Meta (META.US) acquires Accelerated AI race worth re-evaluation AI intelligent body concept outbreak MARKETINGFORCE (02556) closes up 5.83%

On December 30th, Meta (META.US) announced the completion of the acquisition of the AI startup Manus for billions of dollars, which quickly triggered a strong reaction in the capital market towards the concept of AI agents and is expected to accelerate the reevaluation of the value of the AI race track. As a high-tech scarce target holding both the concept of AI agents and a mature business model, the Hong Kong AI application benchmark company MARKETINGFORCE (02556) has successfully stood out in this wave of enthusiasm. Boosted by market sentiment, MARKETINGFORCE has shown impressive performance in the secondary market recently, rising by 5.83% today (January 2nd) to 37.06 Hong Kong dollars, achieving continuous gains for several days, fully demonstrating the market's enthusiasm for the AI agent race. Soochow stated that Meta's purchase of Manus for billions of dollars is equivalent to a repricing of agents, and market funds are more likely to converge towards targets that have real scenarios, deliverability and sustainable subscription revenue. CICC holds an optimistic attitude towards the incremental commercial potential of AI agents, stating that the commercial inflection point for AI agents will come with the emergence of general products, and the long-term market space has yet to be fully unleashed. From the commercial practice of AI agents, C-end agent applications lean towards universality, while B-end agents focus on specific scenarios. The recent rise in stock prices is not only catalyzed by the popular acquisition event, but also benefits from the intensive implementation of MARKETINGFORCE's iterative results. MARKETINGFORCE recently officially launched its independently developed AI-Agentforce 3.0 enterprise-level intelligent agent platform, transitioning from "tool-based AI" to "digital labor". This platform has been successfully implemented in multiple scenarios such as marketing, sales, and cross-border e-commerce, seen by the market as an important signal of the realization of value for AI applications. In addition, MARKETINGFORCE has deep strategic partnerships with top technology companies such as Baidu Inc Sponsored ADR Class A, Alibaba, and Muxi Group. By integrating underlying large-scale model capabilities with its own SaaS vertical scenario data, the company has been ranked at the top of the "2025 China AI Marketing Intelligent Agent TOP30" list due to its recognized technological maturity in the industry.
