Maase Launches Stars Project With Partners

-- Maase (MAAS) said Wednesday that its consolidated entity Huazhi Future Technology, along with China Power Computing Technology Application and Sino-International Yuzhi Technology, has launched the Stars Distributed Intelligent Computing Center project.

The project involves planned investment of up to 5 billion renminbi ($733 million), the company said.

It is designed to support the Chinese government's national initiatives to build an intelligent computing infrastructure network covering key regions, deliver standardized computing units, and enhance regional computing supply capacity and utilization efficiency.

The Stars Project will adopt a three-layer collaborative architecture to address challenges related to latency, bandwidth costs, and data compliance bottlenecks when deploying AI applications in end-user scenarios such as industrial and urban governance, according to a statement.

The company said the project will also promote edge computing and adopt a containerized, modular deployment method to address latency and data residency challenges associated with traditional centralized intelligent computing centers.

Daiichi Sankyo Raises Full-Year Forecasts on Forex Gains

Daiichi Sankyo (TYO:4568) raised its attributable profit forecast for the fiscal year ended March 31 to 2.5 billion yen from 1.7 billion yen previously, according to a Tokyo bourse filing on Friday.The pharmaceutical firm now expects earnings per share to be 103.26 yen, up from the earlier forecast of 70.16 yen, while the estimate for net sales has been slightly increased to 35.8 billion yen from 35.3 billion yen.The upward revision is primarily driven by a weaker Japanese yen compared with the company's initial assumption of 151 yen per U.S. dollar, resulting in significant foreign exchange gains on foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities.For the full year, the company recorded total foreign exchange gains of 609 million yen as non-operating income, though this was partially offset by a 227 million yen allowance for doubtful accounts and 301 million yen in derivative valuation losses.Despite these offsets, the company expects ordinary profit to significantly exceed prior forecasts, while the year-end dividend forecast remains unchanged.
