Published

on

HONG KONG SAR – Media OurReach Newswire – 13 November 2025 – Citi hosted its 2025 China Conference this week and released an updated research report on Fosun International (00656.HK), reiterating its “Buy” rating and raising the target price to HK$6.5.

Citi remains positive on Fosun’s business streamlining and core business-focused strategy. Following a series of recent meetings with Fosun’s management team, Citi noted that the discussions reflected a clear strategic direction. Management has indicated that Fosun will continue to focus on its core businesses, deepen its global presence, and continue to step up innovation efforts.

Citi also notes Fosun’s ongoing efforts to optimize its financial structure and highlights its firm commitment to deleveraging and divesting non-core assets. Fosun’s business streamlining approach will not only enhance financial resilience but also sharpen the Group’s strategic focus on core businesses to unlock long-term value. UBS, in its latest research report, also notes Fosun’s proactive steps to dispose non-core assets, optimize its asset portfolio, and increase cash flow amid improving equity market sentiment and valuation, thus raising the target price for Fosun International.

In fact, multiple domestic and international securities firms, including Citi, Industrial Securities, Kaiyuan Securities, Huaxi Securities, SDIC Securities, China Securities, and Founder Securities, currently hold “Buy” or “Overweight” ratings on Fosun International, with target prices ranging from HK$6.5 to HK$7.5. They are confident in Fosun’s solid business resilience and innovation-driven growth. Citi highlights that Fosun’s health and insurance businesses will provide long-term profit momentum for the Group, while securities firms such as Industrial Securities and Huaxi Securities remain upbeat on the sustained breakthroughs in Fosun’s core cultural tourism and consumer businesses.

Powered by continuous innovation, Fosun’s Health segment has achieved multiple breakthroughs in the field of innovative drugs, earning strong endorsements from securities firms. Among which, HANSIZHUANG, an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody independently developed by Fosun, has become the world’s first anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody approved for the first-line treatment of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). To date, it has been approved for marketing in nearly 40 countries and regions, including China, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Singapore, and India. Additionally, HLX43, a PD-L1-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) independently developed by Fosun, is undergoing clinical studies for solid tumors such as non-small cell lung cancer and thymic carcinoma in countries including China, the United States, and Australia. Currently, no PD-L1 ADC has been approved globally, positioning HLX43 as a potential highly effective and safe broad-spectrum anticancer drug.

In the insurance business, Fidelidade maintained steady growth in 2024. It recorded a 12.7% year-on-year increase in insurance income, with net profit for the full year reaching EUR253 million. In July 2025, S&P assigned Fidelidade an “A” rating. It anticipates that, over the next two years, Fidelidade will continue to maintain its leading positions in both Portugal and international markets, and sustain robust capital strength and profitability to achieve steady growth.

In the cultural tourism business, during the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays in 2025, Taicang Alps International Resort welcomed over 50,000 visitors, while Lijiang Club Med Resort reported full occupancy for three consecutive days. In addition, the six resorts of Club Med Urban Oasis and Club Med Joyview saw their average daily room rates increase nearly 10% year-on-year. In particular, the Heilongtan resort sustained an occupancy rate above 94% for six consecutive days, driving a 36% year-on-year increase in total business volume for Club Med in China and a 213% surge in inbound tourists. Meanwhile, Atlantis Sanya achieved a 20% year-on-year increase in average daily room rate, further consolidating its leadership in the high-end resort market.

In the consumer business, securities firms note that Yuyuan is accelerating adjustments to its overall operating strategy. While short-term earnings are experiencing pressure, the jewelry segment’s results indicate the company has entered the latter stage of its adjustment cycle, with core businesses gradually recovering. Citi also highlights the positive sequential momentum in Yuyuan’s gold and jewelry business, demonstrating the resilience of Fosun’s consumer portfolio. The market broadly anticipates that with a moderate recovery in the consumer market, the establishment of the Shanghai International Jewelry & Style District, and the deepening of global presence, Yuyuan is poised to establish new growth drivers in core areas such as jewelry fashion and commercial operations, unlocking greater growth potential.

Fosun continues to promote innovation in asset management and fintech, gaining recognition from domestic and international securities firms including Citi. In the research report, Citi highlights Fosun’s increased resources and attention to fintech and Web3.0 businesses and notes that its subsidiary Finloop Finance Technology has emerged as a leading fintech company in the Hong Kong market. Incubated by Fosun Wealth, Finloop Finance Technology is positioned as an AI-driven, one-stop Web5 (Web2 + Web3) wealth technology platform with licensed operations in Hong Kong. Huaxi Securities and SDIC Securities highlight that Finloop Finance Technology is making steady progress in the virtual asset market with the launch of its FinRWA platform. Powered by a proprietary research and development system, the FinRWA platform provides enterprises and financial institutions with compliant and efficient access to Web3, supporting tokenized issuance and distribution of both public and private funds. It has already executed several innovative projects, including the launch of the Hong Kong’s first platform for multi-currency tokenized funds, facilitating the rollout of Hong Kong’s first tokenized fund under a unit trust structure, and the debut of Asia’s first comprehensive technical solution for “Hong Kong Stock Performance-Linked Token”. In April this year, Finloop Finance Technology was recognized by the Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises (OASES) of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as one of its key enterprises.

Multiple securities firms note that Fosun’s core businesses are operating steadily. With a continued focus on industries of strength and potential, Fosun is deepening its global presence and intensifying its technology innovation efforts, thereby shaping a resilient business framework capable of withstanding economic cycles. Consequently, these firms maintain an optimistic outlook on Fosun International’s long-term growth.

Green SM Officially Launches Fully Electric Taxi Service in Denmark

Published

on

COPENHAGEN, DENMARK – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 July 2026 – Green SM today officially launched its fully electric taxi service in Copenhagen, marking the company’s first entry into the European market. The launch represents an important milestone in Green SM’s international expansion, following the successful rollout and operation of its services across Vietnam and several Asian markets.

The launch ceremony was attended by Mr. Do Quang Thai, First Secretary of the Embassy of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in the Kingdom of Denmark, together with representatives from leading Danish organizations, including 3F, Dansk Erhverv, DPT and Carnegie Investment Bank, alongside strategic partners and industry stakeholders from the transport, technology, energy, finance and infrastructure sectors.

As one of the world’s leading cities in sustainable urban mobility, Copenhagen was chosen as Green SM’s first European market. Here, the company aims to complement the city’s existing transport network by offering another reliable, fully electric mobility option for residents and visitors alike.

In Denmark, the company operates a fully electric fleet of VinFast VF 6 and VF 8 vehicles, serving a wide range of everyday urban travel needs. Unlike many ride-hailing platforms that primarily connect passengers with independent drivers, Green SM directly owns and manages its fleet and oversees driver operations to help ensure consistent service quality and customer experience. During the initial phase of operations, Green SM will focus on establishing a reliable local operation, ensuring full compliance with Danish regulations, and continuously improving its service based on feedback from customers, drivers, and other stakeholders.

Delivering a safe, professional, and consistent customer experience begins with Green SM’s drivers. Before serving customers, every driver completes comprehensive training in road safety, customer service, operating procedures, and electric vehicle operation. Together with ongoing training and a robust local operations system, this helps ensure every journey reflects the high standards Green SM is committed to delivering.

Customers can book rides through the Green SM app, available on the App Store and Google Play. Fares are displayed before each trip is confirmed, and electronic receipts are issued automatically at the end of every journey. To mark its launch in Copenhagen, Green SM is offering new customers five (5) vouchers worth 25% off each trip, up to a maximum discount of 100 DKK per ride throughout the Grand Launch period from July 30 to September 30, 2026.

Richard Nabil Chahine, CEO of Green SM Europe, said: “Cities shape the future of mobility long before companies do. Copenhagen is one of those cities. That is why beginning our European journey here carries special meaning for Green SM. We come with deep respect for the standards already established here, drawing on what we have learned from serving millions of journeys across Asia. Our ambition is simple: to become a trusted mobility partner by delivering safe, professional and fully electric journeys that people can rely on every day. If we earn that trust, growth will naturally follow.”

Green SM’s expansion into Europe reflects the company’s long-term approach to international growth. Rather than prioritising rapid expansion, Green SM focuses on building well-structured local operations, adapting its services to local market needs, and earning trust through consistently reliable service.

With its fully electric fleet and low-emission operating model, Green SM hopes to contribute to Denmark’s long-standing ambitions for more sustainable mobility while providing another practical transport choice for everyday journeys.

Founded in Vietnam in 2023, Green SM currently operates in Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia, the Philippines, India and Kazakhstan. Through its fully electric fleet, technology platform and consistent operating standards, the company is steadily expanding internationally while adapting its services to local market needs.

Taiwan’s TVBS captures Sagrada Família historic ceremony

Published

on

TAIPEI, TAIWAN – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 July 2026 – The Sagrada Família in Barcelona reached a historic milestone last month with the blessing and inauguration of the Tower of Jesus Christ. The ceremony completed the central spire of architect Antoni Gaudí’s masterwork after 144 years of construction. TVBS partnered with Japan’s NHK to provide live coverage, becoming the only Taiwanese media organization granted access to report from inside the basilica.

TVBS, NHK, HTC together documented a defining milestone in the Sagrada Família’s history. TVBS cultural ambassador Lin Chi-ling joined the reporting team in Barcelona.

The collaboration marks a significant moment for Taiwan’s international media presence, as the completion of Gaudí’s vision draws global attention to one of the world’s most visited cultural landmarks. NHK has documented the construction of the Sagrada Família for decades, building a relationship of trust with the basilica’s team that enabled joint coverage.

TVBS crews filmed in areas rarely accessible to media, including the crypt where Gaudí is buried, architectural workshops, and key structural sections of the basilica. The team conducted interviews with architects and experts involved in the project during preparations for the inauguration ceremony. Construction on the church began in 1882, one year before Gaudí took over as chief architect.

Taiwanese actress Lin Chi-ling joined the reporting team in Barcelona as a cultural ambassador for the project. Lin met with architects and experts to explore the basilica through the perspectives of architecture, aesthetics, and cultural heritage. Her involvement added a cultural dimension to the coverage beyond conventional architectural reporting.

The coverage brought together partners from Taiwan’s technology and financial sectors. HTC, through its VIVE Arts initiative, contributed its immersive experience “Gaudí, the Atelier of the Divine.” The virtual reality program allows audiences to explore Gaudí’s architectural world in new ways, transcending geographical and physical boundaries.

TS Financial Holding Co., Ltd., which has long supported arts and cultural exchange, sponsored the live broadcast. The company cited values of integrity, innovation, and sustainability in joining the project. The cross-sector collaboration extended Taiwan’s cultural advocacy onto the international stage, connecting the 144-year architectural endeavor to audiences in Taiwan and Chinese-speaking communities worldwide.

TVBS integrated AI-powered real-time translation technology throughout the live coverage, facilitating multilingual communication across international production teams. The project showcased Taiwan’s ability to connect industries and communities across borders. TVBS, NHK, HTC, and TS Financial Holding Co., Ltd., together documented a defining milestone in the Sagrada Família’s history.
