Mint Incorporation Renamed Axonex AI Group, Ticker to Become AXNX on October 13
Mint Incorporation Limited has changed its name to Axonex AI Group Limited, effective September 28, 2026, as part of an official rebranding tied to its strategic pivot into artificial intelligence and robotics. The company's Class A ordinary shares are expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the new ticker symbol AXNX at the open of market trading on October 13, 2026, while the CUSIP number remains unchanged and the new corporate website is live at axonexai.com. The rebrand formalizes a transformation the group says has been underway over the past year, underscored by the launch of its wholly-owned subsidiary Axonex AI Limited and its majority owned subsidiary Rice Robotics AGI Holding Limited. Through those operations the company has introduced robot models and robotics solutions including the FLOKI Minibot M1 companion and home assistance robot, the NEX semi-humanoid service robot, and micro-insurance solutions purpose-built for commercial robots, and it says AI and robotics now account for an increasing share of revenue. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Damian Chan said the new identity is a definitive statement of strategic intent and that the company is allocating resources, talent and investment to make AI and robotics its main growth engine. Axonex AI said it intends to explore new robot models and series, pursue partnerships and joint ventures to acquire technologies and enter new market segments, advance synergies such as embodied intelligence and humanoid robots, and increase investment in research and development, laboratory facilities, manufacturing and talent, while retaining its established interior design and fit-out works business.

Kawasaki Heavy Industries Unveils Prototype of AI-Equipped Robot Dog "Home LEO"
Kawasaki Heavy Industries unveiled a prototype of Home LEO, a robot dog designed to support elderly people living at home, on the 6th. Using artificial intelligence, it can converse with people and act autonomously, helping seniors in their daily lives through everyday conversation and health monitoring. By continuously collecting data on lifestyle habits and preferences, it will be able to hold conversations tailored to each individual user, and the company plans to add a function that notifies family members and caregiving staff in the event of abnormalities such as falls, changes in physical condition, or mishandling of fire. The prototype appeared at a management briefing held by the company in Tokyo, where President Yasuhiko Hashimoto asked, "Where did I put my smartphone?" and the robot replied, "It's on the table, so I'll go get it," then demonstrated actually carrying the phone. The company will continue development and plans to bring it to market in fiscal 2028.

Cheetah Mobile Q2 Revenue Rises 9.9% as Cloud and AI Billings Top RMB500 Million
Cheetah Mobile reported second-quarter revenue of RMB266.1 million, up 9.9% year over year and 2.7% sequentially, while its non-GAAP operating loss widened to RMB25.6 million from RMB2.1 million a year earlier. Chief Financial Officer Thomas Jintao Ren attributed the larger loss to lower advertising agency services revenue within global enterprise services and continued investment in robotics commercialization. The cloud and AI infrastructure business was the main growth driver, with revenue up 83.1% year over year to RMB59.1 million, or 22.2% of total revenue, and gross billings exceeding RMB500 million in the quarter; Chairman and CEO Fu Sheng said the company expects cloud and AI infrastructure gross billings to exceed RMB2 billion in 2026, growth of more than 100% year over year, with related revenue surpassing RMB200 million. Robotics and other businesses generated RMB54.5 million in revenue, up 72.5% year over year, helped by the UFACTORY acquisition in July 2025, and smart mobility products began shipping and contributing revenue during the quarter, though the segment's adjusted operating loss widened sequentially to RMB34 million. Internet services revenue fell 17.3% year over year to RMB130.5 million, but adjusted operating profit in that segment rose 14.2% to RMB25.4 million as its adjusted operating margin expanded to 19.4%.
