Article in The Star, some snippets:
Shares of MyEG Services surged at mid-morning on Wednesday after it was appointed by the government to compile and maintain database on the country’s foreign workers.
CIMB Research in a note said that it has raised MyEG's target price from RM5.28 to RM7.80.
It said the database will come from employers of foreign workers that must use MyEG’s online foreign workers work permit renewal services (FWPR) from 2015 onwards.
“We bump up our EPS forecasts by 38%-63% to reflect higher earnings mainly from the FWPR...."
Looks like MyEG got a pretty juicy contract here. According to CIMB Research the company was suddenly about 50% worth more, just because of this single contract.
Good news also for major shareholder Wong Thean Soon, who owns 44 million shares directly and 197 million shares indirectly. If the estimate of CIMB is correct than his worth has increased by more than half a billion RM.
Suddenly the highest regulatory settlement in the history of the Securities Commission doesn't look that large anymore:
"On 26 September 2014, Wong Thean Soon (“TS Wong”), entered into a settlement with the Securities Commission Malaysia (“SC”) in the sum of RM7,000,000 when he agreed without admission or denial of liability, to settle a claim that the SC was proposing to institute against him and 13 others for the manipulation of MyEG Services Berhad shares between 16 January 2007 and 24 April 2007, contrary to section 84(1) of the Securities Industry Act 1983."
it is sad to see that a lot of such cases had happened while the outcome always remained unknown
