Magal Security Systems Ltd. got thier wish this tuesday, as they had been hoping for a Trump win this election season. According to the Independent, this was because of Trump's plan to finish the border wall between the U.S. and Mexico, for which Magal is a serious contender.
As has been clear from day one, Trump made it a point throughout his campaign that he would build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico to keep out illegal immigrants, although it is unclear whether his plan is to replace the 1,900-mile border wall that exists in urban areas or add on to it.
The company would be a contender for the contract, as it has experienced some gains over the years after it expanded from the Gaza strip to Egypt, Somalia, and other countries in Africa.
Thomas Penny of Bloomberg News reported that Magal saw a 6 percent increase in shares Wednesday.
“We would join forces with a major US defense company that has experience with such projects worldwide,” Magal CEO Saar Koursh told Bloomberg in August. “We’ve done it in the past and we would definitely want to do it.”
The company had previously seen gains in business with the rise of fears over ISIS amid the Syrian refugee crisis.
Magal has built “smart fences” equipped with video cameras, sensors, and satellite surveillance around the Gaza strip along Israel’s border with Egypt and Jordan, and in the West Bank to separate Israel’s cities from Palestinian territories, the Los Angeles Times reported - Walls that for the most part have been rather successful at keeping infiltrators out of Israel.
While only time will tell if Trump indeed uses Magal as the framers of his "Build A Wall plan, its rise in share value, simply show how serious people took Trumps words, and that my friends is a good thing.
