EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 28/05/2026 / 15:45 UTC+8 Macau – 28 May 2026 – The BEYOND International Technology Innovation Expo 2026 is being held in Macau from May 27 to 30 under the theme “AI: Digital to Physical”. During the expo, MACAU Pass and Ant Bank (Macao) presented alongside key Alibaba ecosystem partners—including Alibaba Cloud, Qwen AI Glasses, Wuying, and Wukong—to offer a comprehensive look at the complete innovation chain spanning from foundational computing power to real-world applications, telling the “Macau Story” of how fintech and digital technologies are reshaping the smart city experience. MACAU Pass: Cultivating a New Digital Payment Ecosystem to Empower Smart City and Greater Bay Area Connectivity As Macau accelerates its smart city development and advances its strategy for moderate economic diversification, digitalization has melded into the city dynamics, becoming a core engine for high-quality development. With deep roots in Macau for over two decades, MACAU Pass pioneered the city's transit card and e-wallet, actively driving the adoption of mobile payments. As a key contributor to Macau's digital economy, it is now helping the city’s digital ecosystem evolve from "convenient payments" to "intelligent services." Currently, MPay e-wallet serves nearly 90% of Macau's local residents and is deeply integrated into their daily lives, serving as a super-app that brings all digital services into one place. MPay has simplified daily routines, covering over one hundred lifestyle scenarios—including dining, retail, group-buying, ride-hailing, event tickets, utility bill payments, and cross-border payments. This digital payment interoperability also deepens Macau’s integration with the Chinese mainland and the global economy. Powered by the Alipay+ global payment network, MPay is now accepted in 62 countries and regions, while MACAU Pass’s merchant acquiring service covers approximately 90% of local businesses, enabling tourists from over 10 countries and regions to pay seamlessly with their local e-wallets, significantly enhancing the payment experience for inbound travelers. The familiar mCard has also evolved beyond local transport. New products like the “MACAU Pass–China T-Union mCard,” “Zhuhai-Macau Public Transport Card,” and “Wuhan-Macau Pass Card” now enable seamless public transport access across mainland cities, deepening Macau’s integration into the transportation networks of the Greater Bay Area and the nation. MACAU Pass is also at the forefront of integrating AI with its commercial services. In April 2026, the company launched its proprietary “AI Payment Assistant,” which lowers the technical barrier for small, medium, and micro-sized enterprises (SMMEs) to thrive in the AI era. Previously, MACAU Pass partnered with Amap to launch the “Macao City Life Support Program”. This initiative revitalizes local communities by boosting the visibility of time-honoured eateries and small merchants, especially those tucked away in the city’s alleys, through AI-powered digital storefronts and significant promotional traffic. “Macau, with its global outlook and national support, is seizing a strategic opportunity for the convergence of its digital economy and AI,” said Sun Ho, Chairman and CEO of MACAU Pass. “Widespread mobile payment adoption has built a solid digital foundation for diverse scenarios, while also accelerating Macau's connectivity with the Greater Bay Area and the world at large. Going forward, we will leverage AI as an engine to ensure that these innovations drive merchant growth, public convenience, and urban prosperity.” Ant Bank (Macao): Advancing All-Scenario Smart Finance to Upgrade Macau’s Modern Financial Industry Macau’s modern financial industry is a key pillar of its economic diversification strategy and a critical force driving the real economy. Drawing on the technological strengths of Ant Group and Alibaba Group, Ant Bank (Macao)—the first digital bank fully integrated into the local ecosystem—has built an end-to-end digital financial service system. This system covers the core financial needs of residents and businesses, from payments, savings, wealth management, credit, to cross-border remittance, and is a powerful force for the high-quality development of Macau’s smart finance. In October 2025, the bank launched its first 24/7 unmanned self-service branch, which relies on intelligent technology to offer services like cash deposits, cheque drop-offs, and account inquiries, bringing smart finance into the daily lives of residents. As an international free port, the convenience and efficiency of Macau’s financial services are vital to its economic vitality and global competitiveness. Ant Bank (Macao) is driving this progress on all fronts: from building a cloud-native core system to extending offline smart service networks, and from ensuring precise coverage for personal inclusive finance to fully empowering corporate financial services, continuously injecting digital momentum into the city’s modern financial industry and helping to establish Macau as a global hub for financial innovation. Alibaba Ecosystem Partners to Shape a New Paradigm in Macau's Urban Development The foundation for this collaboration was laid in 2017 with a strategic partnership framework agreement between the Macao SAR Government and Alibaba, which designated Alibaba Cloud as the core technical backbone for the city's smart city development. Building on this foundation, Alibaba Cloud took center stage at this year's BEYOND Expo, showcasing its world-leading AI infrastructure, a rich and open ecosystem of models, and innovative agent-building tools for enterprises and developers. Alibaba's Qwen model family offers a wide range of choices, from open-source to proprietary, balancing cost-effectiveness with local adaptation. This allows it to meet the diverse needs of large enterprises, SMMEs, and individual developers, accelerating the adoption of AI technology. Leveraging this core technology, Alibaba Cloud is advancing an open and accessible AI service ecosystem where both enterprises and developers can flexibly build the AI capabilities they require. Currently, Alibaba Cloud is widely serving the digital transformation of global enterprises, supporting the global expansion of Chinese companies and smart city construction, empowering the intelligent upgrading of countless industries with its secure and trusted technology. A variety of cutting-edge AI terminals and innovative applications from the Alibaba ecosystem were featured at the expo. A major highlight was the Qwen AI Glasses, connected to Alibaba's most powerful Qwen model. Functioning as both a wearable super-assistant and a first-person view camera, the glasses feature pioneering capabilities such as proactive services, spatial 3D display, and AI-cloned simultaneous interpretation. They are also seamlessly integrated with Alibaba's full suite of lifestyle services—including shopping, payments, ride-hailing and travel booking—and proved to be a major attraction for attendees at the expo. The showcase also featured the JVS Agent-Building Suite (including JVS Claw Teams, JVS Crew, and JVS Mobile), which demonstrated how its one-stop solution for building and deploying AI agents allows companies to create reliable “digital employee teams”. In addition, the Wukong AI Assistant and DingTalk A1 Office Intelligence Assistant are precisely tailored for core enterprise tasks—including content creation, smart meeting assistance, and collaborative workflows—all empowering businesses to achieve significant gains in digital performance. By combining MACAU Pass’s one-stop digital life services, Ant Bank (Macao)’s all-scenario smart finance, Alibaba Cloud’s foundational AI and computing power, and the tangible application of interactive products like the Qwen AI Glasses, Alibaba’s ecosystem companies are working in synergy. They are committed to creating a new urban service paradigm that is perceptive, interactive, and constantly evolving, partnering with Macau’s government, businesses, and the community to build a vibrant urban future where AI converges with digital and physical realities.

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 2026-05-28 / 09:44 UTC+8 2026年5月26日下午，由全球商報聯盟、香港商報聯合主辦的2026全球商報經濟論壇暨「金鯤鵬」中國財經價值榜頒獎盛典，在香港隆重舉行。來自香港特區政府、行業協會、上市公司、金融機構等上百位嘉賓出席。 香港商報常務副社長、執行總編輯藍岸、香港特區政府財經事務及庫務局副局長陳浩濂、香港中資證券業協會永遠名譽會長譚岳衡等多位領導參會並致辭。 會上公佈了2026「金鯤鵬」中國財經價值榜獲獎公司。鍋圈食品（上海）股份有限公司（2517.HK）（以下簡稱「鍋圈」），一舉囊括「最具投資價值上市公司」、「最佳投資者關係管理上市公司」等殊榮。 本次獲獎，不僅是對鍋圈過去一年資本市場表現的高度認可，更是對其從「萬店連鎖」向「系統驅動」戰略躍遷系列成績的肯定。 全球商報經濟論壇至今已舉辦八屆。本屆2026全球商報經濟論壇暨「金鯤鵬」中國財經價值榜系列活動以「錨定十五五 搶抓新機遇」為主題，並通過「金鯤鵬」中國財經價值榜旨在遴選引領行業發展變革，業界榜樣標杆的傑出企業與人物，以「創新性、公司治理、價值力、戰略前瞻性、成長性、社會責任與可持續發展」六大核心維度為評判標準。在組委會和主辦機構推薦的基礎上，綜合入圍公司及專業諮詢機構提供的客觀指標和主觀指標兩大數據指標計分，經過報名初審、數據採集審定、專家顧問團評審和組委會定榜等環節，最終產生中國財經價值榜企業獲獎名單。 全維度創新轉化為增長動能，利潤增速持續跑贏收入增速 評判一家上市公司的投資價值，最終要回歸財務數據的「硬核」驗證。在餐飲零售賽道競爭白熱化的宏觀背景下，鍋圈2025年的業績公告，堪稱一份「逆勢雙增」的珍貴樣本。 2025年，公司實現營業收入78.1億元，同比增長20.7%；核心經營利潤4.61億元，同比增長48.2%；淨利潤4.54億元，同比大幅增長88.2%，核心經營利潤率提升至5.9%，利潤增速約為營收增速的2.3倍；每股基本及攤薄盈利0.163元，同比增長93.8%。與此同時，2025年度股東回報總額5.7億元，同比增長164.3%。 據鍋圈發佈2026年度第一季度最新業務情況顯示，一季度公司預計收入22-23億元，同比增長31.3-37.2%；預計實現核心經營利潤1.85-2.05億元，同比增長45.3-61.0%，主要財務指標再次實現增長。 利潤增速持續跑贏收入增速，這意味著鍋圈已經讓增長從「靠速度」走向「靠體系」，源於門店模型優化、供應鏈降本增效及費用管控的系統性改善，進入規模效應釋放與戰略升級協同驅動的良性循環，正式邁入高質量增長的新階段。 門店是鍋圈最核心的基礎設施。截至2025年末，鍋圈全國門店總數達11,566家，全年淨增1,416家，擴張節奏持續向好。進入2026年一季度，門店總數進一步增至11,758家，單季淨增192家。 公司積極推進在線線下深度融合，通過抖音等社交電商平台的全域佈局，2025全年平台曝光量超94.1億次，門店通過抖音渠道實現GMV達14.9億元，同比增長75.3%，讓在線流量切實轉化為單店的經營紅利。 與渠道創新相輔相成的，是會員體系的深度運營。鍋圈始終將用戶資產作為長期增長的核心複利。截至 2025年末，註冊會員數量達6490萬名，同比增長57.1%；預付卡預存金額達12億元，同比增長22.3%。 在新業態方面，鍋圈小炒的實戰落地成為年度創新亮點之一。鍋圈小炒作為公司「社區中央廚房」戰略重要延伸，不僅豐富了家庭一日三餐的消費場景，更有望成為公司探索第二增長曲線的關鍵抓手。 同時，公司亦在延伸一站式戶外幸福解決方案——鍋圈露營。從「家中的餐桌」拓展到「戶外社交餐桌」，為消費者提供創造歡樂和情緒價值的全新場景。 發佈高比例分紅政策，建立穩定的股東回報機制 在資本市場，分紅派息是一個受到投資者尤為關注的指標。2025年度，鍋圈實現股東回報總額達約5.7億元，同比增長164.3%，並擬派發2025年末期股息每股0.0381元，總額約1.002億元。 更為關鍵的是，鍋圈將股東回報從口號轉化為制度。2026年4月批准的《股息政策》，每年派息兩次（全年業績及半年業績獲批時宣派），具備條件時優先採用現金分紅；2026至2028年度，每年以現金方式分配的利潤總額不低於當年歸屬於公司股東淨利潤的60%。 這一新的《股息政策》，將為投資者提供了可預期的收益錨點，有利於吸引長期資金投資。 4月22日，鍋圈發佈公告稱，擬投不超2億港元自有資金回購H股。港交所公告顯示，5月22日鍋圈以每股2.480港元至2.510港元的價格回購398.20萬股，回購金額達994.19萬港元。今年以來該股累計進行15次回購，合計回購3413.72萬股，累計回購金額9971.73萬港元。 這種分紅+回購的雙輪驅動模式，在港股新消費企業中具有標杆意義。 從「價值傳遞」到「價值共創」，以透明溝通建立資本市場信任 此次榮獲「最佳投資者關係管理上市公司」是對鍋圈IR團隊專業能力的直接肯定。 回顧鍋圈登陸港股後的資本市場溝通軌跡，公司始終保持著高頻、透明的信息披露節奏。上市以來，鍋圈的IR團隊持續扮演好「價值傳遞者」和「市場傾聽者」的雙重角色，重視與投資者的多元化、立體化溝通。 除了年度業績、中期業績、季報的發佈與溝通，IR團隊積極組織、參與數百場路演、大型投資論壇、策略峰會。與此同時通過資本市場日、反向路演等形式，帶領投資者分析師從一線城市到田間山野，從北方的產業基地到南方的調改門店，實地調研、交流、探討，幫助資本市場對公司的業務發展有了更直觀更深入的全貌理解。過去一年，多家頭部券商發佈研究報告，對公司持續看好，構建起與機構投資者的高效對話機制。 戰略縱深：大店調改開啟單店價值全面升維 鍋圈將2026年的發展主題錨定為「縱情向前」，這標誌著其戰略重心發生了深刻轉變。公司為今年設定了明確且進取的經營目標：集團門店總數預計突破14,500家，這意味著將淨新增超過2,900家門店，同時實現閉店率持續優化。會員總數目標直指9,500萬，並推動同店業績高單位數增長。 實現這一系列目標的核心引擎，在於大店模型的系統性調改與升級。這已成為鍋圈2026年最具決定性的戰略舉措。從第一季度的表現來看，鍋圈的增長邏輯已清晰進化——它正逐步擺脫早期單純依靠拓店數量驅動的外延式擴張，進入一個由門店質量提升、消費場景延伸與運營能力深化共同驅動的全新階段。這種增長模式更具韌性、更可持續，也意味著公司的價值創造正從「廣度」向「深度」遷移。 這種「深度」具體體現在門店角色的根本性重塑上——從過去以銷售火鍋燒烤食材為主的「貨架型」零售點，全面升級為能滿足家庭一日多時段、多場景餐飲需求的「社區央廚」和「解決方案中心」。其核心是從「賣產品」轉向「經營場景」和「經營用戶關係」：通過擴大門店空間、豐富商品組合（如引入早餐、西餐等），並強化熱食外擺、明廚亮灶等體驗環節，門店不僅提升了顧客的停留意願與選擇廣度，更顯著增強了承接連帶消費和複購的能力。簡言之，門店正在變得更「厚」、更「暖」、更能「裝下」一個家庭的日常飲食生活。 這一戰略轉型已初見成效。來自多家機構的調研數據顯示，今年以來已完成調改的大店，業績均獲得了顯著提升。這證明，通過對存量門店進行「單店革命」，系統性提升其商品力、場景力和運營效率，鍋圈正在將其龐大的萬店網絡，轉化為一個價值持續裂變的增長底盤，為未來的高質量增長打開了更具想像力的空間。 第二屆金鯤鵬中國財經價值榜給予對鍋圈資本市場表現給予認可，不僅是對其過往成績的肯定，更是對其未來價值的預判。在港股新消費板塊估值修復的週期中，一家兼具成長性與股東回報意識的龍頭企業，正迎來價值重估的最佳窗口期。 2026-05-28 此財經新聞稿由EQS via SeaPRwire.com轉載。本公告內容由發行人全權負責。瀏覽原文: http://www.todayir.com/tc/index.php
