Likewise, i believe the business is finally turning around. Whats more with a dedicated managment team and strong backing from Berjaya. But don't think it'll hit 52cts at end of the year. Vested
shd be at least on PAR with Raffles Educ.
Informatics is much more renowned and well known that R. Educ
nothing to argue and let the market prove whether we are right at end of year as MARKET IS ALWAYS RIGHT, and will be the most objective judge....seriously undervalued counter worth at least $0.52 (not for contra and for mid-long term investors)...judge us at end of year for our call....good luck

historically, Informatics Edu was the market leader before Raffles Edu came along and took the limelight when Informatics Edu made a mistake by expanding to fast to be able to satisfy investors expectation. Now that informatics is fully recovered and back to profitability, I expect the reverse to happen that it the share price of these two education company will converge. Buy Informatics which is on the uptrend. Older singaporeans need IT skills, not art/design skills for lifelong learning.
Dun mean to be a spoilsport here.. Are we buying into a hope that this will be the next Raffles Edu?
in red for many many years, now only just turn in misery profit of a few K for 1Q also happy like kite?? Jialat lah!
Will this piece of news create any impact on the business of Informatics?

hi victorf,
thanks. will thank your advice seriously as always. thanks once again.
cathylmg i think he says its long term 1-2years. good luck to all
Starts to cheong already. How far will it go today?
how much did you guys take up informatics at?
at 6 cents now, informatics is the most undervalued counter in SGX now...worth at least 52 cents in the next 1-2 years (recovery well in place)...not for contra and only for value investors and long term investors...patience is needed and buy and accumulate when no one notice it....once moved, it will be fast and furious before you can catch it....good luck :)
wonder when will Informatics and RE share price meet at half way at say around $1.30 per share
maybe 1 to 2 years from now?
now recovered, Informatics advance and great leap forward is going to be unstoppable. Read their advertisements in today's classified section under the Learning for Success. The market segment they are targeting are young and affluent students and professionals. Really hip and happening for the revitalised 25 year old establishment.
tomorrow is time for shopping spree. there is likely to be a CNY rally? This year so many gambling on CNY first day already. The 4D and TOTO queues so long
I am bullish on Informatics Education to continue to trend upwards. By moving back to the black, I am going to make my purchase move next Monday. Today's half day trade had buyers buying up at 6 cents inspite of the 340points fall in Dow Jones. I believe confidence is coming back and the share price will soar at least to the previous high in Aug 07, before the subprime issue hit the market. Back then Informatics wasn't back to profitability yet, now it is, is time for celebration.
finally informatics make a small profit after 17 quarters (4 years) of loss....achieve a key milestone and bodes well for future....based on many models and related educations stocks in SGX, informatics will be worth at least 52 cents in coming year (market efficiency will bridge the gap in price for long term)...only for long term investors and not for contra...good luck :)
NEWS RELEASE
Informatics achieved break-even in 3Q08
Singapore 5 February 2008 ? Main-board listed, Informatics Education Ltd, (?Informatics? or the ?Group?), a leading provider of quality education and training services, recorded a break-even quarter with net profit of $0.03 million for the first time in the last seventeen quarters. It also cuts its 9-month period ended 31 December 2007 losses by $1.0 million or 22% to S$3.7 million from S$4.7 million compared to the same period last year.
The Group?s loss from operations in 3Q08 was reduced by 81% to $0.14 million from $0.73 million compared to the same period of last year. This was achieved by a $1.71 million or 13% saving in staff costs, fixed asset depreciation and other operating expense to $11.0 million, in spite of a 4% decline in operating revenue. The operating losses were fully off-set by its bank interest income.
The Group?s operating revenue in 3Q08 decreased 4% to S$11.5 million from S$12.0 million in the same period last year. The group'
s revenue was affected by the on-going consolidation of Malaysia operations whilst the UK operations continued to show growth.
Informatics? star performer subsidiary NCC Education based in Manchester UK aims to achieve degree-awarding status over the next few years. NCC Education has a good track record in awarding and validating diploma and advanced diploma programs in the UK and through its global network of 253 centres 49 in countries.
Informatics? flagship domestic operation (Informatics Education Singapore Pte Ltd) was re-accredited and awarded the SQC status on 31 December 2007. This is an important milestone for the Group as it is a benchmark quality education stamp of the Singapore Education brand name which Informatics exports globally through its network of 93 centres in 23 countries.
More programs are being offered on the Group?s multiple delivery mode platform of e-learning, mobile learning and traditional paper-based distance learning under Informatics Global Campus. This will provide the Group?s geographically dispersed students a wide choice of programs and a combination of learning modes to suit their lifestyles.
Three Satellite Recruitment Centres (SRCs) will be in operation in Malaysia by March 2008. Two SRCs will also be opened in Vietnam and China in early FY2009. These centres will improve our international student recruitment either into Singapore or Malaysian campuses or facilitate students to take a course through our Informatics Global Campus.
?Over time, these strategies will see more international students enrolling in Informatics. This break-even quarter is significant milestone for the Group and it will serve to strive harder towards a full recovery.? commented Mr Val Ortega, Chief Executive Officer of Informatics.

patience is needed for this stock....when you see its parent Berjaya Corp price runs up from low of $0.18 (in 2006) to $1.16 (now), it is very positive...buy and keep for further move (only for value-investor not for traders)...good luck :) |

more than 1,600 lots buy up at 1 shot in the morn. looks like all the discussions by u guys really move this counter.
Unlike Raffles Edu, Informatics Edu is establised firmly and does not need to take up high risks such as buying lesser known China university for billions of RMB. China is hot but there are risks and traps, nothing is for sure. It will either make or break the venturer. But Informatics is firm and entrenched in its various global markets. Say, why did Raffles Edu not consider to takeover Informatics for a billion bucks? Maybe eventually it will when the China students are hungry for the best IT training. I am betting on Raffles Edu buying up Informatics eventually so as to really be the Asia Pac edu provider.
