香港，2025年6月24日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 6月19日，A股调味品龙头海天味业（03288.HK；603288.SH）在港交所敲响上市铜锣，成为行业首家「A+H」双上市企业。最终发售价厘定为36.30港元，发行规模超14亿美元。海天味业此次登陆港股，在资本市场引发了热烈反响，香港公开发行获超900倍认购创纪录，成为2022年以来港股超10亿美元规模IPO的"认购王"。海天味业是百年传承、引领创新、着眼全球的中国调味品龙头企业，致力于向用户提供健康、美味、便捷的调味品消费体验，主要产品包括酱油、蚝油、调味酱、特色调味品及其他。根据弗若斯特沙利文的资料，按2024年的收入计，公司是中国调味品行业的绝对领导者，亦是全球前五的调味品企业。其在中国调味品市场排行首位，市场份额超过第二名两倍以上。按销量计，已连续28年蝉联中国最大调味品企业。明星IPO登陆港股，众星捧月创造多个「第一」自1月13日递表港交所，到5月23日通过聆讯，再到6月19日正式挂牌，海天味业仅用五个月左右的时间，便完成了港股上市。而在这背后，海天味业作为调味品龙头的优质性与稀缺性，也受到市场高度认可。多年来，海天味业在调味品行业一直居于领先地位，兼具规模与增长，2013-2024年，营业收入复合增长率达到11.2%，是全球调味品头部企业中唯一实现双位数增长的企业。最近10年，净利率持续超过20%。同时，公司致力于持续为股东创造回报，近10年累计分红超过人民币290亿元，平均年化分红率超过60%。是次上市，海天味业的公开发售部分与国际配售部分分别录得918.15倍、22.93倍超额认购，不但受到个人投资者热烈追捧，也获国际长线资金积极抢筹，表明投资者对其业务及前景充满信心。大热之下，海天味业的发售量调整权已获全面行使，增发6%股份，成为2025年规模第二大的港股IPO（假设绿鞋全额行使，下同），2025年全球消费行业规模第一大的IPO，2021年以来全球食品饮料行业规模第一大的IPO，以及近25年来来全球调味品行业规模第一大的IPO。提升港股资产质量及活跃度，树立A to H示范效应综览市场环境，上半年港股市场流动性显著改善，表现全球领先。港交所官网数据显示，2025年首5个月港股市场的平均每日成交金额为2,423亿港元，较去年同期的1,102亿港元上升120%。5月份的平均每日成交金额为2,103亿港元，较去年同期的1,398亿港元上升50%。尤其是，南向资金持续加仓港股市场，今年以来累计净流入超6,700亿港元，创历史同期新高。中信证券认为，优质企业赴港上市将进一步提升港股市场的资产质量及流动性水平，南向资金或也将持续流入港股市场带来支撑。像海天味业这样已完成或正计划「A+H」两地上市的企业多为细分领域龙头，具备较强稀缺性，可以吸引国际资本持续流入，使市场形成良性循环。作为机构公认的中长期配置主线之一，消费龙头素来受到市场青睐。海天味业不仅是有着百年发展底蕴的中国调味品龙头，也是A股市场的质优标杆。公司拥有强大的战略定力与市场开拓能力。在品类拓展上，公司一方面持续巩固酱油、蚝油、调味酱等核心存量业务优势，通过产品迭代升级保持稳健增长；另一方面积极布局新兴品类，同时深度切入有机、薄盐、无麸质等健康营养赛道，推动单一品类向全品类覆盖延伸，不断拓宽增长边界。在渠道拓展领域，公司凭借强大的渠道网络与丰富的产品矩阵，持续挖掘下沉市场潜力，将高品质调味品输送到更广阔的消费场景。在品类拓展和渠道下沉战略的深入推进下，海天味业自2014年A股上市以来业绩保持稳步增长，从上市初期人民币98亿元的营收规模，一路增长至到2024年约人民币269亿元，实现阶梯式跨越，其经营实力已远超调味品行业其他企业，行业龙头地位持续巩固。海天受投资者及国际长线资金青睐，得益于海天味业已经在A股上市的基础优势。对香港资本市场而言，海天味业的上市，有助于提升市场活跃度，增强香港资本市场的国际影响力，同时具有示范效应，料将带动更多A股龙头企业赴港上市，为多赢之举。 Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

The drilling follows up on systematic surface exploration, including prospecting, mapping, and augering programs that identified a 500 m by 400 m gold anomaly at surface.HighlightsFirst-ever drilling at Maria Geralda delivers exceptional results with 22.5 m of 11.88 g/t Au (MG003)Discovery validates systematic exploration approach with auger sampling identifying a 500 m by 400 m gold anomaly at surface where 54% of samples returned assays above 0.1 g/t AuSignificant expansion potential with the discovery zone open along strike and to depth, supporting plans for follow-up drilling in 2025Colin Padget, President & CEO of Founders, commented, "While weather has limited our access to other exploration targets recently, we were pleased to maintain ready access to Maria Geralda and follow up on early surface results. This outstanding start to drilling at Maria Geralda further validates our exploration approach across the 200 km² Antino land package. The 22.5 m interval grading 11.88 g/t Au represents some of the highest-grade mineralization we've encountered to date. These results demonstrate the substantial discovery potential that exists beyond the property's current established zones. Between this discovery, recent expansions at Upper and Lower Antino, and our ongoing 2025 exploration program, we see significant opportunity to build shareholder value."Maria Geralda is located along a major structural corridor on a northwest-trending lineament at the geologic boundary between intrusive rocks and mixed metavolcanic-metasedimentary formations. The discovery hole was designed to test the geochemical anomaly identified through the Company's auger sampling program. Founders plans to follow-up with systematic step-out drilling to define the extent of mineralization along strike and to depth.About Founders Metals Inc.Founders Metals is a Canadian-based exploration company focused on advancing the Antino Gold Project located in Suriname, South America, in the heart of the Guiana Shield.

Mixing two or three alkyl-π liquids can achieve the right combination of functions for soft electronics.TSUKUBA, Japan, June 18, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Soft electronics are an exciting and innovative class of technology that brings together bendable, stretchable semiconducting materials for applications in areas ranging from fashion to healthcare. Researchers have recently developed a new technique to adjust the properties of liquids that could be used to create soft electronics.Researchers successfully blended various combinations and proportions of three solvent-free alkyl-π room-temperature liquids that fluoresced red, green, or blue light, with no color variation within the material showing that the alkyl-π liquids had merged evenly.

Please credit the STAM Journal.Room-temperature alkylated-π molecular liquids (known as alkyl-π liquids) are an exciting new material that holds great promise for soft electronics. However, one challenge with these fascinating liquids lies in fine-tuning their physical, chemical, and electronic properties – including their ability to interact with light – to achieve the desired functionality.A new study, led by researchers from the National Institute of Materials Science (NIMS) in Tsukuba, Japan, has explored a strategy for blending together alkyl-π liquids to merge their functions homogeneously. The researchers used photoluminescent color tuning to demonstrate how well the process has worked. Their findings have been published in the journal Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.Previous efforts to control the properties of alkyl-π liquids have taken one of two approaches. The first involves incorporating small amounts of other molecules, such as dyes, into the liquid. “When modulating function by adding solid dopants, the dopant molecules have poor solubility, leading to insoluble aggregates and inconsistencies in properties such as luminescent color,” says Dr. Takashi Nakanishi of the Research Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics at NIMS.The second approach involves chemically modifying the alkyl-π liquids. While this can achieve a uniform result, designing and synthesising entirely new molecules is difficult and less time- and cost-effective.In the new study, researchers synthesised three solvent-free alkyl-π room-temperature liquids that fluoresced red, green, or blue light, and then they blended the liquids together in varying proportions. They successfully created a range of homogeneous liquid blends of colors with no color variation within the material, showing that the alkyl-π liquids had merged evenly.The team also assessed how well the two liquids had mixed by changing the temperature and studying how the flow of the mixed liquids changed over time at different temperatures. This approach further confirmed that the liquids were successfully blended together.“The liquid–liquid blending method implemented in this study for alkyl-π liquids facilitates the production of low-volatility, ink-like materials that exhibit a diverse spectrum of uniform luminescent colors, devoid of any color unevenness,” Dr. Nakanishi says. “This means it will be possible to apply or coat the desired function with simple operations such as painting, sandwiching, or soaking the liquid materials wherever needed.”The research opens the path to blending alkyl-π liquids to vary other functions, such as photoconductivity, charge retention, or gas sensing.Further informationTakashi NakanishiNational Institute for Materials Science (NIMS)nakanishi.takashi@nims.go.jpPaper: https://doi.org/10.1080/14686996.2025.2515007About Science and Technology of Advanced Materials (STAM)Open access journal STAM publishes outstanding research articles across all aspects of materials science, including functional and structural materials, theoretical analyses, and properties of materials. https://www.tandfonline.com/STAM Dr. Kazuya SaitoSTAM Publishing DirectorEmail: SAITO.Kazuya@nims.go.jpPress release distributed by Asia Research News for Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.
