Upturn Advisory & Investor View for ASX

11/06/2026: ASX (5-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

The company is known for its strong scale, extensive technological capabilities in advanced packaging, and its ability to service a diverse range of high-profile technology customers.

Key risks include intense competition from foundries and inherent sensitivity to the cyclical nature of semiconductor demand.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
ASX receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
ASX has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and soft ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+23.3%) is partially offset by weak cash generation (FCF margin -3.1%), moderate revenue growth (+6.8%), soft profitability (net margin 6.3%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
ASX's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $-20.0B (-3.1% of revenue). Profitability is soft (2 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is ASX's strongest growth driver at +23.3% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, while free-cash-flow growth (-774.8%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 7.2% (soft) and 73.9% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable (solid). Insider ownership is only 0.00%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

UBS Group AG 0.35%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
ASX generates approximately $177 of gross profit, $79 of operating income, and $-31 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Negative free cash flow explains the 1-star rating, with weak cash conversion and soft capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 18.44%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
ASX has a high-quality, large-cap, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while elevated volatility.
