SINGAPORE, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As Asia Pacific accelerates its energy transition and digital expansion, Prysmian, the world’s leading cable solutions provider, continues to strengthen its role in enabling resilient, efficient, and sustainable infrastructure across the region.

With five decades of continuous operations in Singapore, Prysmian’s long-standing presence reflects a deep understanding of regional infrastructure needs—ranging from power grids and renewable energy systems to digital networks, transport, and urban developments.

AI Data Centres Driving Structural Demand

The rapid growth of AI data centres is reshaping infrastructure demand globally. These facilities require significantly higher power capacity, advanced digital connectivity, and robust thermal performance. Meanwhile, the scarcity of key raw materials, particularly copper—is exerting sustained pressure on supply chains and component costs. This surge extends to the broader technology ecosystem, where prices of key computer components—such as solid-state drives and graphics processing units—have risen by up to 30 percent, largely driven by AI-related demand. Against this backdrop, infrastructure solutions must not only deliver superior performance but also optimize material usage and long-term sustainability.

Engineering Innovation for Sustainable Performance

Responding to these challenges, Prysmian continues to advance cable technology that balances performance, efficiency, and environmental impact. Most recently, the company also introduced in Southeast Asia a new power cable design that allows us to deliver the same power as conventional cables while using less copper and featuring a smaller overall diameter.

This innovation, already successfully adopted in major data centres in other regions by Prysmian, is made possible through advanced optimisation of insulation and sheathing materials, allowing the cable to safely operate at temperatures up to 110 degrees Celsius compared to the industry norm of 90 degrees Celsius.

Key benefits include:

• Reduced copper usage, resulting in a lower carbon footprint during production
• Lower overall cost, addressing market pressure from rising material prices
• Lighter weight, enabling more efficient transportation and reduced emissions
• Smaller bending radius, allowing easier installation, reduced space requirements, and faster deployment

These features directly support long-term, sustainable infrastructure development, particularly in data centres, power networks, and high-density urban environments.

Sustaining Leadership in Energy and Digital Infrastructure

Backed by its global scale—107 plants, 27 R&D centres, more than 33,000 employees, and over €17 billion in revenues in 2024—Prysmian continues to support Asia Pacific’s infrastructure growth with proven expertise and innovation.

Singapore remains a key business and distribution hub for the Group, supporting customers across the region with advanced, high-performance cable solutions. Prysmian is also contributing to regional clean energy ambitions, including early-stage engineering and feasibility work on cross-border power connectivity projects.

Sustainability as a Long-Term Imperative

Prysmian’s innovation strategy is closely aligned with its sustainability commitments. The company aims for 55 percent of its revenue to come from sustainable products and solutions by 2028 and has committed to achieving Net Zero across its operations and value chain by 2035.

Recent global recognitions—including inclusion in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2025 and ranking among TIME Magazine’s World’s Most Sustainable Companies—underscore Prysmian’s progress in embedding sustainability into both technology development and operational excellence.

Looking Ahead

As infrastructure demand continues to intensify, Prysmian remains focused on delivering solutions that are not only reliable and future-ready but also designed for long-term environmental and economic sustainability.

With decades of experience in Singapore and across Asia Pacific, the company continues to invest in innovation, local capabilities, and partnerships to support the region’s next phase of energy and digital transformation.

Prysmian is a global cable solutions provider leading the energy transition and digital transformation. With nearly 150 years of experience, the company develops sustainable, high-performing, and innovative solutions across Transmission, Power Grid, Electrification, and Digital Solutions. Prysmian is listed on the Italian Stock Exchange and operates in more than 50 countries.

Elliott does not intend to tender its shares into the Revised TOB at the current terms and strongly encourages other shareholders not to tender

LONDON, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Elliott Investment Management L.P. and Elliott Advisors (UK) Limited (“Elliott”), which advise funds that together have a significant ownership stake in Toyota Industries Corporation (“Toyota Industries” or the “Company”), today released an investor presentation titled “Elliott’s Perspectives on Toyota Industries.”

In the presentation, Elliott, the largest independent shareholder of Toyota Industries, outlined its opposition to the revised tender offer by Toyota Fudosan Co., Ltd. at ¥18,800 per share (the “Revised TOB”), which Elliott believes very significantly undervalues Toyota Industries. Elliott’s analysis showed the Company’s intrinsic net asset value to be more than ¥26,000 per share as of January 16, 2026 – almost 40% above the Revised TOB price.

Elliott’s presentation also outlined the Standalone Plan for Toyota Industries, which offers a far more compelling option for shareholders than the Revised TOB. The Standalone Plan – including full cross-shareholding unwind and operational improvements – offers a clear path to an intrinsic net asset value of more than ¥40,000 per share by 2028, representing more than 120% upside to the Revised TOB price.

The presentation described the significant deficiencies in the transaction governance process and noted that if the Revised TOB succeeds, it would represent a setback for Japan’s corporate governance reforms and dampen investor interest in the Japanese market.

Elliott does not intend to tender its shares into the Revised TOB at the current terms and strongly encourages other shareholders not to tender.

DAVOS, Switzerland, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Envision’s pioneering green hydrogen and ammonia project in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia, has been featured as a premier global case study in the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) latest white paper, “From Blueprint to Reality: A Stronger Business Case for Shared Energy Infrastructure.” The report recognizes the Chifeng project as a transformative model for the global energy transition, highlighting Envision’s AI-driven Power System as the catalyst for turning intermittent renewable energy into a stable, “green petroleum” equivalent.

At a Davos roundtable, Lei Zhang, Founder and CEO of Envision, described China’s renewable energy leadership as a “civilization-level” advancement in global productivity. “Through our AI Power System, we are transforming the Gobi Desert into a ‘Green Oil Field,’ converting wind and solar resources into millions of tons of green ammonia,” Zhang stated. This approach reframes renewable energy from a volatile resource into a precise industrial tool, providing a scalable blueprint for global green industrialization.”

To clear the path for seamless international trade, Envision has secured a rigorous suite of high-standard certifications, including ISCC EU, ISCC PLUS, and RFNBO compliance, guaranteeing that its green molecules meet the strictest environmental and regulatory thresholds for the European and global markets.

The Chifeng project stands as the world’s first large-scale green hydrogen facility to operate via 100% green electricity. Unlike traditional plants that draw from a carbon-intensive grid, Envision’s global-leading AI Power System intelligently schedules and balances the variability of wind and solar power in real-time. This ensures a constant, high-efficiency energy supply for the chemical synthesis process, significantly lowering the levelized cost of hydrogen.

JERSEY CITY, N.J., Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Moomoo’s 28 million investors worldwide gained immediate access to Nasdaq’s newly launched Monday and Wednesday weekly options today, as the investment platform rolled out the expanded expirations on day one. The move delivers trading flexibility, allowing users to align options strategies more precisely with market events and opportunities. As a global strategic partner of Nasdaq, Moomoo celebrated the introduction of these groundbreaking products by livestreaming an exclusive discussion for its global community, featuring Neil McDonald, CEO of Moomoo US, and Tanya Patwa, Head of U.S. Options Sales, Nasdaq. The conversation provided cutting-edge insights into these newly available options and the evolving options trading landscape.

This launch follows recent SEC approval for Nasdaq to expand options expirations for a premier group of high-profile securities. The list extends beyond the so called “Magnificent Seven” stocks and includes nine major names: Tesla (TSLA), NVIDIA (NVDA), Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Meta Platforms (META), Broadcom (AVGO), Alphabet (GOOGL), Microsoft (MSFT), and the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) — beyond the standard Friday expiry. This move offers traders more granularity and flexibility, aligning single-stock options closer to the daily expirations seen in major indices.

Neil McDonald of Moomoo said, “We witnessed an explosion in options trading interest throughout 2025. Our data shows the number of options transactions surged 86% year-over-year. The introduction of Monday and Wednesday options is perfectly timed. Retail investors are savvy; when provided with proper training, access, and advanced toolkits, they are fully equipped to capitalize on market opportunities.”

User sharing in Moomoo community showcases that options are more than just speculative tools. Users actively leverage options to lock in entry costs, enhance profit potential, capitalize on market swings, and build a steady income strategy.

Unlocking New Strategies with Enhanced Flexibility

The new expirations unlock more strategic possibilities for traders of all levels.

• For fundamental traders, they can now align options strategies more precisely with key market events like earnings reports or economic data releases.
• For income-focused strategies like Covered Calls or Cash-Secured Puts, traders can potentially amplify premium collection by increasing trade frequency from once (with Friday options) to three times a week.
• And for sophisticated 0DTE (0 Days to expiration) options traders, these expirations enable them to strategically position themselves to either benefit from, or protect against, the amplified gamma-driven price accelerations these very contracts can create.

Moomoo supports this strategic depth by offering up to 13 built-in options strategies, from basic to advanced, allowing for both simplicity and customization.

Moomoo’s Powerful Toolkit Demystifies Options Trading

With greater choice comes the need for greater awareness. The enrichment of expiration cycles makes key options metrics like Implied Volatility (IV) more granular and event-sensitive. Traders must be mindful of risks, such as gamma exposure, especially around the expiration of short-dated options.

To help traders navigate this dynamic environment confidently, Moomoo provides an industry-leading suite of intuitive, real-time tools:

• The Options Chain: Presents all available contracts for a stock or an ETF, sorted by expiration date and strike price. It displays key real-time data—including premiums, volume, Greeks, and IV—for calls and puts, enabling quick opportunity and risk assessment.
• The Options Price Calculator: Allows investors to model how an option’s theoretical price may change based on the three key factors: time to expiry, underlying stock price, and IV. This helps in evaluating the reasonableness of a current price and planning entry/exit timing.

Beyond powerful technology, Moomoo is committed to investor education, offering free comprehensive online courses designed to sharpen options trading skills for beginners and advanced traders alike within its global community of over 28 million investors.

“The historic launch of Monday and Wednesday options signals a trend toward more frequent expirations, making trading more accessible and responsive,” Neil McDonald concluded. “Moomoo is proud to be a driving force in this new era. We will continue to partner with exchanges like Nasdaq and equip our users with the best tools and education to navigate the markets effectively.”
