特朗普考虑保罗·阿特金斯接任SEC主席，或推动加密货币监管转型

据彭博社报道，美国候任总统唐纳德·特朗普正在考虑由 保罗·阿特金斯 （Paul Atkins）接替即将卸任的证券交易委员会（SEC）主席 加里·根斯勒 （Gary Gensler）。阿特金斯以其支持数字资产的立场闻名，这一任命可能为SEC的加密货币监管政策带来重大转变。 事件概况 阿特金斯的背景 ： 阿特金斯曾在乔治·W·布什政府期间担任SEC专员。他一直推动制定明确且平衡的加密货币法规，力求为金融科技创新提供支持。 行业经验 ： 离开SEC后，阿特金斯领导了 Patomak Global Partners ，一家为主要金融公司提供咨询的机构。他主张简化监管流程以鼓励创新，同时确保市场完整性。 其他候选人 ： 马克·乌耶达 （Mark Uyeda）：现任SEC专员 希斯·塔伯特 （Heath Tarbert）：前商品期货交易委员会（CFTC）主席 罗伯特·斯特宾斯 （Robert Stebbins）：Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP合伙人 特朗普的亲加密货币立场 特朗普承诺终结根斯勒领导下的SEC“反加密货币运动”。根斯勒的任期因FTX崩盘等丑闻后的强力执法而备受争议，被批评为给行业带来了不确定性。 阿特金斯的潜在任命与特朗普的目标一致，即在保障市场完整性的同时，通过更加友好的监管政策推动数字资产的发展。 接下来会发生什么？ SEC主席的任命预计将在未来几天内敲定。如果阿特金斯接任，这将表明SEC将采取更注重创新的监管方式，为加密货币行业带来更大的确定性和发展空间。

Capital A 股价下跌，因外汇驱动的第三季度业绩低于预期

Capital A Bhd 在周五早盘交易中股价下跌7%，至1.01令吉，市值降至46亿令吉。这是由于其2024财年第三季度业绩未达到大多数分析师预期，尽管受益于外汇收益提振。 2024财年第三季度亮点： 核心税后及少数股东权益后亏损 (Latmi)：  1.434亿令吉，令2024财年前9个月的税后亏损达到1.195亿令吉。 业绩未达  香港联昌投资银行（HLIB）预计的7.549亿令吉的税后净利（Patmi），但与市场普遍预测的4.59亿令吉税后净利一致。 剔除例外项目 (EIs)：  共计12亿令吉，主要由于15亿令吉的外汇收益，但被递延税务损失部分抵销。 环比表现： 核心Latmi从上一季度的5,760万令吉恶化至1.434亿令吉，主要受以下因素影响： 季节性收益率疲弱； 成本增加； ADE MRO（维修、保养及翻修）业务因6个新机库的启动成本造成亏损。 未来展望： 预计2024财年第四季度表现将有所改善，得益于： 更高的机队容量； 季节性需求和收益率的改善； 喷气燃料价格下降及美元贬值； 来自新ADE机库的运营贡献。 待决事项： 航空业务出售：  正等待法院批准出售给亚航长途（AirAsia X Bhd, KL:AAX），预计在2025财年第一季度完成。 PN17状态：  出售后仍维持，预计在2025财年上半年完成相关解决方案。 联昌投资银行（HLIB）建议： 维持“买入”评级，目标价为1.68令吉，估值基于航空业务为68亿令吉，非航空业务为21.5亿令吉。 尽管短期面临挑战，Capital A 的长期增长前景依然受到更强的季节性表现和战略举措的支持。
