Original Reddit post

Author claims a leaked DHS contract worth $2.3B for border wall steel could go to Ryerson ($RYI), a sub-$1B market cap company, potentially tripling its value if announced at earnings.

RYI — LONG The author argues that Ryerson ($RYI), with a market cap under $1B, is one of only two bidders for a $2.3B DHS border wall steel contract revealed in an unblurred photo by the DHS Secretary. If Ryerson announces the win at earnings tomorrow (Feb 19), the author believes it could be a multi-bagger and triple the company's value overnight. The main risk is that this is a binary event and the contract may not be awarded to Ryerson.

If they bag this, they effectively triple their value overnight. This is a binary event.
