Recent positive operational and partnership updates have often been followed by negative next-day price reactions, indicating a pattern of divergence between news tone and price action.
Over the past few months, Ambow highlighted expanding adoption of its HybriU platform, including strategic progress on Oct 21, 2025 with HybriU revenue of $1.2M and total revenue of $5.1M for the six months ended Jun 30, 2025. Subsequent announcements covered a global partnership with Bamboo System Technology, an AI-enabled training deal with The Forensic CPA Society, and launch of HybriU Adaptive Teach on Dec 3, 2025. Despite constructive themes, each event saw negative 24-hour price moves, providing context for how today’s Singapore partnership fits into a longer HybriU expansion story.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock moved +6.1% in the session following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with Ambow’s ongoing HybriU expansion, now adding a Singapore anchor center to its Global Learning Network. Historical news often saw price weakness despite constructive updates, so a sustained move would differ from past divergences. Investors could monitor how utilization of the Singapore HGLC and additional Asian centers evolve, as well as whether revenue from HybriU, previously $1.2M in the first half of 2025, continues to scale.

CUPERTINO, Calif, Jan. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ambow Education Holding Ltd. (“Ambow” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: AMBO), a global innovator of AI-powered phygital (physical + digital) solutions for education, conferencing and events, today announced that its HybriU Global Learning Network (HGLN) has entered into a strategic partnership with Singapore-based RHT Academy Pte. Ltd. to launch Singapore’s first HybriU Global Learning Center (HGLC). RHT Academy is a professional training and development organization with a well-established presence in executive and continuing education in Singapore. Under the partnership, RHT Academy will provide facilities and local support in Singapore, while HybriU will serve as the AI-powered phygital platform connecting U.S. universities with the HybriU Global Learning Center.
The HybriU Global Learning Network is a growing ecosystem linking classrooms, labs, and institutions through real-time, AI-powered connectivity. The new Singapore center will serve as a regional anchor and premium hub within the network, connecting U.S. institutions and international students across Southeast Asia.
Universities participating in the HGLN will gain access to the Singapore center to deliver degree or micro-bachelor/master certificate programs without establishing local campuses. Through the HGLN, U.S. universities can extend faculty presence via real-time, multi-location teaching; build sustainable pipelines of international students aligned with U.S. regulatory requirements; and establish global brand presence and overseas learning sites without upfront capital investments.
“Our strategic partnership with RHT Academy in Singapore represents a major milestone in our HGLN strategy, advancing our vision to build a global ecosystem that supports U.S. universities' ability to expand international enrollment,” said Dr. Jin Huang, Chief Executive Officer of Ambow Education. “Singapore is a critical education and talent hub in Asia. The new center will enable U.S. institutions to reach more students across Southeast Asia, while providing localized academic support and high-quality hybrid learning experiences aligned with U.S. academic standards.”
The Singapore HGLC will be powered by Ambow’s AI-enabled HybriU(TM) phygital innovation platform, which seamlessly integrates physical and digital learning environments to deliver superior global hybrid learning experiences.
Key functions of the Singapore HGLC will include:
Recruitment Support: Coordinated regional outreach, student counseling, and pre-admissions preparation to connect qualified international students with participating U.S. universities.
Access to HGLC Facilities: On-demand access to modern, fully equipped learning spaces designed to support hybrid instruction, workshops, design studios, faculty engagement, and experiential learning programs.
Localized Services: Language support, academic advising, orientation programs, and career-readiness services to ensure students prior to transitioning to U.S. on-campus study.
Ambow is currently in the process of evaluating additional HGLC locations across Asia.
