Is ASIEX undervalued?
At 8.61 (close of 16 Oct 2026), ASIEX trades 14% under the GLS average fair value of 10.05. 3 of the 8 models that produced a value land above the price. A discount of this size counts as a positive margin of safety in every GLS screen; whether it is enough depends on the rest of the picture - the health score, the moat and the option premium below.
The 8 models disagree widely: GLS Growth gives 1.08 while 10 Cap gives 34.35. A spread that wide means the average is sensitive to which methods you trust; the model table below shows where each one lands, and the Quote page lets you switch any of them off.
The nightly engine files ASIEX under High Yield Income: a dividend yield above 4%.

| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | - | - | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital; no value tonight |
| Graham Number | 8.94 | +4% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 5.93 | -31% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 1.47 | -83% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 1.08 | -88% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 34.35 | +299% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 17.60 | +104% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 6.94 | -19% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 4.08 | -53% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -5.38 | -162% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 0.0000 | -100% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
On financial health ASIEX scores 8/9 (Piotroski): most of the nine tests - positive earnings and cash flow, falling debt, rising margins and turnover - are passed, which is the kind of balance sheet a wheel trader is happy to be assigned. The GLS Moat score is low at 3.8 out of 10, which says the ten-year record of revenue, earnings, margins and returns on capital has been inconsistent - growth and shocks rather than steady compounding.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC 2.4%, ROE 3.8%, ROA 2.4% - with debt at 0.56 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 19.9%.
The dividend yield is high at 5.48% (payout ratio 97%). A yield this size is often the market's way of pricing a risk to the payout, so the health score and cash flow matter more than usual.
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 8 / 9 | ROIC | 2.4% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 3.8 / 10 | ROE | 3.8% |
| Debt / equity | 0.56 | ROA | 2.4% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 19.9% | Payout ratio | 97% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
