Ley Choon Group Holdings has on Jan 20 received approval in-principle from the stock exchange to move its listing from the Catalist to the Mainboard.
The company, which specialises in underground construction works, had on Jan 5 announced its bid to make this move.
Ley Choon was first listed on the Mainboard back in August 2012 following a reverse takeover of Ultro Technologies.
It then changed its listing to the Catalist in Feb 2017 and it had to go through a debt restructuring exercise and has since made good.
The Mainboard listing will help in the company's "long-term strategic positioning" as a mature, profitable and growth-stage issuer.
In the most recent 1HFY2026 ended Sept 30 2025, earnings was $6.1 million, down 16.9% y-o-y; revenue in the same period was flat at $64.4 million. As of Jan 5, its order book was $325.6 million.
