SEALSQ and Wecan Highlight Strategic Advantages of Quantum Readiness to Empower Swiss Banks and Insurers
SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) ("SEALSQ" or "Company"), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today announced the strategic advantages that Swiss financial institutions can gain by adopting quantum technologies early, particularly through SEALSQ's ongoing cooperation with Wecan, a Swiss-based provider of secure digital infrastructure for financial institutions.
Quantum computing is rapidly emerging as a foundational technology poised to reshape and transform the global financial system. As traditional systems reach their computational limits in areas such as risk modeling, option pricing, and fraud detection, quantum algorithms are expected to deliver exponential improvements in processing speed and analytical power. Swiss banks and insurance firms, long respected for their precision and security standards, are uniquely positioned to leverage these advances.
'Swiss banks and insurers operate at the highest global standards, and quantum technologies will help them stay there,' said Carlos Moreira, CEO of SEALSQ. 'Our partnership with Wecan ensures that the foundations of trust, privacy, and compliance are not only preserved but significantly strengthened in a post-quantum era.'
'Quantum is no longer a distant concept, it's a near-future infrastructure opportunity,' said Vince Pignon, CEO of Wecan. By investing now, Swiss institutions can secure first-mover advantages, redefine how risk is managed, and enhance their cyber-resilience in the face of increasingly complex threats.'
One of the most promising areas is stochastic simulation, where quantum computing can dramatically accelerate calculations used to price derivatives, measure value at risk, and forecast liquidity needs. These tasks, which require vast computational power when uncertainty is multidimensional, can be optimized with Quantum Monte Carlo methods and Quantum Amplitude Estimation.
In parallel, financial fraud is evolving into dynamic, adaptive behavior patterns spread across vast transaction networks. Traditional models are struggling to keep up. Quantum machine learning techniques offer the ability to map this data into high-dimensional spaces, uncovering anomalies that often are undetectable by classical systems.
To support this evolution, SEALSQ is working closely with Wecan to develop quantum-ready cybersecurity solutions that secure critical infrastructure and ensure regulatory compliance. Wecan's secure communication and compliance platforms, already trusted by over 100 financial institutions, are being integrated with SEALSQ's post-quantum cryptographic chips, paving the way for a secure transition into the quantum era.
As part of this transformation, Wecan is also advancing tokenized compliance frameworks through the Wecan Token, a decentralized credential system designed to streamline auditability, identity, and permissions across financial ecosystems. By embedding quantum-resilient security standards from SEALSQ at the core of the Wecan processes, both companies are enabling a next-generation layer of digital trust for the financial industry and beyond.
'The Wecan Token is our response to the financial industry's need for secure, programmable compliance,' said Mr. Moreira. 'By combining the optimization of KYC and KYB compliance processes with post-quantum security, we're not just preparing for the future, we're helping financial institutions own it.'

Jardine Matheson Holdings (SGX:J36) Will Pay A Dividend Of $0.60
Jardine Matheson Holdings Limited's (SGX:J36) investors are due to receive a payment of $0.60 per share on 15th of October. The dividend yield will be 4.0% based on this payment which is still above the industry average. This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality. Jardine Matheson Holdings' Payment Could Potentially Have Solid Earnings Coverage Impressive dividend yields are good, but this doesn't matter much if the payments can't be sustained. Before making this announcement, Jardine Matheson Holdings' dividend was higher than its profits, but the free cash flows quite comfortably covered it. Generally, we think cash is more important than accounting measures of profit, so with the cash flows easily covering the dividend, we don't think there is much reason to worry. Looking forward, earnings per share is forecast to rise exponentially over the next year. If the dividend continues along recent trends, we estimate the payout ratio will be 37%, which would make us comfortable with the dividend's sustainability, despite the levels currently being elevated. View our latest analysis for Jardine Matheson Holdings Jardine Matheson Holdings Has A Solid Track Record The company has an extended history of paying stable dividends. Since 2015, the dividend has gone from $1.41 total annually to $2.25. This means that it has been growing its distributions at 4.8% per annum over that time. Although we can't deny that the dividend has been remarkably stable in the past, the growth has been pretty muted. Dividend Growth Potential Is Shaky Investors who have held shares in the company for the past few years will be happy with the dividend income they have received. Unfortunately things aren't as good as they seem. Earnings per share has been sinking by 13% over the last five years. A sharp decline in earnings per share is not great from from a dividend perspective. Even conservative payout ratios can come under pressure if earnings fall far enough. On the bright side, earnings are predicted to gain some ground over the next year, but until this turns into a pattern we wouldn't be feeling too comfortable. In Summary Overall, we don't think this company makes a great dividend stock, even though the dividend wasn't cut this year. The company has been bring in plenty of cash to cover the dividend, but we don't necessarily think that makes it a great dividend stock. We would be a touch cautious of relying on this stock primarily for the dividend income. Market movements attest to how highly valued a consistent dividend policy is compared to one which is more unpredictable. Still, investors need to consider a host of other factors, apart from dividend payments, when analysing a company. As an example, we've identified 2 warning signs for Jardine Matheson Holdings that you should be aware of before investing.

Glenfiddich and the Balvenie's Parent Company Reports a Nearly 30% Profit Drop in 2024
It seems that tough times continues to hound the spirits industry, and scotch whisky is one category that is feeling the pain. Late last week, the family-owned company William Grant & Sons (owner of major whisky distilleries Glenfiddich and the Balvenie, as well as Milagro Tequila and Sailor Jerry Rum) reported a significant decrease in profits by nearly 30 percent in 2024. It remains to be seen how this year will play out, but that's a lot of ground to make up. According to a recent article in The Herald, WGS, which is owned by the billionaire Grant family, reported that its profits dropped by about a third in the year ending in December of 2024, and revenue was down by 6.5 percent. 'In a year marked by industry-wide challenges, the decline in revenue compared to 2023 is in line with market trends, including the continuation of significant destocking,' said a rep for the company in a statement. 'Despite these significant headwinds, William Grant & Sons maintained its commitment to quality and innovation. This was demonstrated by the announcement of Glenfiddich's multi-year partnership with the Aston Martin Formula One team in November 2024, bringing together two brands renowned for their heritage, innovation, and pursuit of excellence.'

Mansion Despite these challenges, Glenfiddich and the Balvenie remain in the list of top five best-selling single malts (rounded out by the Macallan, the Glenlivet, and Glenmorangie). And WGS completed the purchase of Naked Malt and the Famous Grouse this month; the latter is the best-selling blended scotch in the U.K., so presumably that will help sales figures. On the other hand, the company decided to partially pause production at its Tullamore D.E.W. distillery in Ireland this past spring, part of an ongoing trend in the whisky industry. (The company said production will resume this summer.) Of course, we are only halfway through 2025, so it remains to be seen whether these losses will continue or the course will be reversed, although the recent negotiation between the Trump administration and the E.U. resulting in a 15 percent tariff likely won't help. In the U.K., politicians are pressing him to ease the current 10 percent tariff on scotch that has been levied against the industry to the tune of about £4 million per week, according to the Independent. The situation remains fluid, but we will report back with any significant updates.
