The wealth management businesses of Chinese investment banks in Hong Kong are growing faster than those of international rivals, as a buoyant initial public offering (IPO) market and rising cross-border flows strengthen their competitive edge. “Chinese investment banks are seeing accelerated growth … because [their] base is smaller and the current market environment favours them,” said Wang Lei, CEO of Huatai Financial Holdings (Hong Kong) , in an interview with the South China Morning Post, adding that foreign rivals were also expanding, but at a slower pace. “Hong Kong is a key centre for Chinese residents’ global asset allocation,” said Wang, who chairs the private wealth management committee at Huatai Securities. “Its wealth management market is increasingly entering a state of intensified competition.” Advertisement Regulators’ data is backing up this assessment. A survey published in July by the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) showed that assets under management of mainland-related firms in Hong Kong grew 15 per cent to HK$3.09 trillion (US$448 billion) in 2024, outperforming the industry average for a fifth consecutive year. Their net fund inflows jumped 68 per cent to HK$256 billion in 2024, while headcount rose 5 per cent year on year, the survey said. Advertisement Meanwhile, some foreign private banks have been retreating from Hong Kong. Banque Internationale a Luxembourg, the Grand Duchy’s oldest bank, shut its Hong Kong wealth management office in early 2025, while Liechtenstein’s VP Bank closed its Hong Kong office in 2024 after 18 years.

医保部门意图发挥支付杠杆，提升报销待遇以吸引患者，基金结余更多留给基层医疗机构以缓解经营压力 图：IC photo 【财新网】 分级诊疗再添支持政策。3月16日，国家医保局联合国家发改委、国家卫健委印发《关于医保支持基层医疗卫生服务发展的意见》（下称《意见》），明确年度医保基金预付和待遇报销适当向基层医疗机构倾斜，将更多基层医疗机构纳入医保定点范围，同时优化基层医保支付方式考核。 分级诊疗一直是2009年起步新一轮医改的目标，试图建立“基层首诊、双向转诊”的诊疗体系，“强基层”也屡现各类官方文件。 近日公布的《国民经济和社会发展第十五个五年规划纲要》部署，促进优质医疗资源扩容下沉和区域均衡布局和实施医疗卫生强基工程，提升基层医疗卫生机构诊疗量占比，完善不同层级医疗机构差异化支付政策。

AI is having a clear effect on how companies think about dividends in corporate America. In 2026 alone, companies tied to artificial intelligence infrastructure have been raising their payouts at a pace that would have looked unusually strong just a few years ago. GE Aerospace (GE) raised its quarterly dividend by 31%, Monolithic Power Systems (MPWR) increased its payout by 28%, and Equinix (EQIX) lifted its dividend by 10%, while also committing to grow it by at least 8% a year for the next five years. These are not small increases. They show that companies benefiting from AI demand are bringing more of that cash back to shareholders. Applied Materials (AMAT) just sent a similar message. On March 13, 2026, the company's board of directors approved a 15% increase to its quarterly cash dividend, raising it from $0.46 to $0.53 per share, payable June 11, 2026. That move marks nine straight years of dividend growth. CFO Brice Hill said the company has more than doubled its dividend per share over the past four years, with the payout growing at an 18% annual rate over the last decade. Over the past 10 fiscal years, Applied has also returned nearly 90% of its free cash flow to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks combined. That kind of record from a chip equipment company deeply tied to the AI chip market raises a fair question: with AMAT's dividend growing faster than most and its business becoming more important to the future of chip manufacturing, is this a stock worth owning right now? Let’s find out. The Numbers Behind the Bull Case for AMAT Applied Materials makes the tools chip companies use to produce advanced semiconductors, and it makes most of its money by selling wafer fabrication equipment while also generating high-margin recurring revenue from services and spare parts over the life of those tools. Over the past 52 weeks, AMAT stock has jumped 124% , with another 35% gain year-to-date (YTD). That strong run also shows up in valuation, with AMAT...

小行星「龍宮」的樣本上發現含有組成生命體基礎的化合物，專家指強化了小行星對地球生命起源有貢獻的假設。 生物細胞中的DNA(去氧核糖核酸)，以及RNA(核糖核酸)，是構成地球生命的基礎物質。日本科學家近期在科學期刊《自然·天文學》發布研究指，在小行星「龍宮」的樣本中，發現了構成DNA和RNA的全部五種核鹼基。 在關於生命起源的理論中，過往其中一個假設，是有隕石在遠古時期撞擊地球，帶來組成生命所需的基本物質。 在2020年，日本太空船把兩份由「龍宮」採集的岩石樣本，帶回地球。2023年的研究顯示，樣本中含有尿嘧啶，是構成RNA的鹼基之一。而最新研究發現，樣本亦含有組成RNA和DNA的其他核鹼基，包括腺嘌呤、胞嘧啶、鳥嘌呤和胸腺嘧啶。 早前，科學家亦在另一個名為「貝努」的小行星上，發現這些組成生命基礎的物質，顯示它們在整個太陽系中，可能普遍存在。 日本團隊指，研究結果不代表小行星上曾存在生命，但反映原始小行星，能產生和保存對生命起源有重要作用的物質。

伊朗官媒報道，最高國家安全委員會秘書拉里賈尼以及民兵主管蘇萊曼尼，在美國及以色列打擊行動中被殺。英國傳媒報道，美軍早前發射戰斧導彈，炸毀伊朗南部一間小學，總統特朗普收到中情局評估後沒有承擔責任，而是歸咎於德黑蘭政府。 以色列軍方公開片段，指周二空襲伊朗首都德黑蘭，針對伊斯蘭革命衛隊旗下民兵組織巴斯基及哨站，以方稱剷除伊朗兩名高級安全官員。 以色列總理內塔尼亞胡說：「我們剷除拉里賈尼，他是伊斯蘭革命衛隊負責人，該組織是控制伊朗的匪幫。」 以色列總理內塔尼亞胡表示，伊朗最高國家安全委員會秘書拉里賈尼，以及革命衛隊旗下民兵組織巴斯基，或稱「動員窮人組織」一名指揮官，在以軍襲擊中身亡。 伊朗傳媒報道，拉里賈尼遇襲身亡，他上周五曾在德黑蘭公開現身參與聖城日集會。在伊朗最高領袖哈梅內伊被殺後，他被視為伊朗關鍵決策者之一。美國正懸紅1,000萬美元，收集伊朗十名高層，包括拉里賈尼的情報。 伊朗最高國家安全委員會秘書拉里賈尼表示：「特朗普的問題在於他不夠聰明去理解，伊朗人是一個成熟、強大且堅定的民族。他施加的壓力越大，我們國家的意志力就越強大。」 伊朗國營媒體又指，62歲巴斯基指揮官蘇萊曼尼在美國及以色列打擊期間被殺。 上世紀80年代，他曾參與兩伊戰爭。半島電視台指出，他跟2020年在巴格達被美軍無人機襲擊致死的聖城軍指揮官蘇萊曼尼，兩人沒有親屬關係。 伊朗總統佩澤希齊揚發悼詞，高度評價拉里賈尼的卓越貢獻，他遇襲身亡是伊朗重大損失，又指德黑蘭政府會堅持，理性及遠見並重的抵抗路線。伊朗外長阿拉格齊就稱，即使有個別領導人或高官被殺，包括已故最高領袖哈梅內伊。伊朗體制依然運作良好，他周一跟聯合國秘書長，古特雷斯通電話期間，指美國及以色列對伊朗發動軍事侵略，是嚴重違反國際法及《聯合國憲章》基本原則，聯合國必須追究侵略者的責任。 美軍上月底打擊伊朗期間，曾發動戰斧巡航導彈，導致伊朗米納卜一間小學被炸毀，逾160名師生死亡，美方正調查事件。 英國《衛報》引述消息指，美國總統特朗普曾經根據未證實情報，將襲擊學校的責任歸咎於伊朗。當時中情局向他匯報，稱炸毀學校的導彈尾翼位置似乎太低，不似是戰斧導彈，之後特朗普宣稱是伊朗軍方所為。之後美方官員發現評估出錯，特朗普改口稱涉及戰斧導彈，但他在記者會上，在沒有提供證據下，暗示導彈來自伊朗。 有中情局前官員向《衛報》指，向特朗普提供信息「很危險」，因為他可能...

据知情人士透露，美国电商巨头 亚马逊 计划大幅削减通过美国邮政服务寄送的包裹数量。 消息人士补充说，作为美国邮政服务的最大客户，亚马逊一直在减少邮政包裹的寄送量，并计划在现有合同于9月到期前，将寄送量至少减少三分之二。 美国邮政总局局长戴维·施泰纳周二在国会听证会间隙接受采访时称，美国邮政仍在与亚马逊进行谈判。“我无法告诉你们谈判最终会如何结果，”施泰纳说。 亚马逊和美国邮政署已就延长业务合作关系进行了数月的谈判。消息人士补充说，业务量已开始逐步减少，预计秋季将全面削减。 今年 4 月，亚马逊表示，将在 2026 年底前投入超过 40 亿美元，扩大其美国农村配送网络，加倍投入加快发货速度，以刺激小城镇和农村地区购物者的需求。 施泰纳在去年12月指出，亚马逊一年内使用美国邮政服务处理包裹17亿次。 责任编辑：于健 SF069

Earnings Call Insights: IZEA Worldwide, Inc. (IZEA) Q4 2025 Management View CEO Patrick Venetucci announced that the company delivered on its commitment to accelerate its path to profitability, highlighting "we broke even, increased cash, held managed services revenue relatively flat, excluding Hoozu, and grew our enterprise accounts faster than the market." Venetucci detailed a net profit swing of $18.9 million year-on-year and cited an annual revenue of $31.2 million, noting a "13% decrease that reflects a deliberate strategic pivot toward long-term profitability compounded by broader macroeconomic headwinds." Venetucci explained the company "successfully exited international markets and off-boarded lower-margin SMB accounts to prioritize a high potential enterprise portfolio," and described government-induced disruptions and trade policies negatively impacting government and retail accounts. He emphasized that "Managed services revenue, excluding Hoozu, remained resilient," and that enterprise accounts expanded above industry growth rates, with five accounts surpassing the $1 million threshold and delivering double or triple-digit growth. Venetucci highlighted a "40% reduction in total operating expenses" and a cash operating profit recovery to $0.7 million from a prior $11.1 million loss. The company is also preparing to launch a proprietary AI-infused technology platform for account management and is "extremely active in M&A discussions searching for companies that can build these capabilities faster and accelerate the growth of our enterprise client portfolio." CFO Peter Biere reported, "we reduced our annual cash operating costs in 2025 by over 40% and or $10 million, while increasing our investment in enterprise account management personnel where we're seeing growth." Biere added, "we're on track posting positive cash from operations and breakeven net income for the year, both of which show significant improvement over 2024 results." Outlook Management expec...

美国邮政总局局长周二向国会表示，如果邮政局继续向政府支付必要的退休金和其他款项，可能在10月或11月就会耗尽资金。 美国邮政总局局长戴维·施泰纳在众议院监督委员会的一个小组委员会作证时表示，邮政局需要提高邮票价格，增加借贷能力，以及国会进行的其他改革。 他直言不讳地对议员们表示：“我们正处于危机之中。” 施泰纳说，如果这项服务像近年来那样拖欠部分款项，那么不到一年就会资金耗尽。“如果我们把这些款项的支付期限延后，那可能要到明年2月份。” 他为这家亏损的邮政机构列出了削减成本的方案：取消每周六天的投递服务、关闭邮局或将一级邮件邮票价格从目前的0.78美元提高到1美元或更高。 美国邮政总局正在等待咨询公司Alvarez & Marsal的报告，该公司受聘协助制定所有方案的计划。“当你的可用现金不足12个月时，你必须考虑所有选项，”施泰纳说。 施泰纳表示，将邮件投递频率减少到每周五天，每年可为美国邮政节省约30亿美元；而关闭偏远地区的小型邮局，则可节省8.4亿美元。但他同时指出，这些想法“可能不会被国会或美国公众接受”。 责任编辑：于健 SF069

It has been a wild ride for Hims & Hers (HIMS +0.66%) shareholders over the last few years. The stock is currently in a 65% drawdown from its highs, but up 50% in March, due to the telehealth platform's latest deal with a weight-loss drugmaker that was formerly suing it.

This has helped Eli Lilly's business grow quickly in recent quarters, while Novo Nordisk's business has stagnated. However, both companies' revenues are up around 200% in the past 10 years. Eli Lilly has a partnership with Hims & Hers competitor Ro, while Novo Nordisk is now (maybe reluctantly) in a deal with Hims & Hers.

Kansas Introduces Medical Freedom Act; Would Impose $50,000 Fines For Vax Mandates Or Medical Discrimination Authored by Jon Fleetwood via JonFleetwood.com , A new bill introduced last week in the Kansas Legislature would prohibit government agencies, employers, schools, and businesses from denying services or employment based on a person’s medical decisions, including whether they accept or refuse vaccines, tests, masks, or other medical interventions. The legislation, Kansas Senate Bill 522 , was introduced March 2, 2026, during the 2025–2026 legislative session and is currently pending before the Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee, where lawmakers are scheduled to consider the measure in a committee hearing. The bill was requested for introduction by the Kansas Senate Committee on Federal and State Affairs , a legislative committee responsible for advancing policy proposals related to statewide governance and regulatory matters. You can contact Kansas state senators here and voice your support for the bill. What the Bill Would Do SB522 would establish the “Kansas Medical Freedom Act,” prohibiting both government and private entities from denying services, employment, access to events, or public benefits based on whether an individual accepts or refuses a medical intervention. The legislation defines “medical intervention” broadly to include vaccines, masks, diagnostic tests, medications, devices, and other health-related treatments. Under the proposal: Private businesses could not deny services or access to individuals based on their use or refusal of medical interventions. Employers—both public and private—could not require medical interventions as a condition of employment. Schools, conferences, and educational institutions could not require medical interventions for entry or participation. Government agencies could not condition licenses, permits, benefits, or access to public buildings or transportation on compliance with a medical intervention. The b...

Key Points I'll look at five major producers’ latest dividend actions (raises, payout structure changes, and streak extensions) alongside the specific shareholder-return commitments they’re making. Free cash flow strength, record production, synergy plans, and buyback authorizations that run into the tens of billions make these stocks solid options in the current market environment. 10 stocks we like better than Devon Energy › When oil crossed $80 a barrel in early 2024, the largest U.S. energy producers faced a familiar choice: drill aggressively or return cash to shareholders. They chose the latter. Dividend raises, buyback programs, and capital return commitments accelerated as free cash flow swelled. Oil price volatility is reshaping how energy companies allocate capital, and the dividend story is the clearest expression of that shift. Here are the five energy stocks that doubled down hardest on shareholder returns. #5: Devon Energy Devon Energy (NYSE:DVN) ranks fifth on dividend commitment, but its forward story is the most dramatic of the group. The current quarterly dividend sits at $0.24 per share, leading to a 2.1% yield. Devon shifted to a fixed dividend structure in 2025, prioritizing predictability over volatility-linked payouts.

Continue » The real catalyst is its pending all-stock merger with Coterra Energy, expected to close in Q2 2026. Post-merger, the dividend is expected to increase 31% to $0.315 per quarter, and a new $5 billion-plus share repurchase authorization is planned. Devon's $0.24 ex-dividend date falls on March 13, 2026, with payment due March 31, 2026. Shares have gained 22% already, year to date. #4: EOG Resources EOG Resources (NYSE:EOG) has built a steady dividend growth record alongside production expansion. The current quarter...

据美国海军学会新闻网17日报道，参与美国和以色列对伊朗大规模军事行动的美军“福特”号航空母舰因上周发生火灾，准备离开红海，驶往位于希腊的美国海军基地接受维修。 报道援引一名美国高级官员的话说，“福特”号航母将在希腊南部克里特岛苏达湾的美军基地进行为期一周多的维修。 报道说，“福特”号航母船尾洗衣房12日发生火灾，造成3名水兵受伤，其中一人被送离航母。另有200多名水兵因吸入浓烟接受治疗，现已返回岗位。五角大楼发言人在一份声明中说，火灾导致航母多个舱室以及100多个床位被毁。 截至17日，“福特”号已连续执行海上任务266天。这艘美军最大航母先是从地中海前往加勒比海，参与今年1月美国对委内瑞拉的军事行动，2月又从加勒比海经地中海来到中东海域，参与美以同月28日对伊朗发起的大规模空袭。(新华社)

Pep Guardiola is one of the greatest managers of all time. The Spaniard has won 12 domestic league titles during his tenures at Barcelona, Bayern Munich and then Manchester City, along with an abundance of domestic trophies and individual accolades. In the Champions League, his three titles - two with Barca and one with City - put him among the greats with only five-time winner Carlo Ancelotti having won more. But a 5-1 aggregate defeat by Real Madrid in the last 16 represents another missed opportunity and leaves many wondering what might have been. In the 15 years since lifting the Champions League trophy with Barcelona in 2011, his second with the Catalan club having also won it in 2009, Guardiola has only had his hands on the trophy once - a maiden title for City when they did the Treble in 2023. Guardiola himself would perhaps be disappointed with that yield, having come so close to adding to that tally on several occasions with City. "We have an extraordinary team and extraordinary group of players, the future is bright," said a defiant City boss after Tuesday's exit. But, given the uncertainty around his future in Manchester beyond this season, questions will be asked around whether this was the 55-year-old's last chance to win the coveted trophy.

格隆汇3月18日｜债券交易员正在削减部分激进的押注，这些押注此前在很大程度上推动市场排除对美联储今年降息的预期。随着规模达31万亿美元的债券市场夹在由中东战争引发的增长风险与通胀风险之间，期货交易员在周三美联储政策会议前正在解除近期大量做空美债的押注。尽管本周预计不会调整利率，但政策制定者将公布未来数月的利率路径预测。交易员还将密切关注美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔的新闻发布会，以探寻央行如何在能源价格上涨与劳动力市场放缓迹象之间进行权衡。此前，在油价突破每桶100美元后通胀担忧加剧，促使债券交易员将对美联储下一次降息的预期推迟至明年，短端美债抛售加剧。本周，市场又重新计入到2026年底至少降息25个基点的可能性。
