Singapore, August 28, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - The stock investment simulation competition, exclusively sponsored by Mobius Social, officially kicked off today in Singapore. Open to investors aged 18 and above in Singapore, the three-month competition runs from August 28 to November 28 and is expected to attract more than 30,000 participants. To encourage rational investing and scientific strategy, the competition has established a total prize pool of SGD 350,000, with top-performing participants invited to attend an offline awards ceremony in Singapore.
Scientific Risk Control, Replicating Real Market Dynamics
The competition adopts a real-market simulation trading format, with each participant receiving USD 100,000 in virtual initial capital. To promote scientific asset allocation and prevent all-in, gambling-style trading, the competition has implemented a dual risk control mechanism:
- Holdings in any single stock must not exceed 30% of total assets.
- A 40% maximum drawdown risk control threshold is set; breaching this limit will trigger risk control intervention.
The event organizers stated: “Through institutional design, we aim to guide investors toward establishing long-term, rational trading habits rather than pursuing short-term windfalls. The 40% drawdown threshold and 30% single-position limit are precisely intended to simulate the risk control standards of professional institutions.”
Competition Schedule and Participation Rules
The three-month schedule will cover various market environments, providing a complete testing period for different investment strategies. Participants must complete no fewer than five valid trades throughout the competition and timely assess their positions and risks in response to market changes. Additionally, the “Simulation Analysis Sprint Period” scheduled from September 7 to September 18 will serve as a special challenge segment. During this phase, participants can focus on validating short-term strategies, and performance in this period will be one of the weighted factors in final ranking calculations.
Participants can complete registration via the official Mobius website and join the official WhatsApp community to receive competition announcements, dynamic updates, and official support in real time. Registration remains open; please refer to the official website for the specific deadline.
Launch Day Highlights: Offline Investment Exchange Summit Held Simultaneously
On the competition launch day, the organizers simultaneously held an offline investment exchange summit in Singapore, attracting hundreds of investors. Multiple senior experts in the investment field were present to deliver in-depth presentations on core topics including market trend analysis, stock valuation, technical trading system development, capital flow research, real-world case studies, and risk management systems. Attendees not only gained opportunities for face-to-face exchanges with experts but also gained deeper insight into the thinking frameworks and decision-making logic of institutional investors.
Empowering Investors: The Long-Term Value of Mobius Social
As the exclusive sponsor of this competition, Mobius Social is an app that integrates global major stock market data with investment-focused social networking features. The platform provides users with global market information and market exchange services, helping investors understand global market dynamics in a one-stop manner without frequently switching platforms, and share views and experiences with other investors and industry authorities.
The Mobius Social Competition Committee stated: “Through the combination of ‘high-value prize incentives + realistic simulation exercises + strict risk control mechanisms + community exchange,’ we hope to provide a practical platform for investors of different experience levels, helping participants establish systematic investment decision-making processes, enhance risk awareness, and improve real-world capabilities. This is not just a competition; it is a collective evolution of investment capabilities.”

HONG KONG, August 28, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - Legend Holdings Corporation (“Legend Holdings” or the “Company”; Stock Code: 3396.HK) announced the unaudited condensed consolidated interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2026 (the “Reporting Period”). During the Reporting Period, the Company recorded revenue of RMB362.935 billion, representing a 29% year-on-year increase, primarily driven by the significant revenue growth of its subsidiaries Lenovo and Levima Advanced Materials; net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company was RMB2.230 billion, up 219% year-on-year, driven by the recovery in portfolio value of the industrial incubations and investments segment. Excluding the impact of a one-off item, net profit attributable to equity holders of Legend Holdings was RMB5.812 billion, a year-on-year increase of 834%.
In the first half of 2026, Legend Holdings remained committed to technological innovation as the key driver for high-quality development and continued to enhance its distinctive technological innovation system. The Company actively drove the coordinated advancement of “anchoring diversified-industries operations in technology-focused core businesses, extending ecosystem coverage through technology innovation funds, and driving the very early-stage industrialization of forward-looking technologies.” This expedited the transformation from scientific and technological achievements into real productive forces, and drove a steady improvement in the Company's core competitiveness, with significant performance growth, laying a solid foundation for the Company’s sustainable development.
RMB 10 Billion in R&D Investment, Together with a Solidified Technology Foundation
During the Reporting Period, Legend Holdings’ total R&D investment exceeded RMB10 billion, a historical record high for its midyear report. Its portfolio companies continued to deliver steady growth with solid fundamentals. Lenovo capitalized on the surge in hybrid AI, with all three major business segments delivering double-digit revenue growth and reaching record highs for the same period. AI has become Lenovo’s core growth engine, with AI-related revenue increasing by 64% for the same period and accounted for 36% of Lenovo’s total revenue. Levima Advanced Materials posted significant performance growth and made breakthroughs in a number of major projects. Among them, the m-Xylylene Diisocyanate (XDI) project was listed under the National Key R&D Program. Built on Levima’s technical expertise and R&D experience, the PEEK project has entered the construction phase. Both projects are expected to be completed and put into operation in 2027, filling domestic technology gaps.
Technology Ecosystem Bearing Fruit, and 12 Portfolio Companies Successfully Listed
Leveraging years of dedicated efforts in technology innovation, Legend Holdings has cultivated a robust ecosystem spanning emerging and future industries. This ecosystem is now delivering tangible returns, not only driving significant performance growth for the Company, but also accumulating momentum for long-term development. During the Reporting Period, the industrial incubations and investments segment’s depth of technology asset pipeline and ability to realize value from these assets both improved. In the first half of 2026, the Legend Holdings Family Group supported the listing of 12 portfolio companies. These listed companies spanned sectors including artificial intelligence, semiconductors, advanced manufacturing, and healthcare. More than 30 additional portfolio companies are currently in the pre-listing pipeline. The Company invested in over 80 technology projects in the first half of the year across frontier fields such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, optical interconnects, embodied artificial intelligence, chips and semiconductors, biopharmaceuticals, and commercial aerospace. To date, Legend Holdings has invested in over 300 AI-related companies. The Company has also established a systematic presence in other frontier fields, having invested in over 110 companies in pharmaceuticals and healthcare, over 60 companies in sustainable industries and future energy, and more than 50 companies in embodied artificial intelligence.
Fostering Industry-Academia-Research Collaborative Innovation and Exploring New Pathways for Commercializing Original Technologies
Responding to the call to “accelerate the translation from technological advances into productive forces”, Legend Holdings leverages its Forward-Looking Technology Research Institute to actively promote industry-academia-research collaborative innovation and explore new pathways for the commercialization of pioneering technologies. In the first half of the year, Legend Holdings established the Advanced Photonic Integration Joint Laboratory with a National Key Laboratory at Peking University. Together with the research team, the Company published co-authored papers and filed joint patents, while making preparations to establish a dedicated operating entity. In addition, led by the Chinese Information Processing Society of China (CIPS), and jointly initiated by Legend Holdings and other organizations, the Industry University Research Working Committee of the Chinese Information Processing Society of China was established, focusing on frontier areas of artificial intelligence. The Committee translates real-world industry needs into concrete workstreams. The Company has built a “Covalent Innovation” model that brings real-world industry needs into the earliest stages of R&D, enabling businesses and researchers to jointly set priorities and develop solutions. It aims to create a replicable pathway for translating more creative innovation into new quality productive forces.
ESG Practices Gaining Authoritative Recognition, Corporate Responsibility Underpinning the Foundation for Sustainability
Legend Holdings prioritizes ecological conservation and green development. Lenovo has repeatedly received authoritative recognition both domestically and internationally in the ESG field. It has retained the highest global 3A rating in the MSCI ESG Ratings and received the EcoVadis Platinum Medal, its highest distinction, for two consecutive years. It was also included in the Fortune China ESG Impact List for five consecutive years. Its green operations continued to deliver strong results: over 90% of the electricity used in Lenovo’s global operations came from renewable energy sources. More than 360 million kilograms of end-of-life products have been recovered and reused. In photovoltaic materials, Levima Advanced Materials operates two major product lines for photovoltaic adhesive film materials, EVA and POE, with an annual production capacity exceeding 350,000 tons. In new energy battery materials, the company has built a comprehensive portfolio. In green investment, Legend Holdings has invested in more than 60 companies across new energy, energy decarbonization and so on. The Legend Star CEO Training Program has been running for over 18 years, nurturing up to 1,429 startup founders with 77 listed companies, 217 national-level specialized and innovative “Little Giant” enterprises, 930 High-and New-Technology Enterprises (HNTE), and more than 460,000 jobs created.
Looking ahead, Legend Holdings will continue to closely align with national strategic needs, adhere to the main thread of technological innovation driving high-quality development, steadily improve its distinctive technological innovation system, deepen its focus on technology as its core business, and accelerate the promotion of the transformation of scientific achievements into real productive forces, making unremitting contributions to Chinese modernization and self-reliance and strength in science and technology.

HONG KONG, August 28, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - Cryofocus Medtech (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (“Cryofocus” or the “Company,” stock code: 6922.HK), a leading innovative medical device platform specializing in minimally-invasive interventional cryotherapy, today announced its interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2026. During the Reporting Period, the Company continued to expand its product pipeline, with a significant 37.9% narrowing of its loss for the period to RMB 16.9 million. Gross profit margin improved to 68.5% from 67.1% in the same period last year, while cash and cash equivalents surged 69.2% to RMB 59.3 million compared to the end of 2025, underscoring enhanced operational quality and financial resilience.
Product Pipeline Continues to Expand, Commercial Footprint Widens
As a pioneer in the field of minimally-invasive interventional cryotherapy in China, Cryofocus has established a comprehensive product portfolio covering both vascular intervention and natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES). As of June 30, 2026, the Company had a total of 25 products and product candidates, of which 11 had been commercialized. These include the Atrial Fibrillation Cryoablation System, Malignant Stenosis Cryoablation System, Cryoadhesion System, Bladder Cryoablation System, and Pulmonary Nodule Localization Needle, among others.
In January 2026, the Company’s Endoscopic Additional Working Channel Catheter received approval from the Zhejiang Medical Products Administration, further enriching its commercial product matrix. Meanwhile, several high-value product candidates have entered the critical confirmatory clinical trial stage and are expected to receive approvals sequentially between 2027 and 2029. These include:
- Vascular Intervention:
Cryofocus Renal Denervation System (Cryo-RDN System): Designed to be the world’s first cryoablation product specifically targeting hypertension. It was granted Breakthrough Device designation by the U.S. FDA in December 2022.
- Respiratory Intervention:
COPD Cryospray System, Peri-Pulmonary Nodule Cryoablation System, Asthma Cryoablation System, and Benign Stenosis Cryoablation System: These products form a matrix of investigational devices targeting the same hospital department. As they receive approvals in the coming period, the synergistic effect of this product matrix is expected to amplify.
The Company’s R&D team comprises 40 professionals. As of June 30, 2026, Cryofocus held 179 patents and 35 patent applications domestically and internationally, continuously deepening its technological moat.
Loss Narrows Significantly, Gross Margin Improves Against Headwinds
Alongside steady progress in its product pipeline, the Company delivered impressive financial metrics. For the first half of 2026, Cryofocus recorded revenue of RMB 40.7 million and gross profit of RMB 27.9 million. The loss for the period amounted to RMB 16.9 million, a decrease of RMB 10.3 million or 37.9% from RMB 27.2 million in the same period of 2025.
Against the backdrop of an active adjustment in revenue scale, the Company’s overall gross profit margin rose from 67.1% to 68.5%, primarily driven by process improvements and optimizations for certain products. This indicates that structural improvements in the product mix and enhanced production efficiency have effectively offset the impact of revenue fluctuations on profitability.
Comprehensive Cost Optimization Boosts Operating Efficiency Significantly
The substantial narrowing of losses was underpinned by the Company’s holistic cost control measures:
- Administrative expenses decreased by 34.0% from RMB 33.7 million to RMB 22.3 million, mainly due to reductions in staff costs and share-based payments.
- Selling and distribution expenses fell by 14.5% from RMB 9.2 million to RMB 7.8 million.
- Research and development expenses declined by 15.1% from RMB 17.9 million to RMB 15.2 million.
- Finance costs dropped by 22.7% from RMB 1.1 million to RMB 0.8 million.
Furthermore, other income and gains surged over 550% from RMB 0.5 million to RMB 3.2 million, primarily attributable to an increase in government grants. The combined effect of comprehensive cost optimization and growth in non-recurring income enabled the Company to achieve a sharp compression of losses despite a temporary decline in revenue.
Cash Reserves Surge 69.2%, Strengthening Capital Position
As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents stood at RMB 59.3 million, an increase of RMB 24.2 million or 69.2% from RMB 35.0 million as of December 31, 2025. This growth was mainly driven by the completion of an H-share placing in January 2026, under which the Company issued 5,595,000 H-shares and raised net proceeds of approximately HK$29.73 million.
Additionally, the Company’s current ratio improved from 1.5 to 1.7, the quick ratio rose from 1.0 to 1.2, and the gearing ratio decreased from 64.7% to 61.8%, reflecting enhanced short-term solvency and overall financial safety.
Outlook: Committed to Becoming a Global Minimally-Invasive Interventional Cryotherapy Medical Device Platform, Bringing Benefits to Patients and Physicians Worldwide
In the first half of 2026, the Company proactively adjusted its sales strategy to align with evolving industry demands, leading to a temporary dip in revenue. However, earnings quality improved markedly, signaling a positive trend of “structural revenue adjustment with clear profit elasticity.”
Looking ahead, the Company will:
- Rapidly advance the clinical development and commercialization of its product candidates based on cryotherapy technology;
- Continue to focus on minimally-invasive interventional cryotherapy and further expand its product portfolio leveraging its technology platform;
- Persistently research and develop various underlying and supporting technologies; and
- Selectively expand its global footprint.
With high-value products such as the Cryofocus Renal Denervation System, COPD Cryospray System, and Peri-Pulmonary Nodule Cryoablation System entering the regulatory submission and launch cycle, coupled with a significantly strengthened cash position and continuous loss reduction, Cryofocus is steadily accelerating toward its vision of becoming a “global minimally-invasive interventional cryotherapy medical device platform.”
