Anthropic in Talks for New Financing at US$900B Valuation, Higher Than OpenAI: Rumor

Anthropic is in talks with investors for a new round of financing, targeting a valuation of US$900 billion, surpassing OpenAI's US$852 billion valuation in a funding round in late March, CNBC quoted sources as saying.

A few days ago, Anthropic released the Claude Mythos Preview, a model equipped with advanced cybersecurity features and available only to select companies, which sent shockwaves through Wall Street.

Mythos is also one of the reasons Anthropic is seeking new funding, as Anthropic needs sufficient capital to purchase the computing power required to run Mythos.

SHANGHAI, April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On 28 April, Fosun Pharma ("the Company", stock code: 600196.SH; 02196.HK) announced its results for the first quarter of 2026 (the reporting period). During the reporting period, the Company achieved a total revenue of RMB 10,073 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 6.93%. Regarding R&D investment, the Company firmly implemented its innovation transformation strategy. During the reporting period, the R&D expenditure increased to RMB 897 million, increased by 1.59% YoY. While increasing the R&D intensity, the Company maintained a positive growth trend in profit. Net profit attributable to shareholders of the list company after deducting extraordinary gain or loss was RMB 501 million, up 21.96% year-on-year. Net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company was RMB 871 million, increased by 13.87% YoY. Net cash flows generated from operating activities was RMB 1,149 million, up 8.8% YoY.

In the first quarter of 2026, guided by the strategy of "Innovation Driven, Deep Globalization, and AI Embracement", Fosun Pharma firmly continued to advance its innovation transformation, promoted the deep synergy between innovation and R&D and global operations, and further enhanced the foundation for high-quality development. Driven by the continuous increase in R&D investment, the Company's transformation of innovative achievements continues to materialize. During the reporting period, the NDA for 4 Innovative Drugs were accepted by the NMPA or the U.S. FDA, and 14 clinical trials for Innovative Drugs (calculated by approval) were approved by domestic and overseas regulatory authorities, covering core therapeutic areas such as oncology. In the Pharma R&D Annual Review 2026 white paper released by the world-known consulting firm Citeline, Fosun Pharma ranked among the global top 20, gained international professional recognition for its innovative R&D strength and pipeline quality.

Deepening Core Technology Platforms to Consolidate Advantages in Oncology and Other Fields

Fosun Pharma has established an open-ended R&D system that combines in-house R&D, co-development, licensing, fund incubation, and industrial investment, also focused on strengthening core technology platforms such as antibodies/ADC, small molecules, and cell therapy, continuously consolidating its innovation moat in core therapeutic areas including oncology.

In the field of antibody/ADC technology platform, Shanghai Henlius, a subsidiary of Fosun Pharma, has steadily advanced the approvals and clinical progress of several self-developed biological drugs. Notably, denosumab injection (HLX14) secured approval in Canada in March 2026, covering all indications of the reference product approved locally, achieving a global commercialization breakthrough in areas such as osteoporosis, bone metastasis from tumors, and giant cell tumor of bone. The NDA for bevacizumab injection (HLX04) was accepted in the U.S., marking a new milestone in the Company's international registration capabilities for biosimilars. HLX43, an antibody-drug conjugate targeting PD-L1, is expected to create synergy with HLX07 or serplulimab injection for the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer and other solid tumors. HLX3901, a tetraspecific antibody of DLL3×DLL3×CD3×CD28, received approval for clinical trial, demonstrating significant potential in refractory solid tumors through multi-target synergistic activation of immune cells.

In the field of small molecule innovative drug platform, in January 2026, the NDA for foritinib succinate capsules (SAF-189), Fosun Pharma's Class 1 innovative drug, was accepted by the NMPA, intended for the treatment of patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), expected to provide a new option for precision treatment of lung cancer.

This marks a critical step toward full-age coverage following its approval for pediatric and adolescent NF1 patients in May 2025, also brings new hope to a large number of adult NF1 patients in China who lack effective drug treatments. Additionally, the NDA for methoxyetomidate hydrochloride injection (ET-26), a Class 1 innovative drug self-developed by the subsidiary Avanc Pharma for anesthesia induction and short-term surgical anesthesia, was also accepted.

In the field of prospective layout of early-stage pipeline, several new molecules have been approved for the clinical trials: FXB0871, a PD-1-targeted IL-2 fusion protein, was approved for clinical trials in locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. Based on the ATTENUKINE™ platform, FXB0871 is expected to achieve high efficacy and low toxicity. FXS0683, a next-generation Bcl-2 inhibitor, was approved for Phase I clinical trials in hematological malignancies. Innovative molecule including HLX97 (a KAT6A/B small molecule inhibitor) and HLX3901 (tetra specific antibody of DLL3×DLL3×CD3×CD28) were approved for clinical trials, widely covering refractory solid tumors such as breast cancer and small cell lung cancer. Meanwhile, HLX22 (anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody) entered phase II clinical trials for the first-line treatment of HER2-positive recurrent or metastatic breast cancer in combination with HLX87. HLX43 (PD-L1 ADC) in combination with HLX07 or serplulimab injection, and HLX701 (CD47 fusion protein), among others, have entered Phase I clinical trials, further enhancing the Company's layout in the fields of tumor immunology and targeted therapy.

Expanding Global Commercialization Network and Enhancing Academic Influence

During the reporting period, Fosun Pharma's global registration and commercialization network continued to expand. The overseas registration of products like denosumab and bevacizumab progressed steadily. The Company reached deep collaborations with global partners such as Eisai and Abbott to accelerate the market coverage of innovative products in Japan, Asia-Pacific, Middle East, Africa, and Eastern Europe.

In the academic field, several innovation achievements were presented at top international conferences such as AACR and ASCO. The Phase III study data of luvometinib tablets for adult patients with neurofibromas type 1 (NF1) with symptomatic, inoperable plexiform neurofibromas (PN) was selected for a rapid oral abstract session at 2026 ASCO, the study results will be released for the first time during the meeting. At the 2026 AACR Annual Meeting, Shanghai Henlius, a Fosun Pharma's subsidiary, presented preclinical data for the novel trispecific T-cell engager HLX3902 and the tetraspecific antibody HLX3901, demonstrating best-in-class treatment potential, building a solid foundation for the future clinical development.

AI Embracement: Driving Digital Transformation via FoSTRAID

Fosun Pharma continues to deepen its digitalization and AI strategic layout, and systematically advances the platformisation, engineering and scaled implementation of AI capabilities focusing on core aspects such as new drug R&D, clinical research, products and services, and operation management. On this basis, the fully AI- embracing strategy centered on FoSTRAID (Fosun Pharma Strategic Transformation via AI & Data science) was further defined and steadily advanced. By integrating resources, a digital-intelligence architecture that promotes synergistic development across "foundation — platform — data — agent — scenario — mechanism" has been established.

Looking ahead, Fosun Pharma will continue to adhere to the dual drivers of innovation and globalization, deepen its core technology platforms, promote the implementation of AI strategy and accelerate the transformation of its pipeline and global market access.

CATL and HyperStrong Sign the World's Largest Sodium-Ion Energy Storage Cooperation Agreement

NINGDE, China, April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On April 27, CATL and HyperStrong signed a strategic cooperation agreement on sodium-ion batteries for energy storage in Ningde, Fujian. The two parties announced a three-year partnership covering 60GWh of sodium-ion battery supply, marking a significant milestone for the industrialization of sodium-ion batteries technology.

As CATL's first strategic partner for sodium-ion energy storage, HyperStrong will work closely with CATL in areas including technology R&D, product applications, and project deployment.

This partnership marks CATL's successful breakthrough across the entire value chain for mass production of sodium-ion batteries, giving the company the capacity for large-scale delivery. It also represents the largest sodium-ion battery supply agreement in the world to date, ushering in a new phase of large-scale expansion for the global sodium-ion battery industry.

Through morphology control and surface modification, CATL has significantly enhanced the energy density of sodium-ion batteries. On the manufacturing side, the Company has systematically addressed key process challenges in mass production—such as foaming in hard carbon production lines and moisture control—by leveraging core technologies including angstrom-level pore size regulation, surface molecular water-locking, and adaptive dynamic formation, thereby ensuring consistency across large-volume production.

Sodium-ion batteries offer excellent adaptability across a wide temperature range, deliver outstanding high-temperature cycle life, generate less heat during operation, and experience lower cell expansion stress, resulting in superior safety and stability. In long-duration energy storage applications, system integration can be effectively simplified, reducing auxiliary energy losses and comprehensively improving overall plant efficiency and economic performance.

In addition, CATL's sodium-ion energy storage batteries feature a platform-based design with the same form factor as lithium-ion batteries, ensuring high compatibility with the existing industrial chain. This effectively reduce adaptation costs and significantly shortens the timeline from product readiness to power station deployment.

The 60GWh sodium-ion battery cooperation marks a major milestone for both parties. As sodium-ion technology enters a phase of large-scale development, the two sides will continue to deepen collaboration, promote high-quality growth of the energy storage industry, and provide more resilient and diversified technological support for the global energy transition.
