HONG KONG, Apr 2, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Across the landscape of global biotech companies, the appointment of a senior executive often serves as a "barometer"—offering insights into a company's pipeline potential and reflecting how industry veterans gauge the sector’s future.A clear signal of the company’s growth arrived in February 2026, when HighTide Therapeutics (2511.HK) announced a high-profile executive appointment: Dr. Filip Surmont joined the company as Chief Medical Officer (CMO).For professionals in the cardiovascular, renal, and metabolic fields, this is a name that carries real weight. Over a career spanning three decades, Dr. Surmont has held senior medical leadership roles at multinational giants including Wyeth, Pfizer, and AstraZeneca. Among his most notable contributions was his role in the global strategic development of the SGLT-2 inhibitor dapagliflozin — a landmark effort that required close collaboration across functions and geographies within a large multinational organization. As part of a talented cross-functional team, he helped shape the strategy that positioned dapagliflozin as a global metabolic blockbuster, ultimately reaching $8.405 billion USD in sales in 2025.Notably, just a few months earlier, HighTide Therapeutics' core product, HTD1801, had outperformed dapagliflozin across multiple key cardiovascular, renal, and metabolic endpoints in a head-to-head Phase III clinical trial for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).For Dr. Surmont, transitioning from managing a reigning "blockbuster" to joining a “challenger” Chinese biotech was far from coincidental. What drew him out of his comfort zone was not just HTD1801's strong glucose-lowering performance, but also the breakthrough potential this new molecular entity (NME) has shown in cardiovascular, kidney and metabolic (CKM) disease in general, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) more specifically — driven by a fundamentally differentiated pathophysiological mechanisms.I.Challenging Clinical Complacency in CKD: The Quest for True ReversalWithin the medical community, chronic kidney disease (CKD) has long been a source of frustration. Once the kidney function begins to decline, it typically deteriorates progressively and irreversibly over time, leaving most patients facing dialysis or kidney transplantation as an eventual outcome."There has long been a degree of complacency in CKD treatment among physicians, patients, and even caregivers," Dr. Surmont noted pointedly. "A mindset has taken hold that the progressive decline in renal function with age is inevitable. I’ve been striving to change this mindset throughout my career, both during my time at multinational pharmaceutical companies and now."Current standard treatments — including ACE inhibitors/ARBs and the widely used SGLT-2 inhibitors — have demonstrated efficacy in slowing disease progression, yet fall short of halting or reversing the underlying pathology. They can significantly reduce the rate of decline in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), buying patients valuable time, but fail to alter the terminal trajectory towards kidney failure.Further complicating the clinical picture is the multi-factorial nature of CKD. Taking diabetic kidney disease (DKD) caused by T2DM as an example, besides pathophysiological factors driven by metabolic dysfunction, it is complicated by interconnected and highly complex factors such as hemodynamic perturbances, chronic inflammation, fibrosis, and other non-diabetic factors that fuel each other to worsen disease prognosis.Existing standard-of-care drugs often address only one dimension of the disease by regulating hemodynamics or a single metabolic pathway, making it difficult to comprehensively address the inflammatory damage in the renal microenvironment.II.Inside the Mechanism: Remodeling Renal Architecture via a Dual Metabolic and Anti-inflammatory PathwayThe emergence of HTD1801 provides a new key to breaking this deadlock.As an oral anti-inflammatory and metabolic modulator (AIMM) independently developed by HighTide Therapeutics, HTD1801 demonstrates a unique therapeutic potential at the microscopic level as compared to traditional drugs. Rather than relying on a single mechanism, it takes a "two-pronged" approach by activating AMPK (adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase) and inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome.Dr. Surmont has full confidence in the scientific logic underpinning this mechanism: "This drug acts simultaneously on two critical levels: beyond blood sugar, it improves overall metabolic efficiency at its source; at the same time, it directly suppresses the underlying chronic inflammation that drives organ damage."Taking a deep dive into its mechanism of action, HTD1801's dual mechanism precisely targets multiple microstructures within the kidney. "This is reflected across different renal compartments," Dr. Surmont explained. "From the filtering glomeruli and the structural interstitium to the reabsorptive tubules, and even podocytes—the vital gatekeepers of the filtration barrier, the dual action of AMPK activation and NLRP3 inhibition has demonstrated stronger-than-expected protective benefits."This mechanistic rationale, spanning from metabolic regulation to organ-level protection, has ultimately been validated by clinical data.At the 2025 American Society of Nephrology (ASN) Annual Meeting, HighTide Therapeutics presented as a late breaker Phase III clinical study data in T2DM patients with mild renal impairment. The results captured the industry's attention: compared with the placebo group, the HTD1801 group demonstrated a significant and sustainable difference in annualized eGFR slope of +9.81 ml/min/1.73 m²/year.In the eyes of nephrologists, a "positive slope" on the eGFR curve is a strong and unique signal, suggesting the possibility of early structural recovery."What we need to do next is confirm that this eGFR repair effect observed in DKD also holds true for CKD patients not driven by diabetes," Dr. Surmont revealed, indicating that relevant clinical studies are already underway, with more detailed data expected to validate this cross-etiology therapeutic potential.III.From "Rescue" to "Prevention": Advancing a Holistic Cardiorenal Metabolic (CKM) MindsetDr. Surmont brings to HighTide Therapeutics more than just clinical expertise; he brings a “game-changing” mentality that transcends a single-drug perspective.Another career-defining milestone for Dr. Surmont was his leadership role in helping reshape global asthma treatment guidelines. Historically, asthma management relied on short-acting bronchodilators for "rescue" only upon exacerbation of symptoms and shortness of breath. Dr. Surmont proposed and validated the "Anti-Inflammatory Reliever (AIR)" strategy a modern asthma management strategy that uses a combination inhaled corticosteroids and a bronchodilator as a reliever — treating both the acute bronchospasm and the underlying airway inflammation with every dose, in contrast to traditional short acting dilator-only relief. This shift ultimately benefited approximately 120 million patients worldwide and reshaped treatment paradigms.Now, facing CKD, he sees the same opportunity for a paradigm-shifting breakthrough.Given HTD1801's strong potential to repair mild renal impairment, future clinical guidelines could reasonably recommend initiating treatments early, when eGFR is still at a relatively high level. By establishing a positive trajectory for renal function recovery early in the disease, there is hope that most patients can completely avoid the looming threat of dialysis.From a health-economics perspective, this would reallocate healthcare spending: shifting funds away from costly late-stage interventions (such as dialysis and heart failure rescue) towards highly cost-effective early treatment, thereby generating substantial healthcare cost savings for society and reducing patients’ financial burden for late-stage interventions.Dr. Surmont also strongly advocates for a holistic management approach to "Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM)" health. As multifunctional drugs like HTD1801 continue to evolve, he believes physicians will move beyond the single-dimensional therapeutic mindset."My ideal scenario is that all physicians managing cardiovascular, metabolic, renal, hepatic, or even obesity issues would evaluate the patient with a holistic mindset," he says, pointing to the current siloed nature in clinical practice. " As an example eGFR monitoring is not always part of routine cardiological assessment, yet at the mechanistic level, cardiac and renal dysfunction are manifestations of the same underlying disease process — making an integrated view essential"He cited a successful experiment he led while promoting dapagliflozin in China: requiring cardiologists at partner hospitals to measure patients' eGFR during their consultations. By merely adding this simple cross-disciplinary action, the number of patients on guideline directed medical treatment tripled within six months.IV.A Buyer's Lens: The Booming BD Activity in CKD and HighTide Therapeutics’ Confidence in Value CreationAs a core member of the company's leadership team, Dr. Surmont also frequently examines HighTide Therapeutics' position through the lens of capital market and industry dynamics.Over the past two years, the global biopharmaceutical market has seen a surge in business development (BD) activity in the CKD field. In 2025, Roche announced a major collaboration with Zealand Pharma valued at up to $5.3 billion; multinational giants like Novartis, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Novo Nordisk have also been making significant investments to secure premium assets in the metabolic and renal disease space.Dr. Surmont, drawing on his extensive multinational experience, has a clear read on this "land grab" phenomenon: "The core driver is the massive profit potential and rapid growth in this field. Five years ago, the therapeutic arsenal here was relatively limited. Now, with breakthrough blockbusters like GLP-1RAs and SGLT-2i’s, the kidney disease landscape has been reshaped, yet there remains a residual risk is 60–80% of the original event burden.He further elaborated: "Even when patients are treated with four pillars of therapy (ACEi/ARBs, SGLT-2i’s, GLP-1RAs, MRAs), the complex underlying inflammatory mechanisms remain largely unaddressed, still leaving a significant gap in our ability to fully protect the kidney. This creates substantial pricing potential and broad combination therapy prospects for drugs with fundamentally new mechanisms like HTD1801.""Looking back at the history of SGLT-2 inhibitors, it took over a decade from approval to reaching 20%-25% guideline-directed clinical uptake. The slow progress was partly due to a lack of strong medical education and advocacy, and partly because of physicians and patients’ tendency to yield to the disease's natural trajectory."Now, having taken the helm as CMO of HighTide Therapeutics, Dr. Filip Surmont is poised to challenge the status quo and break this complacency with solid clinical data and a new medical narrative. For this drug—born from Chinese innovation with a global ambition—the voyage in the CKM field has only just begun. Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Apr 2, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Shoucheng Holdings’ (0697.HK) investments in the robotics sector are moving from early-stage positioning toward value realization.Management has disclosed that, by the end of 2025, the Company—through multiple industry funds under its management—had cumulatively invested more than RMB 2 billion across the broader robotics industry chain, covering more than 20 companies. According to the Chairman’s Statement for 2025, the valuation of the investment portfolio of the Beijing Robot Industry Development Investment Fund (Limited Partnership) increased by approximately fourfold. On that basis, the corresponding unrealized book gain is estimated at around RMB 8 billion. The robotics business has therefore become one of the most closely watched sources of incremental upside for Shoucheng Holdings in the near term.Based on disclosed projects, Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics strategy is not a series of isolated bets, but rather a systematic deployment across the industry chain. In the field of embodied intelligence and robotics, the Company has made concentrated investments in more than 20 leading companies, including Unitree Robotics, Noetix Robotics, Galbot, DEEP Robotics, Booster Robotics, and Galaxea AI. In the latest Chairman’s Statement, Chairman Zhao Tianyang characterized this approach as “track-level deployment”.Unlike some purely financial investors, Shoucheng Holdings is advancing its robotics business from simply “holding equity stakes” to “operating an industry”. Following an integrated path of “investment + operations + ecosystem,” the Company is building capabilities centered on “funds + scenarios + industry chain,” providing robotics companies with capital support, application scenarios, supply-chain integration, and commercialization pathways. On the offline channel side, its robotics consumer experience brand, Taozhu New Creation, has established five stores in Beijing, with locations including Shougang Park, Beijing Capital International Airport Terminals 2 and 3, and Wangfujing APM, among other core venues. To date, the Company has signed agreements with nearly 100 robotics companies as authorized agents.Market analysts note that the valuation logic for Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics business is transitioning from book valuations in the primary market toward more observable pricing in the capital markets. As a representative investment within Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics portfolio, Unitree Robotics—together with its IPO progress—provides the market with a clearer anchor for assessing the value of Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics assets.From a longer-term perspective, the data points of “more than RMB 2 billion invested, more than 20 companies covered, and portfolio valuation increasing approximately fourfold to around RMB 8 billion” already outline the basic contours of Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics strategy:At the front end, the Company secures leading projects through its funds.In the mid-stage, it accelerates commercialization through channels and service systems.At the back end, it opens up exit and re-rating opportunities through IPOs and capital operations.As projects such as Unitree Robotics move into the capital-market spotlight, the book value of Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics investments, its industrial synergy capabilities, and its subsequent monetization path are becoming increasingly clear.

HONG KONG, Apr 1, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China Risun Group Limited ("China Risun" or the "Company", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group"; Stock Code: 1907.HK), a leading global integrated coke, coking chemicals, and refined chemicals producer and supplier, as well as a relevant operation management services provider, recently announced its audited consolidated results for the year ended December 31, 2025. The financial report reveals that, despite a market environment characterized by cyclical downturns in the prices of major products, the Group achieved a significant increase in net profit through effective cost control, operational optimization, and business structure adjustment, while continuing to make breakthroughs in the fields of hydrogen energy and high-end refined chemicals.Financial Performance: Profit Growth and Improved Operational EfficiencyFor the 2025 financial year, the Group recorded a revenue of approximately RMB 39.286 billion, representing a year-on-year decrease of about 17.4% from RMB 47.543 billion in the Last Year. The decline in revenue was primarily due to an across-the-board drop in the prices of coke and major chemical products, as both the ferrous and chemical industry chains faced a market landscape of "strong supply and weak demand." Despite the top-line pressure, the Group demonstrated strong operational resilience through strict cost control. During the Year, the cost of sales and services decreased by 17.8% year-on-year, outpacing the decline in revenue. Consequently, the Group's gross profit reached RMB 3.064 billion, with the gross profit margin expanding by 0.5 percentage points year-on-year to 7.8%. More notably, the profit for the Year achieved a counter-cyclical growth, reaching approximately RMB 135 million, representing a significant increase of about 37.7% from RMB 97.80 million in the Last Year. Net cash generated from operating activities amounted to RMB 3.46 billion, a year-on-year surge of 140%, far exceeding the net profit, which indicates further enhanced risk-resistance capabilities and significantly improved earnings quality.Basic earnings per share of the Company for the Year stood at RMB 1.3 cents, a substantial year-on-year increase of 160%, reflecting the growth in profit attributable to the owners of the Company and the positive impact of share repurchases. The Board proposed a final dividend of RMB 0.19 cents per share, amounting to a total of approximately RMB 8.13 million, continuing its solid policy of rewarding shareholders.Business Highlights: Consolidating Coke Leadership, Expanding Operation Management, and Advancing High-End Chemicals & Hydrogen EnergyAs the cornerstone of its business, the Group's coke and coking chemicals manufacturing segment demonstrated distinct cost advantages during the price downtrend cycle. By optimizing coal blending and implementing cost reduction and efficiency improvement strategies, the segment's gross profit margin increased from 8.6% in the Last Year to 12.4%. During the Year, the first coke oven of a new coke project with an annual capacity of 1.8 million tons in Pingxiang, Jiangxi Province commenced operation, further consolidating the Group's economies of scale in production capacity.The operation management and trading businesses have become vital portfolio components for smoothing out cyclical fluctuations. Although revenue from operation management services decreased due to the completion of certain management agreements, the Group secured two new operation management projects in Jilin and Shanxi provinces during the Year, continuing to expand its industry influence. To date, the Group operates 9 management service projects, mainly distributed across Henan, Jilin, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Sichuan, and other provinces, managing a total scale of 8.282 million tons and achieving a 6-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.8%. Meanwhile, revenue from the trading business grew by 25.6% year-on-year, effectively supplementing the cash flow.Innovation and high-end transition remain the core driving forces for the Group's development. In the refined chemicals sector, the Group successfully developed and commenced production of the first domestic 5,000 tons/year amino alcohol (2-Amino-2-methyl-1-propanol) project at its Dingzhou Production Base, thereby becoming the world's second-largest producer of amino alcohol. The product has successfully passed the EU REACH registration, paving the way into high-value-added markets such as high-end coatings and pharmaceuticals. Caprolactam, another core product, maintained its solid market position while continuously optimizing costs through technological innovation.The accelerated rollout of the hydrogen energy business is one of the most promising growth drivers in the financial report. The Group's high-purified hydrogen production volume increased by 25.7% year-on-year, capturing an approximate 21.8% market share in North China. Crucially, the Group initiated the construction of the nation's first 5 tons/day liquid hydrogen demonstration project at the Dingzhou Production Base in Hebei Province. This project has been selected for the national-level list of the first major technological equipment in the energy sector, marking a significant technological breakthrough in the hydrogen storage and transportation segment and laying a solid foundation for future commercial applications.Financial Strategy: Robust Cash Flows and Shareholder ReturnsDuring the Year, net cash generated from operating activities improved significantly to approximately RMB 3.465 billion, primarily benefiting from the strengthened management of trade receivables. Despite actively managing capital expenditures for future development, the Group maintained ample liquidity. As of the end of the reporting period, the Group's unutilized banking facilities amounted to approximately RMB 8.036 billion, providing strong support for ongoing business expansion.The Group also actively utilized capital market tools to optimize its capital structure and reward shareholders. During the Year, the Company spent approximately RMB 180 million to repurchase shares and granted share awards to nearly 800 employees under the Share Award Plan, aiming to incentivize the team and share the fruits of corporate development.Future Outlook: Launching the New Five-Year Plan, Focusing on Green Transition and Industrial UpgradeIn its latest financial report, the Group announced that it has formulated its Seventh Five-Year Development Plan for the period from 2026 to 2030. Looking ahead, China Risun will continue to increase its market share in the coke, refined chemicals, and hydrogen-energy products markets through capacity expansion, mergers and acquisitions, and joint ventures. Particularly in the hydrogen energy sector, the Group will actively seize policy opportunities under China's "15th Five-Year Plan," aiming to become a clean and low-carbon hydrogen energy supplier, while exploring the industrialization of liquid hydrogen and the construction of integrated hydrogen-energy stations.Faced with a complex market environment in 2025, the Group achieved counter-cyclical profitability improvements relying on its integrated and industrial-park-based operational model, exceptional cost-control capabilities, and forward-looking R&D innovation. Entering the new Five-Year Plan cycle, China Risun will resolutely drive the green transition and high-end upgrade of the coking industry, cultivate refined chemicals into a crucial "second growth curve", continuously expand its global footprint, and deepen technological innovation. The Group is committed to achieving a higher level of sustainable development and accelerating its green and low-carbon transformation, while continuing to deliver long-term value and superior returns to shareholders.
