(SeaPRwire) - 著名投资者兼 Berkshire Hathaway 首席执行官沃伦·巴菲特（Warren Buffett）在减持 Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) 股份方面采取了重大举动。这一决定引起了投资者和市场分析师的关注，因为巴菲特一直是这家银行巨头的长期支持者。出售 Berkshire Hathaway 持有的 Bank of America 股份的41%，是巴菲特将其投资理念与资本重新配置到更高增长机会相契合的战略举措。
鉴于巴菲特在识别被低估公司和实现可观回报方面的成功记录，他的投资策略一直备受关注。他决定出售部分 Bank of America 股份，引发了人们对其对银行业和更广泛金融业前景的疑问。虽然出售的具体原因只有巴菲特及其团队知晓，但市场猜测此举可能受到不断变化的监管环境以及利率波动可能影响银行业盈利能力的因素。
尽管进行了出售，Berkshire Hathaway 仍持有 Bank of America 的大量股份，表明巴菲特对该公司的长期前景仍抱有信心。Bank of America 一直是 Berkshire 投资组合的重要组成部分，多年来为其财务成功做出了贡献。然而，减持股份的决定可能暗示着将重心转向其他可能带来更有前景增长轨迹的行业或公司。
此次出售也凸显了巴菲特对维持多元化投资组合的承诺。通过重新配置资本，他确保 Berkshire Hathaway 保持灵活性，并能很好地抓住各行业中新出现的机会。这种方法与巴菲特投资于具有强大基本面和长期增长潜力的公司的理念是一致的。
投资者和分析师现在正密切关注巴菲特接下来可能瞄准哪些行业或公司。鉴于他偏爱拥有坚实经济护城河和竞争优势的行业，巴菲特很可能会继续在科技、消费品和其他高增长领域寻找机会。他的投资决策通常是市场趋势的风向标，他最近的举动也不例外。
虽然有些人可能将此次出售视为银行业的看跌信号，但另一些人则将其解读为优化回报的战略性资源再分配。巴菲特驾驭复杂市场动态并做出明智决策的能力，证明了他在投资领域的专业知识和经验。当投资者思考此次出售的影响时，有一点仍然是肯定的：巴菲特的战略举动将继续塑造投资格局并影响市场情绪。

沃伦·巴菲特（Warren Buffett）出售其持有的 Bank of America 股份的41%的决定于2025年10月1日公布。
(SeaPRwire) - 本周由总统提出的一项20点和平计划，有望最终结束加沙地带近两年的战争，并促成哈马斯仍扣押的46名人质获释。但这同时也可能意味着以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡在以色列政府最高职位上的任期走向终结。哈马斯仍需同意周一接受的该计划，该计划最终将结束以色列的军事行动，解除哈马斯武装，并为在由特朗普领导的国际联盟监督下的巴勒斯坦管理机构下重建加沙地带铺平道路。特朗普表示，这可能是以色列总理的“巅峰成就”，但内塔尼亚胡对该计划的接受，最终可能决定他的政治前途。今年6月，内塔尼亚胡的右翼联合政府险些在一场提前选举的推动下解散，那本可能导致他的政府垮台，并将原定于2026年10月的选举提前。但到了7月，在两个党派退出联合政府后，他的政府失去了以色列议会的多数席位，他仅掌控120个席位中的50个，这在再次尝试推动提前选举时可能构成重大威胁。内塔尼亚胡所在的党派内部持续出现日益严重的分裂，其党内的强硬右翼成员威胁称，如果他在和平计划中做出任何让步，就将推翻他的政府。安全专家、犹太国家安全研究所（Jewish Institute for National Security of America）的Randi & Charles Wax高级研究员约翰·汉娜（John Hannah）告诉 Digital：“他们原以为将在战场上取得‘全面胜利’，实现全面的以色列军事占领，将数百万巴勒斯坦人流离失所到世界各地，并最终实现以色列对加沙的重新定居和吞并。”他补充说：“这项新的特朗普计划与他们所有的终极目标背道而驰——尽管，至少从纸面上看，它确实承诺满足以色列的许多核心战争目标，包括所有人质获释，解除哈马斯武装并结束其统治，以及彻底实现加沙的非军事化和去激进化。”国家安全部长伊塔马尔·本-格维尔（Itamar Ben-Gvir）——他曾因反对一项导致部分人质获释的停火和人质协议于2025年初辞职，后于3月复职——已明确表示他希望看到以色列定居点迁入并吞并加沙，并彻底消灭哈马斯。特朗普的提议，尽管没有具体为以色列定居铺平道路，但确实阻止了以色列的吞并计划，并且如果哈马斯解除武装，将给予其“赦免”和一条离开加沙的途径。周二，财政部长贝扎莱尔·斯莫特里赫（Bezalel Smotrich）谴责特朗普的计划是“彻底的外交失败”，并表示这无异于“对10月7日的所有教训视而不见、置之不理”。他在X上发帖称：“在我看来，这必将以悲剧收场。”“这是一场领导层逃避真相的悲剧。”虽然内塔尼亚胡在其党内面临巨大压力，因为一些人认为他已在安全要求上做出让步，但他同时也面临巨大的公众压力。他未能达成一项人质协议，以及他在加沙持续的侵略性军事行动，已促使许多以色列人质疑内塔尼亚胡是否优先考虑了军事行动，也许还有他的政治抱负，而非被扣押了725天的人质的返回。汉娜指出，考虑到以色列在全球舞台上日益孤立，以及国内动荡的政治局势，内塔尼亚胡不接受特朗普的计划将是“灾难性的”。他说：“为了以色列的长期安全，坦率地说，也为了内塔尼亚胡的政治前途，与美国和特朗普保持良好关系是绝对必要的。”他指出，特朗普在以色列人中的受欢迎程度高于内塔尼亚胡。支持率一再显示，如果选举在短期内举行，内塔尼亚胡不太可能赢得选举。“如果你认为预测美国大选很难，那么考虑到以色列的多党议会制度，你甚至无法想象预测以色列大选会有多难，”民主防御基金会（Foundation for Defense of Democracies）高级顾问理查德·戈德堡（Richard Goldberg）告诉 Digital。“最终，特朗普总统和内塔尼亚胡总理似乎更关注实质而非政治，达成一项能够解救所有人质、迫使哈马斯投降并保护以色列长期安全的协议。”目前尚不清楚内塔尼亚胡接受特朗普的计划将如何重塑公众对他的看法，特别是如果哈马斯也同意该计划，并且按照提案中联合协议后的规定，人质能在72小时内获释。内塔尼亚胡的主要反对派、前总理亚伊尔·拉皮德（Yair Lapid）表示，该计划成功面临的最大威胁是“是的，但是”的态度。他在X上说：“现在威胁计划的不是那些说‘不’的人，比如本-格维尔或伊朗人，而是那些说‘是的，但是’的人。”“内塔尼亚胡是‘是的，但是’方面的老练而令人疲惫的专家。通常，他在华盛顿白宫的镜头前说‘是的’，感觉自己像一位开创性的政治家，而当他回到家，‘基本盘’提醒他谁是老板时，他就会说‘但是’。”其他反对派领导人也支持内塔尼亚胡同意该计划，包括蓝白党领袖本尼·甘茨（Benny Gantz），他表示他的党派“不会让小家子气的政治来破坏该计划”。虽然目前尚不清楚如果达成协议，以色列将如何回应内塔尼亚胡，但戈德堡认为，这项协议最终对以色列来说是一场胜利。戈德堡说：“细节决定成败，我们目前缺乏细节，但从原则层面来看，这将是以色列的一次明显胜利。”“当你加上加沙的非军事化和去激进化要求，以及巴勒斯坦权力机构的根本性改革，以及沙特-以色列关系正常化的路径，所有这些核心原则和目标都与以色列的安全利益和战争目标相符。”本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。

香港，2025年10月1日 - (亚太商訊) - 近日，盈立证券发布研究报告，首次覆盖晖阳新能源（EPOW.US），给予“推荐”评级，目标价10.07美元。报告指出，该公司当前市值严重低于其内在价值与产业潜力，具备显著的长期投资价值。晖阳新能源是全球领先的负极材料生产商，客户覆盖国内多家头部电池厂商。在行业竞争激烈的环境下，公司通过持续优化石墨化等核心生产工艺、大幅提升自动化水平、加强产业链管理，成功实现降本增效。据报告披露，公司已于2025年7月至8月期间实现扭亏为盈，走出了一条利润提升与可持续发展的路径。公司上市逾四年，实体投资已超2亿美元。其核心资产之一的贵州兴义工厂占地610亩，已计入固定资产，累积对外融资金额约1亿美金。然而，截至2025年9月30日，公司总市值却不足4000万美元，与其实际投入和资产价值形成巨大反差。根据其官网实时监控显示，工厂正处于24小时三班倒的满负荷生产状态。盈立证券认为，公司的合理市值区间应在3至5亿美元，当前股价严重偏离价值，具备巨大的长期上涨空间。晖阳新能源是“省级专精特新小巨人”企业，持续获得国家级及省级专项资金支持。公司在硅碳（用于锂离子固态电池）和硬碳（用于钠离子电池）等前沿负极材料技术领域具备深厚积累。除了拥有国内及日韩近百项专利外，公司近期更获得了美国锂离子电池及AI数据中心专用储能电池的负极材料制备方法专利，全球专利布局日益完善。公司计划于2026年落地美国德克萨斯州负极材料工厂，目前正积极推进环评、人才引进等具体工作，全球化战略迈出关键一步。美国《通胀削减法案》正加速其本土电池产业链建设，埃克森美孚等巨头也宣布了巨额投资计划，为具备技术优势的中国产业链企业提供了出海良机。晖阳新能源的创始人胡海平先生是中国锂电材料行业的领军人物，作为杉杉科技的联合创始人，曾亲手操盘企业成长为千亿市值巨头，拥有深厚的产业背景、国际化视野和战略执行力。在他的带领下，晖阳新能源正致力于下一代电池材料的研发与产业化。据调研了解，胡海平先生已多次赴美，与黑石、高盛等顶级投资机构及当地新能源头部企业展开深度合作洽谈。预计美国工厂落地后，将快速获得订单并实现本地化交付，其规划中的锂电池组pack产能有望在2027年末突破1GW。未来，公司还计划将成功模式复制到马来西亚、欧洲等市场，展现出广阔的发展前景。 Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

TOKYO, Japan, Oct 1, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NTT DOCOMO, INC. and PaMeLa Inc. jointly announced today that they have developed a groundbreaking technology that integrates DOCOMO’s human-augmentation platform(TM) with PaMeLa’s brain-wave (EEG) based pain-measurement technology. The new technology estimates individual differences in pain sensitivity, allowing for the sharing of pain perception tailored to the recipient’s experience. This marks a significant milestone as the world’s first technology(*1) enabling pain sharing based on individual perception.Image of Pain SharingThis technology is fundamentally structured around three components: a sensing device that captures data related to pain, the human-augmentation platform which estimates and shares individual differences in pain sensitivity, and an actuation device that reproduces the sensation of pain.Traditionally, articulating physical and psychological pain to others has proven challenging, often leading to subjective interpretations, making objective analysis difficult. This new technology developed by DOCOMO and PaMeLa not only quantifies and visually represents the pain experienced by individuals subjected to pain stimuli through brain wave analysis but also converts this pain into a comparable level based on recipients’ sensory perception. This enables recipients to comprehend information such as “What does the ‘pain level of 50’ mean for person A compared to person B?” or “How much pain is person A currently experiencing relative to their normal state?”.By enabling the sharing of this subjective and individually varying sensation of pain, the technology holds immense potential for applications in medical diagnosis support, rehabilitation within welfare fields, and enhanced immersive experiences in entertainment fields such as XR and gaming. Furthermore, it is anticipated that this technology could provide solutions for addressing psychological harm in areas such as abusive behavior from customers to staff or defamation on social media, where damage is often difficult to visualize.Going forward, DOCOMO and PaMeLa are committed to advancing this technology towards practical application and fostering a new communication culture, ultimately contributing to a society where individuals can lead richer, more fulfilling lives.Additionally, this innovative technology will be showcased at “CEATEC 2025,” taking place at Makuhari Messe starting October 14, 2025.*1 As of October 1, 2025, according to NTT DOCOMO’s research“Human-augmentation platform” is a trademark or registered trademark of NTT DOCOMO, INC. in Japan and other countries.About NTT DOCOMONTT DOCOMO, Japan's leading mobile operator with over 90 million subscribers, is one of the global leaders in 3G, 4G and 5G mobile network technologies.

Au recovery: 89.0%; Ag recovery: 68.0%; Cu recovery: 84.0%; Co recovery: 78.0%. * Copper Equivalent Calculation CuEq in % = ([Ag grade in ppm] *27.43*0.68/31.1035 + [Au grade in ppm] *2365.09*.89/31.1035 + 0.0001* [Co grade in ppm] *14.76*0.78*22.0462 + 0.0001* [Cu grade in ppm] *4.17*0.84*22.0462)/(4.17*22.0462*0.84).Details of the algorithm used to estimate %CuEq are presented in the notes above. The metal values used in our current algorithm are average trailing three years commodity prices, and do not reflect recent dramatic increases in prices of mineral commodities. Scandium, a potentially recoverable high value strategic alloy metal (customarily quoted as Sc2O3 ) that is present in small but possibly highly important amounts in Hat mineralization, is not assigned any value pending metallurgical investigations and recoverable results.Core samples are delivered securely to a fully accredited commercial laboratory and processed by industry-standard methods. Assays are received at irregular intervals, verified by reference to notes provided by our field crew, added to our database, and disseminated publicly by News Release.Drill holes H093, H094, H095 and H096, as shown in Figure 1, are located in proximity to hole H092 and further explore the area of high metal values (i.e. H092: 411.5m with 0.62% CuEq) in an easterly extension of the main Lisle Zone. The combination of drill hole data from H090 to H096 added an approximate domain of 330 m x 400 m to the Lisle deposit that has not been delimited in any direction. Numerous intervals from those holes are included in Table 1 of this News Release.Figure 1: Drill Plan with the Induced Polarization Plan and 2024 Conceptual Pit OutlineTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/268680_9bde46e9f41ae882_001full.jpgFigure 2: Section on H093 and H096 and 2024 Conceptual Pit OutlineTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/268680_9bde46e9f41ae882_002full.jpgA composite of Hole H093 assays from16.3m to 693m comprises 676.7m (2220 feet) with 0.33% CuEq. Within that long mineralized section there are several higher-grade intervals, including 63.0m (206.7 ft) with 1.88 %CuEq and 21.0m (68.9 ft) with 4.78 %CuEq and 9.0m (29.5 ft) with 9.88% CuEq.A composite of drill hole H094 assays included 107.6m (353 ft) with 0.30% CuEq, in an almost throughout mineralized hole from 30 m (98 ft) to 540 m (1772 ft ) with 0.22% CuEq.Drill hole H095 is believed to have followed in an unmineralized fault that does not represent the limit of mineralization; the drill hole did not leave the fault.Mr. Farshad Shirvani, President and CEO, comments that: We believe that the previously disclosed assays, combined with assays presented in this News Release and, speculatively, additional data from core samples that are being processed in the laboratory, will further reinforce our conceptual mineral deposit model, promote resources from Indicated and Inferred categories to higher confidence levels, including Measured, and require re-design of the current open pit layout. The new drill holes will be added in a revised MRE (Maiden Resource Estimate 2025) and the PEA (Preliminary Economic Assessment) that is on-going. Drill holes H093, H094 and H095 have contributed greatly to achieving new dimensions in the eastern part of the Hat deposit. This exciting new area necessitates a vigorous follow up that is currently on our agenda. Both the "footprint" and value of our project have been greatly increased, not only by the expansion but also by the recent dramatic increase in metal, mineral and commodity prices."Initial scoping of the implications of this new assay information allowed our field crew to revise and re-direct our efforts to concentrate on better defining the deposit. We hope to release further drill hole assay data soon."Table 2 summarizes coordinates of the recent drill holes.Table 2.

Increasing the number of branches, developing new financial products, expediting its loan portfolio expansion: Turbo's aim is to become a leading retail financial services provider.BANGKOK, Oct 1, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Ngernturbo PCL (TURBO), a retail financial service provider, is set to drive its growth following the Company’s first day of trading on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET: TURBO). TURBO highlights the exponential growth in its loan portfolio, surmounting all economic hurdles for profitability exceeding the industry average. The Company is also determined to expand its branch network to at least 1,457 locations by 2029, in parallel with the development of new financial products and services. This plan is expected to further enhance the Company’s overall loan portfolio and contribute to continued growth. The objective for TURBO is to become a leading national retail financial service provider.Mr. Sutach Ruangsuttipap, CEO of TURBO, remarked, "While the Company's shares began trading on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) on Sept 30, in the FIN (Financial & Securities) Sector, and the FINCIAL (Financial) industry group under the symbol 'TURBO', the listing follows a successful IPO (initial public offering) of 537 million shares at 1.50 baht per share, which attracted overwhelming interest from both institutional and retail investors. This success reflects confidence in TURBO's business operations and growth potential, which will make us one of the most sought-after stocks upon listing."Following the SET listing, TURBO aims to build on its success, becoming a leading national retail financial service provider, and achieving strong growth through several key strategies. 1. Building the brand as the No.1 choice for customers, with the emphasis on speed, convenience, and quality of service to ensure a high level of customer satisfaction and word-of-mouth referrals. 2. Developing the Company’s IT systems. TURBO maintains a strategy of building on its in-house technology team which can quickly develop specific IT systems most suitable for the organization. The Company prioritizes the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to enhance efficiency in every work process. 3. Enhancing customer convenience by expanding branch coverage nationwide, with the aim of establishing no less than 1,475 branches by the year 2029. The plan is to develop better access to comprehensive financial products to ensure more extensive coverage. 4. Developing a diverse range of products to meet the differentiated needs of customers, such as increasing the types of loan collateral, expanding insurance product lines, and increasing the number of insurance partners, etc.“I am confident that after our listing on the SET, TURBO will achieve stronger growth and generate more sustainable returns for shareholders, driven by customer-centric financial services, customer satisfaction, word-of-mouth referrals, together with the use of specially developed IT systems. All these processes will help to ensure that TURBO will be able to quickly adapt to any situation and maintain low operating costs in the long term,” Mr. Sutach added.In 2023 and 2024 fiscal years, the Group's total revenues were 2,430.7 million baht and 3,033.2 million baht. That translated into a 24.8% increase, with net profits of 131.7 million baht and 141.6 million baht, a 7.5% annual increase.For the first six months (January - June) of 2025, combined revenue reached 1,517.6 million baht, a 3.7% increase, and net profit was 235.9 million baht, or a 285.8% increase compared to the previous year. As of June 30, 2025, the net interest margin was 19.8%, higher than the industry average(1) of 15.1%. Moreover, the net income after deducting expected credit losses to net loan receivables averaged 21.8%, higher than the industry average of 18.0%.Mr. Paiboon Nalinthrangkurn, CEO of TISCO Securities Co Ltd, the lead-underwriter, and representative of TISCO Bank PCL, stated that TURBO has high growth potential, driven by the non-financial institutional retail loan market scenario, which has grown significantly from 220 billion baht in 2018 to 630 billion baht in Q1 2025.

The Company utilizes technology to drive the organization in every process for efficient operations, resulting in impressive results and a high 20.7% word-of-mouth referral rate among customers.
