On September 8th, Daiwa issued a research report stating that Bilibili (09626.HK) issued US$700 million in zero-coupon convertible bonds maturing in 2031, while Tencent (00700.HK) completed the sale of its entire approximately 9.6% stake. The bank views this innovative win-win-win structure positively, believing it eliminates Tencents long-standing pressure to cash out, brings Bilibili approximately US$400 million in new funds, and limits equity dilution through the immediate US$300 million share buyback and cancellation. The report states that Bilibili has used US$300 million of the proceeds to buy back shares. Based on the initial conversion price of the convertible bonds (approximately 35.2 million shares), the total dilution is approximately 8.4%. However, after deducting the immediate cancellation of the repurchased shares, the net dilution is limited to approximately 3.5%. The bank reiterated its buy rating on Bilibili. The bank believes the benefits outweigh the drawbacks because it immediately eliminates Tencents selling pressure and raises long-term zero-coupon funds at a cost far lower than ordinary offshore bonds.Songyan Power: Officially launched Scalabot, a general-purpose embodied intelligence technology brand.

Currently, the bank is not highly confident that Nike will continue to subsidize Topsports online distribution rights after the current fiscal year (ending February 2027). The bank lowered its net profit forecasts for Topsports for fiscal years 2027 to 2029 by 2%, 19%, and 18% respectively, while its sales forecasts were lowered by 1%, 5%, and 5% respectively. Based on an unchanged target P/E ratio of 11x for each historical year ending in 2027, the target price was lowered from HK$1.91 to HK$1.7. The bank maintains its "Buy" rating, considering the stocks double-digit dividend yield. The relative preference order for the Chinese sportswear sector remains unchanged: Anta (02020.HK) > Li Ning (02331.HK) > Topsports, all with "Buy" ratings.On September 8th, Futures News reported that Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria, and Oman reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining market stability, deciding to keep their daily crude oil production quotas for October at the same level determined in September 2026. OPEC+ will continue to hold monthly meetings to monitor market dynamics, with the next meeting scheduled for October 4th, 2026. Previously, the production quotas of these seven OPEC+ countries had increased for six consecutive months, and member countries are still working to determine new production quotas. During these six months, the organization gradually lifted production cuts, and the market still has sufficient capacity to absorb the increased oil supply. However, despite the significant increase in production quotas, the Strait of Hormuz is blocked due to the war between the US and Iran, and Russian crude oil exports are also restricted due to Western sanctions. In other words, since these seven countries crude oil is mainly for export, the increased quotas are meaningless given the export restrictions.
