As Majesco CEO Meets With
Investors, Stock Soars 20%
In a small private area at the E3 video game convention in Los
Angeles, Majesco CEO Jesse Sutton met with private investors
yesterday. Apparently someone liked what they heard. In
midday trading, Majesco is up over 20%.
Majesco showed off several of its DS and Wii products including
the anticipated A Boy and His Blob on the Wii, due this holiday.
Majesco, once a mighty third party publisher, converted into
a low budget video game publisher in 2006. The stock has
languished since then amid investor lawsuits and the economic
slowdown but in recent weeks has more than doubled in price.
Investors seem to be hoping for more success outside of Cooking
Mama and Jillian Michaels' Fitness, whose sequels will release
this holiday. Sims-like title Our House: Party! for the Wii
was also shown along with Flip's Twisted World and Go Play
City Sports also on the Wii. Majesco sports a 60 million
dollar market cap and analysts forcast a healthy profit of .14 for
the year.
