further advance its strategy of ‘streamlining and strengthening’ and ‘focusing on its core businesses’,” the above-mentioned analysts stated. Following the removal of these historical burdens, Fosun’s future growth trajectory will become clearer. In particular, its core businesses, including pharmaceuticals and healthcare, insurance and finance, and tourism, will receive greater resource allocation and serve as key value anchors.Fosun has also recently conveyed confidence to the market by increasing its share repurchase efforts. On 2 March, Fosun International announced that, based on its assessment of the Company’s long-term development prospects, it plans to repurchase shares on the open market in the period from the publication of the 2025 annual results announcement up to the date of the 2026 annual general meeting, with a total repurchase amount not exceeding HK$1 billion. Prior to this, on 27 February, Fosun International had already repurchased 13.027 million shares on the open market at an aggregate consideration of HK$48.2354 million.

Huatai Securities Convenes 2026 Spring Investment Summit in Shanghai

Shanghai, Mar 9, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – In early March 2026, Huatai Securities held its 2026 Spring Investment Summit in Shanghai. Convened under the banner of seizing opportunity, embracing innovation and planning for the long term, the summit brought together investors, corporates and policy experts to examine market dynamics amid a period of profound structural change and to identify forward-looking investment opportunities.The two-day event featured a flagship plenary session alongside 11 sector-focused forums, addressing a broad range of market-defining topics, including the outlook for US politics, defense technology, policy interpretation following China’s “Two Sessions”, and the macroeconomic and market outlook for 2026.In her opening remarks, Dr. LIANG Hong, Chair of the Institutional Business Committee at Huatai Securities, observed that China is at a critical revival moment and delivering a strong start to the 15th Five-Year Plan will be the policy priority in 2026. A convergence of structural forces is reshaping upstream pricing dynamics and industry fundamentals: with PPI turning positive; building a unified national market; deepening supply-side rationalization reforms; the approaching 2030 carbon-peak milestone; elevated resource-security priorities; and a new direction for AI-capex. She noted that the upward re-rating of Chinese assets began in 2025 will broaden and deepen this year, with continued conviction in investment themes spanning technology, power, chemicals and rare metals amid the interplay of geopolitical realignment and the AI supercycle.Huatai Research’s macro team led in-depth discussions on the current economic backdrop, asset-allocation themes and market strategy.Focusing on key macro variables, Eva YI, Chief Economist at Huatai Securities, elaborated on what she described as a “more commodity-intensive global capex cycle” — one driven by the infrastructure build-out of AI-related capital expenditure, a renewed upcycle in global defense spending, a trough in China’s real estate construction costs, and a recovery in the global manufacturing cycle. A sustained rebound in PPI, in her view, will serve as the leading indicator of this round of asset re-rating in China.Against this backdrop, Huatai’s economics research team has recently revised up its forecasts for China’s PPI and the RMB exchange rate. Eva noted that pro-cyclical appreciation of the RMB reflects improving returns on investment and declining risk premia, potentially enabling USD-denominated earnings growth of Chinese corporates to outpace that of major developed markets for the first time since 2021 — which could structurally change global asset allocation landscape.On the core asset-allocation themes for the year, ZHANG Jiqiang, Head of Huatai Research and Chief Analyst for Fixed Income, highlighted the search for “pricing power” as a defining market narrative. The evolution of the geopolitical order and the AI revolution remain key perspectives in identifying structural opportunities. While global liquidity conditions may soften this year, RMB appreciation and the safe characteristics of Chinese markets are expected to attract capital inflows, with maturing domestic deposits providing additional liquidity support. While near-term uncertainty surrounding Iran remains a key risk, investors are shifting from pure risk-off trading sentiment to pricing in stagflation concerns, as the duration of the conflict remains the critical factor to consider.Across asset classes, ZHANG expects equities and commodities to outperform bonds. Structurally, upstream resource sectors are favored over downstream consumption, hardware over software, and export-oriented industries are likely to retain competitive momentum.Turning to China’s A-share market, HE Kang, Chief Strategist and Co-Chief for Quantitative Research at Huatai Research, pointed to two pivotal shifts — changes in the AI narrative and expectations for a return to positive PPI — that may validate the annual style call of “rebalancing between the old and new economies”. From late March into April, as macro data and corporate earnings are released, markets are likely to refocus on fundamentals. High-growth segments could cluster in cyclical sectors, manufacturing and TMT, within a backdrop of a structurally differentiated, modest recovery. Overseas expansion will remain a critical variable for earnings improvement. Should first-quarter macro data surprise to the upside, large-cap value stocks that are more sensitive to fundamental recovery could see scope for style rotation.He also highlighted that quantitative models suggest equities and commodities tend to benefit in an environment of ample liquidity and moderately rising inflation. In particular, commodities may see the resonance of short- and medium-term cycles in the second half of the year, offering stronger potential gains — a view consistent with Huatai economics research team’s broader thesis of a global commodity-intensive supercycle.On Hong Kong equities, LI Yujie, Strategist at Huatai Research, argued that the market’s primary driver in 2026 has shifted from valuation and liquidity to earnings. Expectations for profit recovery center on three themes: sectors linked to a marginal stabilization in property, such as building materials; pricing opportunities arising from tight supply-demand balances, including lithium mining, livestock and dairy, and transportation; and technological bottlenecks, with a focus on domestically developed semiconductors in the Hong Kong market.LI underscored that technology remains a clear overarching theme, with debate focused on which segments will ultimately capture value in this wave of innovation. For China’s AI ecosystem, she advised against concentrating exposure solely on upstream chips or downstream applications, advocating instead a bottom-up approach to identifying high-quality companies with competitive potential across the value chain.The plenary session also welcomed a distinguished lineup of external voices. GUO Kai, Executive President of CF40 Institute, offered his assessment of the macroeconomic outlook. ZHAO Hai, Director of the Department of International Politics at the National Institute for Global Strategy under CASS, addressed the shifting global order. XIE Suming, Member of the Strategic Advisory Committee and Chief Analyst at Yuanwang Think Tank, shared perspectives on defense technology innovation. Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

AI Labs Introduces AI-Assisted Crypto Trading Platform Focused on Data Analysis and Automated Execution

SINGAPORE, Mar 9, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - AI Labs, an AI-driven crypto trading technology company backed by Academic Labs, announced the launch of an AI-assisted platform designed to help cryptocurrency traders analyze market data and respond more efficiently to changing market conditions. As automated tools and algorithmic strategies become more common in global digital asset markets, the platform integrates visual analysis, narrative data monitoring, and automated trade execution features intended to support more structured and data-driven trading decisions.The fastest traders in today's crypto markets may not always be humans. As digital asset markets increasingly incorporate automation, many traders now rely on algorithmic systems that can monitor markets continuously and react to signals with minimal delay.A crypto project called AI Labs (ticker: AIX) is building an AI-enabled platform that combines visual reasoning, narrative intelligence, and automated execution to help users interpret market data and respond to signals more efficiently than traditional manual analysis alone."Markets are entering an era where the use of artificial intelligence is becoming more common in trading strategies," said Kingston Kwek, owner of AI Labs. "Our goal is to make analytical tools that are often used by institutional trading teams more accessible to a wider group of crypto traders."At the center of AI Labs' platform is a visual reasoning engine that analyzes charts not simply as static images, but as evolving market structures.Using computer vision and multimodal AI techniques, the system can identify potential liquidity zones, resistance levels, and broader market patterns within short timeframes.Alongside this, AI Labs has developed a narrative intelligence layer that scans information across the crypto ecosystem. This includes movements associated with large crypto wallets, developer updates, and shifts in online sentiment—signals that traders often monitor when assessing possible market trends.Instead of only placing individual buy or sell orders, traders can define broader trading parameters using the AI system. The platform can then execute trades automatically based on predefined conditions, such as capital inflows, volatility changes, or funding-rate shifts.The objective is to help reduce emotional decision-making and allow traders to stay aligned with their strategies while automated systems monitor market activity continuously.AI Labs' platform is currently onboarding new users, with reported monthly trading activity exceeding $1 billion across the platform.Media ContactBrand: AI Labs (Backed by Academic Labs)Contact: Media teamWebsite: https://academic-labs.org Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

OMRON Healthcare releases new Women’s Heart Health Factbook

TOKYO, Mar 9, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - As International Women's Day prompts renewed focus on women's health, OMRON Healthcare has released a new Women's Heart Health Factbook spotlighting an often-overlooked issue: the intersection between menopause, hypertension, and long-term cardiovascular risk.An estimated 32% of women aged 30-79 worldwide are living with hypertension. Yet only 59% are diagnosed, and just 23% achieve effective blood pressure control. That equates to less than a quarter of hypertensive women managing to stabilise their blood pressure.Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in women globally, with ischemic heart disease and stroke accounting for the majority of cases. Risk often accelerates during and after menopause, as declining estrogen levels affect vascular health and blood pressure regulation.Women also face additional life-stage factors that may influence cardiovascular outcomes, including pregnancy-related hypertension and hormonal contraceptive use, underscoring the importance of consistent monitoring across the lifespan.Expert perspective"Despite being the leading cause of death for women globally, cardiovascular disease is frequently underdiagnosed and undertreated in women due to longstanding biases in research, clinical guidelines and symptom recognition," said Prof. Alta Schutte, Principal Theme Lead of Cardiac, Vascular and Metabolic Medicine in the Faculty of Medicine and Health at UNSW Sydney, Australia."Menopause is not only a major life transition - it is also a cardiovascular turning point," added Karel Herberigs, Managing Director, OMRON Healthcare EMEA. "Greater awareness and routine monitoring can help close a persistent care gap and support earlier intervention."Archanna Mohangoo, Medical Marketing Manager (EMEA), said: "Too often, symptoms such as fatigue, disrupted sleep, or heart palpitations are attributed solely to menopause, when they may in some cases signal underlying conditions such as hypertension or atrial fibrillation (AFib), which can significantly increase stroke and heart disease risk if left undetected. This Factbook aims to encourage women and healthcare providers alike to look more closely at cardiovascular health during this stage of life."Potential coverage angles- The global hypertension care gap in women - Menopause as a cardiovascular risk inflection point - Why blood pressure monitoring should remain a priority beyond reproductive years - The under-recognised burden of heart disease in women - Prevention and early detection strategies across the lifespanThe full Women's Heart Health Factbook is available to download from:  https://brandportal.healthcare.omron.com/share/365D593E-78F0-4F35-9C8A589508CB5951/For interviews, expert commentary, or additional data, please contact:omronhealthcare-pr@kyodo-pr.co.jp Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

World’s largest one stop jewellery marketplace attracts some 80,000 buyers, with growth in buyers from ASEAN, Korea and beyond

HONG KONG, March 8, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – The 42nd Hong Kong International Jewellery Show and the 12th Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show wrapped up successfully today. Organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) under the “Two Shows, Two Venues” format,  the twin shows together drew some 80,000 buyers from 150 countries and regions, with the Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show welcoming over 28,000 buyers from 125 countries and regions and  the Jewellery Show attracting over 51,000 buyers from 140 countries and regions.Jenny Koo, Deputy Executive Director of the HKTDC, said: “The twin jewellery shows hosted about 4,000 exhibitors from more than 40 countries and regions. Buyer attendance from the Philippines, Korea, Australia and Switzerland all recorded significant growth, a testament to the strong international standing of the twin shows. Over 30 industry seminars and events were held during the shows, keeping industry professionals informed of the latest market and industry trends. We were pleased to welcome three pavilions making their debut at the show, namely the Hard Pure Gold Pavilion, the Zhushan Turquoise Pavilion and the Hong Kong Watch Manufacturers Association Pavilion, each showcasing their jewellery craftsmanship to international buyers.”Industry optimistic about Korea and ASEAN marketsTo gain deeper insights into jewellery industry trends, the HKTDC conducted an on-site survey of 1,509 exhibitors and buyers. Results indicate that both buyers and exhibitors are cautiously optimistic about the economic outlook. Key findings are:Market and industry outlook44.3% of respondents expect overall sales to increase in the next one to two years; 49% expect sales to remain stable.Respondents view the following markets as having good or very good growth potential for jewellery products over the next two years: Korea (73.2%), ASEAN (71.8%), Chinese Mainland (68.5%), Taiwan (65.3%), Australia (64.1%).For those markets with the greatest development potential, most respondents plan to explore: Europe (20.8%), ASEAN (16.8%), Chinese Mainland (15.3%), Japan (15.3%), Taiwan (10.8%).In the next three years, technological advancements in artificial intelligence (66.1%), social media (43.7%), and big data (41.5%) are expected to have the greatest impact on the jewellery industry.Product trendsProducts with the strongest growth potential this year include trendy fashion jewellery (57.3%), precious jewellery (35.1%), and designer jewellery (21.1%).The most popular precious metal products in 2026 are karat yellow gold (40.1%), karat white gold (31.7%) and pure gold (28%).The most popular gemstones this year are diamonds (28.8%), followed by rubies (24.7%) and pearls (19.7%).Riding the gold wave: Chinese Mainland hard pure gold makers go globalThe government’s latest Budget Speech highlighted plans to strengthen Hong Kong’s status as an international gold trading market which is expected to bring new momentum to gold demand in the jewellery market. Adding to the excitement, the World Gold Council led 10 exhibitors from the Chinese Mainland for the first time to launch the Hard Pure Gold Pavilion at this year’s show, which proved to be one of the show's major highlights.Regional CEO Roland Wang said: “The Hong Kong International Jewellery Show has been instrumental in helping Chinese gold manufacturers connect with international buyers and expand their market reach. We have already received a considerable number of orders in just the first three days. Our current focus is on developing markets in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and India, where interest in hard pure gold products is steadily growing. More affordable, lighter-weight hard pure gold pieces are proving particularly attractive to younger middle-class consumers.”Sharon Weng, Deputy General Manager of YueHao Jewellery, a Shenzhen-based exhibitor at the Hard Pure Gold Pavilion, said: “Expanding our overseas client base is a key business priority for us this year, and the show has provided the ideal platform to pursue that goal. We have also established connections with Southeast Asian markets, including Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand." Another Chinese Mainland exhibitor specialising in hard pure gold jewellery expressed plans to set up an office in Hong Kong in the near future, to better leverage the city as a springboard for global expansion.Sales surpass expectations as diamonds captivate buyersSales at the shows this year exceeded expectations for many exhibitors. Youngeun Kim, founder of Soyou, a Korean exhibitor, said: "Through the world's largest jewellery trade platform, we have successfully connected with potential buyers from the Chinese Mainland, Africa and the United Kingdom, and expect our sales to grow by 30% compared with last year."Hong Kong exhibitor SimStar Asia Limited, which specialises in high-value, investment-grade diamonds, secured several orders from buyers in Europe and the United States during the show, with total transactions running into the millions of US dollars. The company also projected a 10% increase in annual sales and noted that demand for high-clarity, top-colour white diamonds in the 5 to 10-carat range remains robust, while rare red and blue diamonds are also drawing keen interest from buyers.This year, the Hall of Fame grew by more than 40%. Emre Can, Export Sales Manager of Zen Diamond, a Turkish exhibitor, shared that while the company initially came with the aim of expanding into Asian markets, buyers from the United Kingdom and the United States had already expressed interest on Day One. Existing clients from Europe and South America also travelled to meet face to face, which is a testament to the global appeal of branded jewellery.Designer jewellery on the rise as new generation embraces personalisationThe shows welcomed over 50 designer exhibitors, including 10 Korean designers making their debut at the fair. They were pleased with their results and are already considering expanding their presence at next year's edition. A Korean designer exhibitor also shared that new enquiries from potential buyers had been received, particularly from Europe, and was pleasantly surprised to receive one from Poland. A seminar featuring Paola De Luca, Founder and Creative Director of Trendvision Jewellery + Forecasting, gave attendees an in-depth look at emerging jewellery design trends, exploring how personalisation can respond to the younger consumer market.The shows also hosted three design competitions: the 27th Hong Kong Jewellery Design Competition, the Hong Kong International Fashion Chuk Kam Jewellery Design Competition, and the inaugural International Fei Cui Jewellery Design Competition. Award ceremonies were held on-site, with winning pieces on display across the venue, offering buyers a first look at the latest creative works while fostering closer ties between designers and jewellery manufacturers.Global exhibitors tap into new opportunitiesThe twin shows brought together exhibitors from around the world, with Uzbekistan making its debut appearance. Fonon Jewelry House, an Uzbek exhibitor, showcased gold pieces with distinctive Central Asian cultural influences, drawing strong interest from international buyers. Alisher Romanov, the Head of Foreign Economic Affairs of this exhibitor, said: "We are looking to use Hong Kong as a springboard for expansion into other Asian markets. We have already connected with potential buyers from the Chinese Mainland, Malaysia and the Philippines, and expect sales to reach approximately USD 50 million." Another Uzbek exhibitor also shared that it had received a jewellery order worth as much as USD 35 million from a Hong Kong buyer. The Uzbekistan delegation also seized the occasion to formally sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the HKTDC and the Hong Kong Jewellery Manufacturers' Association, with the aim of further promoting Uzbekistan's jewellery to global markets through Hong Kong's platform and strengthening bilateral trade ties.Buyers seek diverse offeringsTurkish buyer, Kasapoglu Jewellery came to the show with the specific goal of sourcing new loose diamond suppliers, setting aside a procurement budget of over USD 900,000. US-based diamond wholesaler David Abraham & Co found the show to be a true one-stop destination, discovering services ranging from certification to repolishing, as well as sourcing gemological equipment and tools. The company met with 35 exhibitors from Hong Kong, India, Israel, the Middle East, Europe and the United States in a single day. China National Gold Group Gold Jewellery Co., Ltd. from Beijing made the most of both shows, sourcing turquoise samples at the Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show and explored fine jewellery offerings at the Jewellery Show. The company noted that demand for both high-end gemstones and mass-market jewellery is growing in tandem, with younger consumers increasingly drawn to delicate and refined designs. Its total procurement budget across both shows is USD 200,000.Golden Silver Z.L S.A., a major 925 sterling silver jewellery supplier in Latin America and a loyal visitor to the shows for over 20 years, returned again this year and confirmed silver jewellery orders with three exhibitors, with combined transactions exceeding USD 1.9 million.Online-offline integration expands horizonsDue to the impact of geopolitical situation, some buyers from certain regions were unable to attend in person. The HKTDC responded promptly with a range of support measures. These included on-site support for exhibitors with promotional material placement, as well as helping affected buyers rearrange flights and accommodation to defer their arrivals by one to two days.Meanwhile, the shows continue to adopt the EXHIBITION+ online and offline hybrid format, enabling enterprises to extend their physical exhibition negotiations to online matching platforms. Exhibitors and buyers can engage in AI-powered business matching through the HKTDC Marketplace App's "Click2Match" and hktdc.com Sourcing, while buyers can also use Scan2Match to scan exhibitors’ QR codes and continue discussions with exhibitors online after the show.For buyers from affected regions who were unable to travel to Hong Kong for sourcing, the show facilitated over 100 online business matching sessions, helping the industry sustain momentum and seize opportunities during a challenging period.The HKTDC continues to help exhibitors tap into the Chinese Mainland market through e-commerce channels. This year, two major platforms, Taobao Tmall and, for the first time, Douyin partnered with the shows, involving 10 exhibitors and more than 30 influencers and KOLs. The campaign generated over 35 million online impressions and achieved sales exceeding USD 20 million. The shows also invited Korean influencer to attend, who successfully sourced from a number of exhibitors, with combined purchases totalling close to USD 700,000.Photo download: https://bit.ly/4aXXZ24Organised by the HKTDC, the 42nd Hong Kong International Jewellery Show and 12th Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show have concluded successfullyThe world’s one-stop jewellery marketplace is highly regarded by industry professionals worldwide, with buyers demonstrating strong purchasing intentThe Uzbekistan delegation made its debut at the Hong Kong International Jewellery Show this year.
