As of the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had delivered 56 autonomous mining trucks to a mining site, operating alongside approximately 500 manned trucks to form the world's largest mixed-operation mining fleet.Enhanced efficiency directly translates into customer return on investment, driving scalable product sales. As of 30 June 2025, the Company has delivered 414 autonomous mining trucks and/or standalone autonomous truck systems to customers, while securing indicative orders for additional 647 units/systems.Through large-scale commercial deployment, CiDi has established its position as a global leader in autonomous driving for closed environments. Based on 2024 revenue, the Company ranks among the top three in China's autonomous mining truck solutions market. Furthermore, as a benchmark enterprise pursuing a Hong Kong Stock Exchange listing under the "Specialist Technology" category, its status itself signifies capital markets' strong recognition of its leading position in the autonomous driving sector.Growth Potential: From Mining Sites to Enclosed Parks, From China to the WorldBuilding upon its consolidated and expanded mining strengths and leveraging its proven technological framework and operational expertise in closed environments, CiDi is progressively expanding into broader markets, unlocking significant growth potential.Currently, its autonomous logistics vehicle solutions have been deployed within enclosed industrial parks, delivering core functionalities akin to its mining solutions while adapting to specific logistics demands such as cargo handling, complex navigation, and mixed pedestrian traffic. Its V2X technology may also play a distinctive role in future vehicle-road cooperative intelligent transport networks.Vertically, CiDi is accelerating its international expansion, exporting products and services to high-demand overseas markets. The Company has already established preliminary cooperative relationships with multiple overseas clients to initiate projects. According to CIC forecasts, the market size of global commercial vehicle intelligent driving is projected to grow from RMB10 billion in 2024 to RMB1,614.4 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 133.3%. CiDi's global expansion strategy positions it to seize early opportunities within this expanding market.From technological foundation-building to business model monetisation and scenario expansion, CiDi has carved out a differentiated development path within the autonomous driving industry. By building core barriers through its full-stack technology, its commercialization experience in mining areas serves as a critical validation of value, while extending into more scenarios and global markets unlocks the potential for long-term growth. In a rapidly evolving technological landscape and an accelerating market, this enterprise, possessing both technical depth and commercial acumen, is steadily advancing towards becoming a globally influential provider of intelligent logistics solutions.

USAS Building System Advances Toward Hong Kong Listing: A Top-Three Industrial Prefabricated Steel Structure Solution Provider, with an Emerging Overseas Growth Curve

HONG KONG, December 29, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – With manufacturing investment gradually recovering and the pace of industrial project construction continuing to advance, industrial buildings are accelerating toward standardised and prefabricated development. Against this backdrop, the application of industrial prefabricated steel structure buildings in manufacturing plants and large-scale industrial projects has continued to expand. As the listing process enters its final stage, USAS Building System (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (the “Company” or “USAS”) is set to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 30 December, and the industrial prefabricated steel structure sub-sector in which it operates is coming into the capital market's view.Industrial prefabricated steel structure buildings are a typical sub-sector of industrial construction. Demand is mainly derived from manufacturing plants and industrial projects, where higher requirements are placed on construction efficiency and delivery capability. Compared with residential and commercial buildings, industrial buildings place greater emphasis on construction efficiency, structural stability and compatibility with production systems. Continued capacity expansion across manufacturing sectors such as automotive, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, machinery and electronics, and logistics has strengthened the industrial nature of prefabricated steel structure buildings in industrial projects.In response to such demand, USAS has formed a relatively clear business positioning. The prospectus shows that the Company is not a single steel structure fabricator, but rather an integrated prefabricated steel structure building solution provider focused on the industrial sector, providing full-process subcontracting services for industrial plants and manufacturing projects, covering design optimisation, procurement, manufacturing and on-site installation. According to the Frost & Sullivan Report, by revenue in 2024, USAS ranked third in China's industrial prefabricated steel structure building market. Against the backdrop of an overall fragmented industry, USAS has established a relatively clear industry position.From an operating perspective, the Company has established a stable business foundation. The prospectus discloses that from 2022 to 2024, USAS recorded revenue of approximately RMB1.903 billion, RMB1.453 billion and RMB1.523 billion, respectively, maintaining an overall scale at the level of over RMB1 billion. Among these, prefabricated steel structure building subcontracting services are the core source of revenue. In 2024, revenue from this business was approximately RMB1.241 billion, accounting for 81.5% of total revenue, reflecting the Company's high degree of focus on its industrial prefabricated steel structure core business.In terms of profitability structure, the Company presents typical characteristics of an industrial project-based model. From 2022 to 2024, the Company's overall gross profit margin was 12.7%, 14.8% and 12.5%, respectively, while the gross profit margin of the core subcontracting business remained in the range of 13%–15% over the long term. In 2025, as certain large-scale industrial projects progressed in a concentrated manner, the Company achieved revenue of approximately RMB1.424 billion in the first half of the year, reflecting the impact of project execution cycles on the release of interim performance.From a medium- to long-term industry perspective, the penetration rate of prefabricated steel structures in China's industrial building sector remains at a relatively low level. Manufacturing investment upgrades, demand for compressed construction timelines and the continued advancement of green building policies provide a practical demand foundation for the industry. At the same time, emerging manufacturing bases such as Southeast Asia are accelerating the undertaking of global capacity relocation, which also brings new sources of projects for enterprises with cross-regional delivery capabilities.Against this backdrop, USAS's overseas business footprint has gradually become more evident. The prospectus discloses that revenue from the Company's industrial environmental equipment business is mainly derived from overseas markets. Revenue from this segment increased from approximately RMB31.82 million in 2022 to approximately RMB100 million in 2024, while its gross profit margin increased to 18.9% over the same period. This business has covered multiple overseas markets and has obtained certifications in China, the United States, Europe and Canada, providing conditions and support for cross-regional project execution.Following its listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, USAS is expected to leverage the capital market platform to further consolidate its industry position in the industrial prefabricated steel structure segment. With its established industrial customer base, stable project delivery capabilities and a gradually expanding overseas business footprint, the Company has a practical foundation to continue advancing in undertaking industrial projects, optimising its business structure and enhancing scalable operational capabilities.

Taxinexo Advances Large-Scale Commercial Deployment of Level 4 Autonomous Vehicles Across the United States

NEW YORK, Dec 26, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Taxinexo, a U.S.-based autonomous vehicle operator, has entered a new phase of large-scale commercial deployment after nearly five years of continuous operation in the United States. Leveraging its mature Level 4 autonomous driving technology and proven operational capabilities, the company has expanded multi-scenario services across several U.S. states, positioning itself as a representative case of how federal and state policy coordination is accelerating the commercialization of autonomous driving in the U.S. smart mobility sector.Since its inception, Taxinexo's growth trajectory has been deeply intertwined with the US autonomous driving industry's policy support system. The US federal government, through national strategic documents such as the Comprehensive Autonomous Vehicle Initiative, has established a development orientation of "safety first, encouraging innovation," providing companies with a flexible regulatory environment—including simplified administrative exemption procedures for autonomous vehicles, allowing steering wheel-less and pedal-less vehicles that meet technical standards to be tested and operated on public roads, significantly lowering the policy threshold for companies to iterate their technology. Meanwhile, the Inflation Reduction Act's tax credit of up to $7,500 per vehicle for Level 3 and above autonomous driving vehicles further assisted Taxinexo in completing its R&D investment and fleet expansion, enabling it to achieve large-scale commercial operation in multiple states across the US. This has allowed it to accumulate millions of kilometers of real-world road operation data and build an operational network covering diverse scenarios such as urban main roads, business parks, and commuter shuttles.In an interview with this newspaper, Taxinexo's Global Marketing Head stated, "The policy support in the US over the past five years has provided us with an excellent development platform. From technology R&D to commercialization, the flexible regulatory environment and precise policy support have allowed us to accumulate core capabilities to handle complex scenarios. In the future, we will continue to leverage local policy advantages, deepen our diversified scenario operation layout, and help promote the US autonomous driving industry towards a more efficient and safer stage."Data shows that the US autonomous driving industry is rapidly expanding, with leading companies continuously increasing their fleet sizes and weekly order volume exceeding hundreds of thousands, indicating a broad commercial prospect for the industry.Taxinexo reportedly plans to further expand its service coverage in the United States based on its existing operations, focusing on high-frequency travel scenarios such as airport shuttles and intercity commuting, and will continue to increase investment in technology research and development to promote the iterative upgrade of its autonomous driving system. In the future, its large-scale operational experience may provide a replicable practice model for the intelligent transportation upgrades of more cities in the United States.Social LinksTelegram: https://t.me/taxinexoX: https://x.com/taxinexoFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61585301312596Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taxinexoLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/taxinexo/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@taxinexoMedia contactBrand: TaxinexoContact: Media teamWebsite: https://www.taxinexo.com Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

BCQ (01963.HK) to Pay RMB 585 Million Cash Dividend, Driving Share Price and Yield Upside

HONG KONG, December 25, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – December 22, Bank of Chongqing Co., Ltd. (601963.SH, 01963.HK, hereinafter “BCQ” or “the Bank”) announced, it will distribute cash dividends totaling RMB 585 million based on its total ordinary share capital of 3.475 billion ordinary shares outstanding as of September 30, 2025. The dividend payout represents 11.99% of net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders.Since the release of China’s new capital market guidelines (often referred to as the “New Nine Measures”), BCQ has implemented interim dividends following the third quarter for the second consecutive year, underscoring its commitment to enhancing shareholder returns. This move further validates the resilience of its operating performance, improves its valuation recognition, and strengthens its appeal to middle-to-long-term investors.Over the past two years, the banking sector has transitioned from a “cyclical trading” approach to a “dividend-driven allocation” paradigm, with high-dividend strategies becoming a core investment theme. Supported by sustained and stable profitability, BCQ’s dividend yields for A-shares and H-shares exceeded 3.8% and 5.7%, respectively. Benefiting from both dividend attributes of bank stocks and rising market sentiment, as of December 24, the Bank’s A-share and H-share prices recorded year-to-date gains of 23.1% and 39.18%, respectively.The bank also recently announced that its personal deposit balance surpassed RMB 300 billion, reaching a historic high. This strengthened funding base enhances its earnings resilience across cycles. Continuous and milestone breakthroughs signify that the bank has ascended to a brand-new level in terms of comprehensive strength, market position, and service capabilities, paving the way for broader growth prospects in the future.Double-Digit Growth in Revenue and Net Profit, Total Assets Exceed RMB 1 TrillionAccording to its 2025 third-quarter report, as of the end of September 2025, BCQ’s total assets reached RMB 1.0227 trillion, representing an increase of over 19% YoY, and marking its entry into the “trillion-asset club” among city commercial banks.Driven by steady scale expansion, the Bank achieved a significant improvement in profitability, delivering its strongest performance in nearly nine years. Operating revenue and net profit for the first three quarters of 2025, recorded double-digit growth of 10.40% and 10.42% YoY, reaching RMB 11.74 billion and RMB 5.196 billion, respectively. Performance accelerated notably in the third quarter, with operating revenue rising 17.38% YoY to RMB 4.081 billion, and net profit attributable to shareholders increasing 20.54% to RMB 1.690 billion, indicating an accelerated growth rate and the continued enhancement of profitability. Moreover, in the first three quarters, operating and administrative expenses amounted to RMB 2.810 billion, up 9.90% YoY, lower than revenue growth. The cost-to-income ratio declined by 0.11 ppts to 23.93%, indicating steadily improving operating efficiency.Its asset quality also continued to strengthen. As of the end of the third quarter of 2025, the non-performing loan (NPL) ratio declined to 1.14%, down 0.11 ppts from the beginning of the year. Risk coverage has become more robust, with the provision coverage ratio rising to 248.11%, up 3.03 ppts from the beginning of the year, providing a solid buffer for sustainable and stable operations.Strong Secondary Market Performance, Leading A- and H-shares Gains Among PeersThe combination of regional strategic tailwinds and improving fundamentals continues to drive valuation recovery for this first mainland city commercial bank listed in Hong Kong.Since the beginning of the year, the Bank has delivered strong performance in the secondary market. As of December 24, its A-shares closed at RMB 10.96 per share, representing a gain of 23.1% YTD. Its H-shares closed at HKD 7.96 per share, with a gain of 39.18% YTD, ranking among the top performers in the domestic banking sector.In terms of shareholder returns, the Bank has distributed third-quarter dividends for two consecutive years, paying RMB 1.684 per 10 shares (tax inclusive), with total cash dividends of RMB 585 million (tax inclusive), accounting for 11.99% of net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders.The Bank’s operating performance has also received positive ratings from multiple securities firms. After the third-quarter results, over ten institutions, including China Galaxy Securities, China Merchants Securities, Shenwan Hongyuan Securities, and Guotai Haitong Securities, issued research reports, generally assigning “Buy,” “Accumulate,” or “Outperform” ratings for the Bank. Shenwan Hongyuan Securities noted that, supported by both regional development opportunities and improving fundamentals, alongside proactive management and clear strategic objectives, BCQ has strong momentum for valuation recovery and maintained a “Buy” rating. Guosen Securities emphasized that the Chengdu–Chongqing region, as a convergence zone for multiple national strategies, provides a solid foundation for the Bank’s sustained growth, and, combined with improving asset quality and stabilizing and rebounding net interest margins, assigned an “Outperform” rating for the Bank upon initial coverage.

全球AGI第一股即將來襲!MiniMax過聆訊 以普惠之力撬動千億市場

香港, 2025年12月24日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 近年來,全球人工智慧行業經歷了一輪前所未有的快速擴張。作為行業發展的核心方向,通用人工智慧(AGI)正從實驗室走向產業化落地。與此同時,行業格局也迎來深刻的結構性變革,早期「百模大戰」的野蠻生長時代已然落幕,市場從數量競爭轉向質量競爭,行業集中度持續大幅提升。真正具備持技術實力、並已驗證商業化路徑的公司,正從過往的喧囂中脫穎而出。在這場行業洗牌中,MiniMax 無疑是站到最後的核心玩家之一。作為全球僅有的四家具備全模態自研能力的企業,它憑借技術硬實力與高效商業化表現,成為AGI賽道的領軍者。12 月 21日, MiniMax通過港交所聆訊,距港股上市僅一步之遙,有望成為「全球 AGI 第一股」,為投資者提供參與AGI產業爆發的稀缺良機。行業標杆:從「百模大戰」到「全球唯四」,技術護城河難以複製MiniMax從其誕生之日起便帶著深刻的「AGI原生」基因。在行業普遍面臨「燒錢」質疑與短期變現壓力時,公司放棄短期流量玩法,選擇了一條更為艱難但上限更高的「技術驅動」之路。這份戰略定力,最終沉澱為堅實的技術護城河。與從單一模態切入的大多數企業不同,MiniMax自創立以來即專注於拓展全模態能力,是全球最早全面佈局大模型研發的公司之一。這一選擇,使公司在行業仍聚焦單一模態時,就已提前進入真實世界智能的研發路徑。目前,MiniMax在文本、視頻和語音等多個領域均推出具有全球競爭力的大規模商用大模型成為包括OpenAI、Google在內的全球唯四全模態進入第一梯隊的公司,也是唯一一家創業公司,其稀缺性不言而喻。在權威測評中,其語音模型 Speech 02 力壓國際巨頭位列全球第一,視頻模型 Hailuo 02 在 Artificial Analysis 視頻評測中排名全球第二, 2025年10月新發佈並開源的文本模型 MiniMax M2 發佈即躋身全球前五、開源第一,成為首個躋身全球前五的中國開源大模型。。更重要的是,MiniMax將技術重點放在可擴展性,其底層技術路線從一開始就圍繞著AGI長期演進方向而設計。公司通過算法創新,在顯著提升模型能力的同時,有效降低訓練和推理成本。同時,MiniMax並未將技術局限於演算法層,而是同步構建高度可擴展的AI基礎架構,能夠根據實際要求,在模型訓練和日常運行之間靈活調配算力資源,大幅提升整體資源利用率。在算力成本持續高企的行業環境下,這種高度可擴展的技術體系,使MiniMax能夠在保持模型性能持續提升的同時,實現更低的邊際成本與更強的規模化交付能力,確保持商業可行性。也正因如此,其全模態模型得以在文本、語音、視頻等多個方向同步推進,而非被算力與成本所掣肘。以MiniMax M2為例,該產品推理速度是國際同行的近兩倍,而定價僅為其 8%,實現了性能與成本的最優平衡,真正踐行了「普惠 AI」的核心理念。商業落地:已驗證的全球化增長飛輪對AI公司而言,技術是否能夠轉化為可持續收入,是資本市場最核心的評判標準之一。MiniMax並未停留在技術想像階段,已構建起「模型即產品」的獨特商業模式,形成了覆蓋個人使用者、企業客戶與開發者的多元產品與服務體系,實現了技術領先向商業價值的高效轉化。一方面,MiniMax通過AI原生產品矩陣服務全球使用者,付費模式涵蓋訂閱、應用內購買與增值服務,隨著模型能力提升,使用者付費意願與單用戶價值同步增長;另一方面,公司通過開放平臺向企業與開發者提供模型能力,API調用與定制化服務逐步形成規模化收入來源。在 C 端市場,MiniMax 的自研全模態模型及 AI 原生應用已累計為來自超過 200 個國家及地區的逾 2.12 億名個人用戶提供服務。其旗下AI視頻創作平臺海螺 AI,憑藉電影級畫質與高效創作體驗,通過口碑自然傳播快速席捲全球,不僅積累了超10000名頂級AI藝術家/創作者生態,更與戛納電影節、上海國際電影節等國際節展,以及紐約大學藝術學院、中國傳媒大學等頂尖院校開展深度合作,聯合孵化眾多優質 AIGC 短片作品。根據灼識諮詢的數據,其海螺AI通過用戶的自然增長迅速成為全球最受歡迎的AI視頻創作平臺之一;Talkie/星野按截至2025年9月30日止九個月內平均月活躍用戶計為全球第二大AI原生交互平臺,其憑藉千萬級虛擬角色儲備與高擬真情感交互能力,在海外市場形成現象級傳播,成為眾多用戶的首選 AI 陪伴產品。在 B 端市場,公司開放平臺服務覆蓋全球100多個國家和地區的10 萬家企業客戶與開發者,日均處理超萬億 Token 請求,不僅接入阿里巴巴、騰訊、小米等國內巨頭,更獲得Google、亞馬遜、微軟三大國際雲廠商同步上線支持,B端毛利率高達 69.4%,商業化能力經受全球市場檢驗。從 2023 年到 2025 年 9 月,MiniMax平均MAU從 310 萬飆升至 2760 萬,增長近 9 倍。更具說服力的是,其使用者增長主要依靠產品力驅動的自然增長與口碑傳播,而非高昂的買量。得益於用戶規模的增長,MiniMax收入從2023年的346萬美元,增至2024年的3052萬美元,2025年前9個月,公司收入達到5344萬美元,已大幅超過2024年全年,同比增加174.7%,進一步證明了其「技術突破-產品體驗能力躍升 -使用者/客戶增長與付費意願提升-收入規模增長」的商業正循環已然成型。且其收入全為可持續性收入,截至2025年前9個月貿易應收款項周轉天數僅為38天,收入質量優異。盈利方面, 2023年至2024年,MiniMax毛利率從-24.7%大幅優化至12.2%,並於2025年前9個月提升至23.3%,呈持續向好態勢。在收入大幅增長的同時,2025年前9個月公司經調整淨虧損僅小幅上升8.6%。這意味著公司每單位收入對應的虧損額大幅下降了60%,「虧損率」持續大幅收窄,意味其正式進入高品質、規模化的擴張軌道。這條從技術到收入的清晰路徑,為上市後的盈利路徑提供了堅實支撐。展望未來,隨著AI對GDP的拉動效應逐步顯現,行業將迎來爆發式增長。而市場格局的持續集中,將使像MiniMax這樣已建立起技術、產品、商業化綜合壁壘的頭部玩家,獲得更大的市場份額與更強的定價權。MiniMax累計僅花費5億美元,就實現全模態全球領先,展現出極高的資本利用效率;賬上11億美元現金儲備可支持超53個月運營,上市並非為「輸血」而是進軍全球市場的「門票」。其全模態的技術積累具備高度複用性,可向更廣泛的場景遷移,持續享受行業增長紅利。在這場席捲全球的AI革命中,MiniMax的故事才剛剛開始,其未來表現值得市場持續高度關注。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

香港, 2025年12月23日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 在資本市場中,董秘是連接上市公司與投資者的核心紐帶,其專業能力直接關係到公司治理透明度、投資者信任度與市場價值傳遞效率。2025年12月22日,國內領先的殯葬及生命科技服務提供者福壽園(01448.HK)再添榮譽--公司董秘祝啟銘先生成功斬獲格隆匯年度「金格獎」之「年度卓越董秘」稱號。這一榮譽不僅是對祝啟銘先生個人專業素養的高度認可,更折射出福壽園在行業轉型期堅守公司治理本質、持續優化投資者關係的堅實實力。一、格隆匯年度「金格獎」揭曉:福壽園祝啟銘躋身「年度卓越董秘」行列2025年12月22日,中國領先的全球投資研究平台格隆匯以線上形式舉辦「科技賦能·資本破局」主題分享會。作為活動的核心環節,格隆匯「金格獎」年度卓越公司評選榜單正式揭曉,其中「年度卓越董秘」獎項覆蓋港股、A股、美股三大市場的中國上市公司,最終愛爾眼科吳士君、福壽園(01448.HK)祝啟銘、海信家電張裕欣等8位董秘(按公司首字母順序排列,排名不分先後)憑藉突出的年度表現脫穎而出。(圖片來源:公開資料)這一獎項的分量,源於主辦方格隆匯的行業權威性。成立於2014年的格隆匯,前瞻的提出「全球視野,下注中國」理念,覆蓋港、美、A三大市場,該平台專注為投資者與企業提供一站式投資融資服務,旗下產品矩陣完善,行業公信力突出。作為格隆匯核心評選IP--「金格獎」已連續舉辦6年,這一個在境內外資本市場權威且有影響力的評選,見證了中國企業的資本成長。而區別于普通商業獎項,其以「打造投資圈最具參考價值榜單」為目標,採用「定量資料+專家評審」雙維度體系:定量考核信息披露、股權管理等硬性指標;定性由資深分析師、機構投資者等組成評審團,評估公司治理、股東價值維護等軟性能力。這套嚴謹的評選機制,使「年度卓越董秘」成為衡量董秘專業能力的行業標杆準則之一。「年度卓越董秘」獎項的設立,並非單純表彰董秘的行政事務能力,更旨在凸顯其作為上市公司「資本市場外交官」「投資者價值視窗」的核心角色--董秘既是公司治理的「守護者」,確保信息披露準確合規;也是投資者關係的「溝通者」,搭建公司與市場之間的信任橋樑;更是股東價值的「傳遞者」,讓投資者清晰感知公司長期發展邏輯。祝啟銘先生此次獲獎,正是對其2025年在上述維度持續深耕與卓越貢獻的高度認可。二、福壽園的長期價值底座:穩健根基與治理升級董秘的專業表現離不開公司基本面與治理體系的雙重支撐,扎實的業績根基為價值傳遞賦予底氣,而主動的治理升級則為高效履職提供保障。作為殯葬及生命科技服務龍頭,福壽園在2025年行業調整期中展現出強勁的經營韌性,公司憑藉「高現金、低負債」的財務結構,築牢了風險抵禦能力,即便在中期業績承壓的背景下,仍堅持宣派1.62億港元股息,以實際行動回饋股東信任,彰顯了穩健經營與股東回報並重的發展理念。在公司治理層面,2025年12月福壽園設立聯席總裁制度,金磊屹先生與馬劍亭先生獲委任為聯席總裁。擁有逾20年公墓運營與管理經驗的金磊屹先生,主導業務拓展與數位化轉型,負責公司戰略規劃、市場拓展;自2020年起擔任CFO的馬劍亭先生,負責統籌財務管控、供應鏈管理與品牌建設。二人與董秘祝啟銘先生經驗豐富、專業互補,三方合力形成「業務+財務+資本」的協同效應,推動公司管理架構向年輕化、專業化、集體化方向持續升級。不難看出,福壽園穩健的經營基本面與優化的治理結構,為祝啟銘先生發揮專業能力提供了堅實基礎,而董秘的出色表現又進一步提升了公司資本市場認可度,最終實現「公司實力-董秘專業-市場信任」的正向循環。結尾部分在當前行業轉型的大背景下,福壽園不僅凸顯出強勁的經營韌性,更通過治理結構升級的舉措,彰顯了上市公司的責任與擔當。此次祝啟銘先生榮獲「年度卓越董秘」,不僅是對其個人專業能力的肯定,更將成為福壽園進一步提升治理水準、釋放業務與資本協同效能、彰顯長期投資價值的新起點。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.
