Huang Zitao successfully launches his sanitary napkins business
The singer, who held the launch in Dongyang, Zhejiang, shared that the business is an important turning point in his life, and that he hopes people will think of him as Huang Zitao the entrepreneur and not Huang Zitao the celebrity whenever they see the brand.
The sanitary napkin brand is sold for RMB49.80 for a pack of 62 pieces, and RMB 99.80 for 124 pieces. Each set includes mini pads, day-use pads, night-use pads, and sanitary pants.
Tao also disclosed the factory arrangement of his product, saying that the factory currently has three fully automatic production lines, which can produce 1,200 sanitary napkins per minute. It also introduced traditional and AI dual systems for stain detection, with a scrap rate of only 2 percent.
It is understood that the total investment in the brand was approximately RMB 275 million.
He also thanked his own wife Xu Yiyang during the launch, saying that the singer has personally tested the product many times and even made suggestions for research and development.

Flying car stock gets bold Wall Street call, rewrites urban mobility
Flying car stocks aren't just sci-fi movie magic anymore. These stocks have suddenly turned into Wall Street's new obsession. Recent trading activity has shown that investors can't get enough of electric vertical takeoff-and-landing (EVTOL) startups pitching city-sky shortcuts and massive billion-dollar markets. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter As you'd imagine, multiple players are fighting for the top spot, but fresh chatter suggests that one might've cracked a key performance boost that potentially flips the script. A scorching desert test run just turned heads and ignited fresh buzz in the hotly competitive flying car space. Image source: Bloomberg/Getty Images Flying car stocks have caught fire over the past year, and for good reason. Reports suggest that the flying-car market is set to explode, surging from just $243 million in 2025 to over $4.2 billion by 2035 (an eye-popping 34% annual growth). Urban air mobility alone could soar from $1.9 billion in 2024 to $12 billion in 2035, powered by friendlier regulations and rapid tech advances. Joby Aviation (JOBY) arguably remains the sector's poster child.

Additionally, Joby has locked in exclusive UAE launch rights and is looking to finalize Dubai vertiport sites with local transit authorities. China's EHang (EH) is another promising contender. Its Urban Air Mobility Exhibition Center in Shenzhen is live, targeting RMB 900 million in revenue this year, a massive 100% jump year-over-year. Archer Aviation (ACHR) is another big name that's turning heads in the crowded flying car race. What makes it an anomaly isn't just the sleek, 12-prop Midnight eVTOL or its swappable battery packs; it's the entire game plan.

It's also looking to build a massive $400 million Georgia plant and train pilots at its FAA-certified academy. Additionally, with a nifty $850 million fresh in the bank, Archer's ready to crank up capacity and take things up a notch or two. Wall Street research firm H.C. Wainwright slapped an $18 price tag on Archer Aviation, a staggering 80% upside after its Midnight eVTOL breezed through a testing desert trial in Abu Dhabi. Against scorching heat, fierce humidity, and swirling dust at Al Bateen Executive Airport, Archer's team proved its aircraft is more than just a lab demo. The flight was tracked closely by UAE aviation regulators, Abu Dhabi Investment Office officials, investors, and regional partners, signaling confidence in Archer's design and operational readiness. This test also provides crucial data needed for certification under harsh conditions, putting Archer on the fast track for regulatory approval.

Expanded regional trials will collect key performance data ahead of broader deployments. Wainwright isn't just cheering one flight. The firm estimates roughly $1 billion in sales for Archer by 2028, led by both aircraft sales and direct air-taxi services. Additionally, it expects the flying car upstart to churn out more than 400 Midnights annually by 2031. Archer's recent $350 million share offering also padded its cash till, leaving it debt-free and primed to take things to the next level. With the UAE's urban air mobility market pegged at $23.8 billion and over 20% growth expected over the next decade, Archer is looking to cash in big time. Archer Aviation stock is up 212% over the past nine months and skyrocketed 168% last year. A fresh 38% pop in just three months shows buyers still invest in this multi-billion-dollar growth story.

Alibaba Group Announces Proposed Offering of Approximately HK$12 Billion of Zero Coupon Exchangeable Bonds
HONG KONG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE: BABA and HKEX: 9988 (HKD Counter) and 89988 (RMB Counter), 'Alibaba,' 'Alibaba Group' or the 'Company') today announced a proposed exchangeable bond offering (the 'Bond Offering') by reference to the ordinary shares of Alibaba Health Information Technology Limited ('Alibaba Health') that are listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the 'Hong Kong Stock Exchange') (HKEX: 00241) ('AH Shares'). Subject to market and other conditions, the Company proposes to issue approximately HK$12 billion aggregate principal amount of Zero Coupon Exchangeable Bonds due 2032 (the 'Bonds') in a private offering to certain non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 'Securities Act'). When issued, the Bonds will be unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Alibaba Group. The Bonds will not bear regular interest. The Bonds will mature on July 9, 2032, unless earlier redeemed, exchanged or purchased in accordance with their terms prior to such date. Holders of the Bonds may exchange all or any portion of the Bonds at their option at any time on or after the 41st day following the issue date of the Bonds to, and including, the close of business on the fifth scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of the Bonds. Upon exchange, the Company may, at its option, elect to satisfy its exchange obligation by delivering AH Shares, cash, or a combination of cash and AH Shares, each in accordance with the terms set forth in the Bonds. The initial exchange price and other terms of the Bonds will be determined at the time of pricing of the Bonds. Alibaba Health is a consolidated subsidiary of Alibaba Group, in which Alibaba Group holds approximately 64% of equity interest. Alibaba Group expects Alibaba Health to remain a flagship healthcare platform and consolidated subsidiary of Alibaba Group both upon issuance and following any future exchange of the Bonds into AH Shares, and will continue close collaboration with Alibaba Health and members of Alibaba ecosystem to drive 'AI + Healthcare' industry transformation. Alibaba Group intends to use the net proceeds from the Bond Offering for general corporate purposes, including investments to support the development of our cloud infrastructure and international commerce businesses. Investor Hedging Transactions The Company expects that certain purchasers of the Bonds may employ a convertible arbitrage strategy by short selling AH Shares or by entering into short derivative positions with respect to AH Shares to hedge their exposure to the Bonds. Any such activity could take place concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the Bonds and could lead to any decline (or offset against any appreciation) of the market price of AH Shares or any securities referencing AH Shares, including the Bonds. Further, such investors may dynamically modify their hedges from time to time while the Bonds are outstanding, by short selling or purchasing AH Shares in secondary market transactions or entering into equivalent derivative positions, which could affect the market price of AH Shares or any securities referencing AH Shares at the time, including the Bonds. Concurrently with the pricing of the Bonds, certain bookrunners of the Bond Offering expect to facilitate a sale of AH Shares, representing the expected initial delta of such hedging investors' short position, in privately negotiated transactions solely to non-U.S. persons outside of the United States (such sale, a 'Delta Placement'). In connection with the Delta Placement, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the 'Lender') has entered into a stock borrowing and lending arrangement with an affiliate of one of the bookrunners (the 'Borrower'), pursuant to which the Lender has committed to lending a certain number of AH Shares (the 'Borrowed Shares') to the Borrower. The Borrower has agreed to on-lend a portion of the Borrowed Shares to the other bookrunners to facilitate hedging activities of certain investors in the Bonds. Other Matters The Bonds, the AH Shares deliverable upon exchange of the Bonds, if any, and the Borrowed Shares (collectively, the 'Securities'), have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any U.S. state securities laws, and are being offered and sold to certain non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase any securities, in the United States or elsewhere, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale of the securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. This press release contains information about the pending Bond Offering and Delta Placement of Borrowed Shares, and there can be no assurance that the Bond Offering and/or the Delta Placement of Borrowed Shares will be completed. About Alibaba Group Alibaba Group's mission is to make it easy to do business anywhere. The Company aims to build the future infrastructure of commerce. It does not pursue size or power. It aspires to be a company that will last for 102 years. Safe Harbor Statement This press release contains forward-looking statements.

JPMorgan says shares of this little-known online lender can rally more than 50%
Strong fundamentals and the potential for robust returns make Chinese online lending platform Qifu Technology an attractive buy, according to JPMorgan. The bank initiated the stock with an overweight rating and a $65 per share price target. JPMorgan's forecast implies more than 51% upside from Tuesday's close. Analyst Katherine Lei said Qifu's return on equity — a widely followed profitability measure — will grow at a 9% clip from 2024 to 2027, while its earnings expand at a compounded annual growth rate of 24%. That's the highest growth rate among Chinese lenders covered by JPMorgan, Lei said. She also pointed to the company's loan growth in recent years, despite heightened volatility. QFIN YTD mountain Qifu Technology stock in 2025. "From 2020-24, Qifu reported 84% growth in the number of clients with credit lines and an average net take rate of 3.9% on facilitated loans," Lei said. "Qifu has shown stable new loan growth and EPS growth vs peers during the macro volatility since 2020, demonstrating its operating prudency." "Additionally, we expect credit cost to decline due to higher write-backs," she said. The analyst also highlighted the company's cash hoard as of the first quarter of 2025, which she said sits at 37% of equity. This supports the case for buybacks and dividends. "Qifu's management has committed to reducing share count by 30% from 2023-26," Lei said. "We estimate that cash dividends and share buybacks will amount to RMB 5.9bn/12.7bn from 2025-27, equating to 82% of 1Q25 equity, or 43% of the current market cap." Shares have advanced roughly 11% in 2025. Qifu shares are not widely covered, but they are well liked by those who do. LSEG data shows that all 12 analysts covering shares have a buy or strong buy rating. The average price target also signals upside of more than 25%.
