PETALING JAYA: MyEG Services Bhd’s (MyEG) earnings prospects remain bright going forward, thanks to its Zetrix blockchain platform.
UOB Kay Hian (UOBKH) Research said MyEG’s prospects remain rejuvenated with plenty of emerging catalysts such as earnings growth from Zetrix-related services and involvement in multiple Malaysian e-government projects.
The recent commercial launch of Zetrix cross-border services also provides assurance on stable recurring revenue and healthy cash flows moving forward, the research house added. After investing over RM1bil to develop its Zetrix blockchain, MyEG launched multiple applications on the platform.
This includes the Ztrade blockchain platform in the China customs, certificate of origin authentication services, smart contract verifiable credentials and blockchain-based digital signing and others.
UOBKH Research said some of these government-to-government blockchain applications under the Zetrix platform solidifies the company’s presence within the domestic e-government space, with more adoption across various ministries.

Leveraging on HeiTech Padu’s back-end system expertise, MyEG is able to develop a holistic platform incorporating its front-end solutions for various e-government projects in the future, the research house said.UOBKH Research is maintaining a “buy” call on MyEG with a target price of RM1.42.
