–   Kevin Vyse-Peacock Announces Planned Transition After 25 Years of Global Leadership and Impact

–   Julie Talbot Promoted to Global CEO to Drive Next Era of Brand Modernization and Parental Support

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lansinoh®, a global leader in maternal care and infant feeding for more than four decades, today announced that Julie Talbot has been appointed Global Chief Executive Officer, effective April 1, 2026. Talbot, currently President of North America, succeeds Kevin Vyse-Peacock, who has decided to step away from the business after 25 years of global leadership.

Vyse-Peacock joined Lansinoh in 2001 to establish the company’s European business, building its first international office from the ground up. Over the following two decades, he played a central role in scaling the brand globally, navigating category creation, complex regulatory environments, and rapid international expansion before becoming CEO in 2010.

Under Vyse-Peacock’s leadership, Lansinoh evolved into a science-led, mission-driven organization with business growth nearly 300% over his tenure. His legacy includes navigating rapid international expansion and serving on the Board of parent company Pigeon Corporation to contribute a global perspective to its long-term strategy. Vyse-Peacock has chosen to step away from day-to-day leadership to focus on mentoring and supporting the growth of purpose-driven businesses, much like Lansinoh, while reducing the extensive international travel that has defined much of his tenure.

“Lansinoh has been a defining chapter of my life,” said Vyse-Peacock. “What began as a small entrepreneurial venture grew into a global organization with an extraordinary mission and an exceptional team. Together, we’ve helped enable more than 200 million mothers worldwide to continue breastfeeding, while building a brand grounded in science, empathy, and integrity. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved, not just in scale, but in the real, lasting impact we’ve made for families.”

“I leave Lansinoh stronger than ever, with a clear purpose, a deeply capable leadership team, and a profound connection to the parents we serve,” he added.

During her tenure as President of North America, Talbot led the evolution of Lansinoh’s brand mission, vision, and marketing positioning, increased investment in innovation, and brought the company’s consumer care function in-house, creating a model staffed by real mothers and certified lactation counselors to provide expert, peer-led support to parents during moments of greatest need.

“Kevin’s leadership shaped Lansinoh into the company it is today, driving its transformation from a small, single-product operation into a trusted global brand. His vision, resilience, and unwavering commitment to parents have left a lasting legacy,” said Ryou Yano, President and CEO of Pigeon Corporation, Lansinoh’s parent company. “As we look ahead, Julie’s experience building modern, trusted consumer brands enables her to bring tremendous depth of expertise to the CEO role. But it’s her most devoted role, mom to her young daughter, that gives her an authentic connection to the Lansinoh community — one that positions the brand for sustained global growth for decades to come.”

As Global CEO, Talbot will steer Lansinoh’s new era by unifying the global vision and strategy while honoring the brand’s heritage as a mom-founded, women-led company. Her leadership approach will ensure the brand evolves alongside the daily realities of today’s families, prioritizing science-backed innovation and empathetic, peer-driven support models. By scaling her successful North American blueprint globally, Talbot will accelerate solutions and expand innovation to simplify the complexities of parenthood while maintaining the brand’s commitment to a high-performance culture.

“I am honored to lead Lansinoh into its next chapter,” said Talbot. “This is a brand that supports families through some of the most vulnerable, joyful, exhausting, and transformative moments of their lives. I look forward to stewarding Lansinoh’s global growth while ensuring we continue to lead with empathy, science, and an unwavering commitment to parents and caregivers around the world.”

Results and Business Highlights

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 February 2026 – Sino Land Company Limited (Stock Code: 83) today announced its interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2025 (the “Interim Period”). The Group’s unaudited underlying profit attributable to shareholders, excluding the effect of fair-value changes on investment properties for the Interim Period, was HK$2,220 million (2024: HK$2,241 million). Underlying earnings per share was HK$0.24 (2024: HK$0.26).

Mr. Daryl Ng Win Kong, Chairman of Sino Land, and the Group's management will continue to uphold prudent financial management while striving to enhance operational efficiency and productivity to capture future opportunities.
Mr. Daryl Ng Win Kong, Chairman of Sino Land, and the Group’s management will continue to uphold prudent financial management while striving to enhance operational efficiency and productivity to capture future opportunities.

After taking into account the revaluation loss (net of deferred taxation) on investment properties of HK$682 million (2024: revaluation loss of HK$407 million), which is a non-cash item, the Group reported a net profit attributable to shareholders of HK$1,533 million for the Interim Period (2024: HK$1,820 million). Earnings per share was HK$0.17 (2024: HK$0.21). As at 31 December 2025, the Group had net cash of HK$51,402 million.

Property Sales – Accelerated sales momentum drives strong segment performance

Total revenue from property sales for the Interim Period, including property sales of associates and joint ventures, attributable to the Group was HK$6,912 million (2024: HK$2,448 million). Market sentiment improved notably in the second half of 2025, supported by the interest rate cut cycle, stronger financial market performance, and the inflow of talent and overseas students, all of which helped underpin housing demand.

The Group has won two government land tenders over the past six months, namely Tuen Mun Town Lot No. 569 on Hoi Chu Road in Tuen Mun and New Kowloon Inland Lot No. 6674 on Choi Hing Road in Jordan Valley. These acquisitions continue to reflect our confidence in Hong Kong’s long‑term prospects and our disciplined and strategic approach to replenishing the land bank with projects offering good development value.

Two new projects are scheduled for launch in 2026, namely La Mirabelle in Tseung Kwan O and the Wing Kwong Street/Sung On Street Development Project in To Kwa Wan. Total units sold from 1 July 2025 to 13 February 2026 reached 2,325 (attributable units: 1,052), mainly driven by the well‑received launches at Villa Garda, Grand Mayfair III and ONE PARK PLACE.

A diversified and balanced investment property portfolio reinforces long-term resilience

For the Interim Period, the Group’s attributable gross rental revenue, including share from associates and joint ventures, was HK$1,708 million (2024: HK$1,748 million), representing a decrease of 2.3% year-on-year. This decline was mainly due to the soft retail environment at the beginning of 2025, which put pressure on rental reversions, although retail sentiment improved sequentially. Overall occupancy of the Group’s investment property portfolio remained stable during the Interim Period.

Hong Kong remains well positioned to leverage its status as an international hub and financial centre, highlighted by the 119 new listings that ranked the city first globally in IPO fundraising in 2025. Supported by the HKSAR Government, the strong uptake of talent schemes and robust financial market activity strengthen overall market sentiment and lay a solid foundation for sustained business growth. The Group is actively implementing targeted marketing and promotional campaigns to stimulate foot traffic to its malls and drive retail consumption.

As at 31 December 2025, the Group has approximately 13.5 million square feet of attributable floor area of investment properties and hotels in the Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong, Singapore and Sydney.

Hotel Operations – Continuous improvement in occupancy rates

For the Interim Period, the Group’s hotel revenue, including attributable share from associates and joint ventures, was HK$822 million compared to HK$794 million in the last interim period, and the corresponding operating profit was HK$289 million (2024: HK$261 million).

Hong Kong continued to see a solid tourism rebound in 2025, with visitor arrivals recovering amid an increasingly vibrant event calendar. With a diverse pipeline of events scheduled for 2026, including the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Finance Ministers’ Meeting, the Group remains confident in the outlook for Hong Kong’s tourism sector.

With solid fundamentals and balance sheet, the Group is well-positioned to capitalise on opportunities

The Group continues to make steady strides on its sustainability journey. In the Interim Period, Sino Land was recognised in CDP’s Climate Change A List and named Global Sector Leader in the Residential category of the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark, achieving the highest five‑star rating in both Development Benchmark and Standing Investment Benchmark. The Company also received MSCI’s top ‘AAA’ ESG rating, up from ‘AA’. These recognitions reaffirm Sino Land’s commitment to promoting ESG and sustainability.

‘As the Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong are poised to attract increasing global capital inflows from investors, I am encouraged by the notable improvement in the economic and operating environment since the second half of 2025. Supported by the Government’s measures, more than 270,000 talent have been attracted to Hong Kong to date, while visitor arrivals and the establishment of family offices have both recorded double‑digit growth in recent years. Hong Kong also ranked first globally in IPO fundraising last year, which has helped strengthen market sentiment and support the upward trajectory. The newly announced Budget is closely aligned with the nation’s development strategy and the 15th Five‑Year Plan across key priority areas. It fosters the development of the Northern Metropolis and innovation and technology, further highlighting Hong Kong’s close connectivity with Chinese Mainland and the world, as well as its large pool of talent. These initiatives are expected to help draw additional talent, enterprises and capital, and to reinforce international investors’ confidence in the Hong Kong market.

Amid expectations of further interest rate cuts and a solid recovery in tourism, the Group remains optimistic about the overall outlook and expects the residential market to retain its momentum. We will continue to uphold prudent financial management while striving to enhance operational efficiency and productivity. With a solid financial position and forward‑looking strategies, we are well positioned to capture future opportunities and deliver sustainable long‑term value for our investors,’ said Mr. Daryl Ng Win Kong, Chairman of Sino Land.

Bybit and Block Scholes Report Highlights Diverging Signals in Bitcoin Derivatives Markets

By
Advertorial Desk
-

DUBAI, UAE, Feb. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has released the latest Bybit x Block Scholes Crypto Derivatives Analytics report, analyzing recent volatility, positioning, and sentiment across Bitcoin and Ethereum derivatives markets.

The report details how Bitcoin broke out of a prolonged low-volatility range after briefly falling to $62,000, followed by a sharp rebound toward the $68,000 level. While spot prices have recovered much of the decline, derivatives markets continue to signal caution.

Key findings:

  • Bitcoin’s realized volatility rose sharply after weeks of consolidation.
  • Options markets aggressively priced downside risk during the sell-off but did not reprice higher on the rebound.
  • One-week at-the-money implied volatility climbed to about 60%, leaving the front end of the volatility curve mildly inverted.
  • Put skew eased from extreme levels but remains biased toward downside protection.
  • Perpetual futures open interest has continued to decline, indicating limited appetite for leveraged exposure.

“The $70,000 psychological level has thwarted Bitcoin bulls for much of this month, keeping the world’s oldest and largest cryptocurrency on course for its fifth consecutive monthly decline,” said Han Tan, Chief market analyst at Bybit Learn. “Still, as crypto’s fundamentals remain supportive, the current confidence crisis may ultimately create space for a strong bullish narrative to emerge. Flows could reverse once macro clarity improves, particularly around Federal Reserve policy or U.S. trade policy.”

The report shows that despite the rebound in spot prices, derivatives markets remain defensively positioned. Short-dated options continue to reflect demand for protection against renewed downside, and volatility levels during the recovery remain notably lower than those seen at the height of the sell-off.

Broader indicators reinforce the cautious outlook. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have recorded net outflows for four consecutive months, placing Bitcoin on track for its fifth straight monthly decline, a pattern last observed during the bear market following the 2018 ICO cycle. Ethereum shows a similar setup, with spot Ether ETFs nearing a fourth month of net outflows since their launch in July 2024. Weak retail sentiment and declining leverage further underscore the lack of conviction behind the recent price recovery.

The full Bybit x Block Scholes report is available for download.

HONG KONG, Feb. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lingnan University welcomed nearly 200 higher education leaders from all over the world at its Tuen Mun campus today (27 February). The visit was one of the main activities of the 2026 Asia-Pacific Association for International Education (APAIE) Conference and Exhibition. Through campus tours and interactive exchanges, Lingnan showed its internationalised learning environment and innovative teaching facilities, actively highlighting Hong Kong’s unique advantages as an international higher education hub. The University also promoted the “Study in Hong Kong” brand, which aims to attract more non-local students to study and work in the city. Lingnan’s senior management, academic staff, and students explored opportunities to work with representatives of student exchange programmes, research partnerships, and talent recruitment.

Nearly 200 higher education leaders from all over the world visit the Lingnan University campus.

Prof S. Joe Qin, President and Wai Kee Kau Chair Professor of Data Science at Lingnan University, addressed the distinguished guests, saying “The University’s Lingnan-60 Global Talent Recruitment programme has rapidly assembled a top-tier engineering, artificial intelligence, and data science faculty, excelling in innovation and with great international influence. By adopting a distinctive Liberal Arts + Technology education model, we provide students with opportunities for whole-person development and interdisciplinary academic exchange. We are taking this opportunity to demonstrate Lingnan’s position as a leading research-oriented liberal arts university, comprehensive in arts and sciences in the digital era, to foster closer collaborative relationships with the global higher education community, to attract more non-local talents to the Lingnan family, and to nurture future leaders with an ambitious international vision.”

There were presidents, senior management, and representatives from many of the world’s top 100 universities, as well as highly respected institutions such as Nanyang Technological University, KU Leuven, UC Berkeley, Korea University, and the University of Warwick. Led by Prof Bradley R. Barnes, Special Advisor to President on Internationalization and Director of Global Education at Lingnan University, together with a group of Lingnan students, the delegation toured campus facilities epitomising cultural diversity, and visited the student residences. The visit showed how exchange students from around the world engage with faculty and peers at Lingnan University through shared spaces and residential activities, and learn to appreciate of the spiritual values inherent in Chinese culture.

The delegation also visited the new Wu Jieh Yee Lingnan Hub, a multipurpose complex designed for shared living and contact between faculty and students, and to encourage closer connections within the Lingnan community. They also toured the seven-storey Lingnan Education Organization Building currently under construction, which will be equipped with state‑of‑the‑art teaching and research facilities, and house the School of Data Science and the interdisciplinary research hub, strengthening Lingnan’s academic and research excellence.

Seemi NISAR, a Year 4 Economics student from Pakistan, shared her learning experience during the exchange session: “These past few years can be summed up in one phrase—’stepping out of my comfort zone’. Although I initially faced the unknown and challenges when I came to Hong Kong, it was through these experiences that I gained the most valuable opportunities for learning and personal growth. Lingnan’s exchange programmes, internship opportunities, and service-learning initiatives have allowed me to accumulate rich international experience beyond academics, and truly feel my holistic development.”

Zhansaya MAKHAMBETALIYEVA, a Year 1 Data Science student from Kazakhstan, added: “Lingnan offers a learning environment that combines rigorous academic training with diverse extracurricular experiences, enabling students to challenge themselves and gain a sense of accomplishment in a multicultural setting, beyond the classroom.”

Lingnan University supports the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China in making Hong Kong into an international post-secondary education hub, and promotes the ‘Study in Hong Kong’ brand. The University’s international influence has grown, and it came first globally for SDG 4: Quality Education in the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Impact Rankings 2025. For the first time, Lingnan was also in the top 301–350 universities worldwide of the THE World University Rankings 2026, and its international outlook placed 47th. Over 20 per cent of Lingnan scholars are on Stanford University’s list of the World’s Top 2% Scientists.

The APAIE Conference and Exhibition, one of the three most successful international education conferences, is sponsored and hosted this year by the eight Hong Kong universities funded by the University Grants Committee. Themed “Asia-Pacific Partnerships for the Global Good”, it will bring together over 3,000 higher education leaders and experts from more than 70 countries and regions to explore critical issues and emerging trends in higher education. The APAIE Conference and Exhibition will also have pre-workshops, keynote lectures, parallel sessions, roundtable discussions, networking functions, and local university campus tours.

NEUSTADT AN DER WEINSTRASSE, GERMANY – Newsaktuell – 27 February 2026 – The song describes the challenge of trusting the flow, relying on oneself, following one’s own values with confidence.

Valle Venia presents new song by LPS feat. Lara: Where will it take me Picture: Leo Philipp Schmidt

In a time when everything seems to begin to dissolve, when disorientation prevails more than ever and when one is searching for something to hold on to, certainty can be found in uncertainty.

Lara’s authentic interpretation, with her multi-faceted voice, conveys confidence in finding a way for oneself and others.

In the faceless, noisy crowd, where glances are not returned and touches are not felt, one is pulled away by an invisible hand.
