SIA Engineering (S59.SI) saw its stock soaring by 3.18% in Tuesday's intraday trading, building on the positive momentum reported earlier. This significant uptick comes on the heels of the company's announcement regarding share awards under its employee incentive plans.
According to a filing with the Singapore Exchange on Monday, SIA Engineering granted a total of 2,673,824 share awards. This includes 1,860,224 awards under its restricted share plan and 813,600 awards under its performance share plan. The grants were made on July 7, just a day before the observed stock movement.
The market's strong positive reaction to this news suggests that investors view the share awards as a bullish signal. Such incentive plans are often seen as a way to align employee interests with those of shareholders, potentially driving improved performance and value creation. While the initial report noted a nearly 1% increase, the continued momentum has pushed the stock even higher, reflecting growing investor confidence in SIA Engineering's strategic moves and future prospects.
