Assessment

Our Rating

A journalistic assessment by our editorial team at the time of the deep dive — it rates the company, not the entry point. Not investment advice and not a solicitation to buy or sell.

Substance risk

We found at least one documented issue that threatens the company itself — regardless of how the stock is currently valued.

Why this colour

Whoever buys today is betting that at least two of the five stories deliver before dilution and the cost base eat through the war chest — while carrying key contracts the customer can cancel at will, a certified control weakness and a group in permanent rebuild. Whoever waits checks three pieces of evidence in every new quarterly report (10-Q): the first invoiced C-14/Si-28 shipments, the closing and terms of the NOBA spin-out, and the trajectory of the share count. As long as that evidence is missing, the stock is a bundle of hopes at about 30 times continuing revenue. The decision is yours.

What the thesis turns on

Assessment: Opportunities & Risks

ASP Isotopes is a betting slip with five fields and a genuine war chest: roughly $290 million of liquidity, producing plants in Pretoria and TerraPower as a well-funded contract partner stand against zero revenue from the core business, 76 percent of 2025 revenue from an already-divested road builder, a $159.8 million loss, a share count that has more than doubled since the end of 2023, a certified control weakness and a pending class action. The scheduled first shipments of C-14 and Si-28 from mid-2026 are the first real day of proof. Not investment advice.

Liquidity & access to capital

$207.3 million in cash plus $83.2 million in short-term investments (March 31, 2026) after $371.6 million of financing inflows in 2025 — including a stock offering that raised $199.3 million net at $12.25 per share (October 2025). Per the 10-K, the war chest funds the buildout for well over twelve months.

Core business & commercialization

Both Pretoria plants have been in commercial production since the first half of 2025, and three Si-28 purchase agreements plus a C-14 contract with a take-or-pay clause are signed — but there is no enriched-isotope revenue yet; the scheduled first shipments (C-14 mid-2026, Si-28 Q2 2026) are the real litmus test.

Revenue quality & group rebuild

76 percent of 2025 revenue came from Hong Kong construction acquisition Skyline (bought August 2025, deconsolidated March 29, 2026); Renergen was acquired in January 2026 and slated for spin-out as NOBA in June 2026. A group that rotates faster than its filings makes comparability nearly impossible (10-K 2025; 10-Q as of 03/31/2026; 8-K of 06/25/2026).

Losses & dilution

Net loss of $159.8 million in 2025 (including $123.7 million of fair-value losses on its own convertible notes; operating cash outflow $37.8 million); share count up from 48.9 million to 125.9 million in 27 months (+157 percent), with another $199.3 million of QLE convertible notes awaiting conversion into equity.

Governance & reporting quality

A material weakness in internal controls (10-K 2025, Item 9A), 10-K and 10-Q filed only after deadline extensions, a securities class action following a short-seller report (S.D.N.Y., since 12/04/2024), the CEO's $2.5 million private investment in acquisition target Skyline, and 19 insider sales without a single purchase (data as of July 10, 2026).

Valuation & burden of expectations

Roughly $825 million of market value (data as of July 10, 2026) for a good $535 million of operating package net of cash — at about 30 times continuing revenue. The TerraPower agreements (terminable at any time), the QLE listing and the NOBA spin-out could make value visible; none of it is proven today.

Worth Noting

ASPI reached the research list via the Reddit hype scanner: just 2 mentions in 24 hours, but a jump from rank 785 to rank 233 of the most-discussed stocks (ApeWisdom, as of July 17, 2026) — attention building, no noise yet. In our in-house stock scanner, the stock appears in no ranking filter (data as of July 10, 2026).

Scanner metrics (P/S, Piotroski, Altman Z, fundamental grade) are computed on trailing twelve-month figures; the Skyline revenue (consolidated August 2025 through March 2026) is partly baked in, while the announced first shipments and the NOBA spin-out naturally are not.

Price and valuation figures are dated July 10, 2026 (around $6.40 per share, roughly $825 million market value); analyses are evergreen, daily prices are not a buy argument. The Noble Africa/ENDRA merger (agreement of June 25, 2026) was still subject to approvals and closing conditions as of this writing.

Shares Outstanding ?Total number of shares issued. Price times share count gives market cap. 153m
Float ?Share of stock freely tradable on the market — not locked up in the hands of founders, insiders, or major shareholders. 86.8%
Beta ?Volatility versus the overall market: 1 = moves like the market, 2 = twice as much, under 1 = calmer than the market. 3.6

Technical Indicators

MA 38 Days ?Moving average of the last 38 trading days: the smoothed price path. A price above it signals short-term strength. 3.90$
MA 50 Days ?Moving average of the last 50 trading days — the most widely watched medium-term trend line. 4.00$

Calculated from the price history · as of 09/18/2026

Valuation

P/E ?Price-to-earnings ratio: how many years of profit does the stock cost? The lower, the cheaper the valuation. No earnings means no P/E.
Forward P/E ?P/E based on expected earnings for the next 12 months instead of past earnings — analysts' bet on the future. 54.3
PEG ?P/E divided by expected earnings growth: puts valuation in relation to growth. Around 1 is considered fair, well above that is pricey.
P/B ?Price-to-book ratio: market value relative to book equity. 1.3
P/S ?Price-to-sales ratio: market value divided by annual sales. Important for companies that aren't (yet) profitable. 13.5
EV/EBITDA ?Enterprise value including debt (EV) relative to operating profit before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) — more comparable than P/E because debt counts too. Extreme values arise when EBITDA is near zero. -12.2
Price/FCF ?Market value divided by free cash flow: how many years of freely available cash does the stock cost? More honest than P/E because cash flow is harder to dress up.

Profitability

Gross Margin ?Gross margin: what's left of sales after only direct production costs are deducted — the product's pricing power. 18.3%
EBIT Margin ?EBIT margin: operating profit as a percentage of sales — the earning power of the core business before interest and taxes.
Net Margin ?Net margin: what's left of sales as profit after ALL costs, interest, and taxes. 0.0%
Return on Equity ?Return on equity: how much profit does the company generate per year on shareholders' equity? -103.3%
Return on Assets ?Return on assets: how much profit the company generates from its total assets (equity and debt combined). -17.0%

Balance Sheet & Safety

Equity Ratio ?Equity ratio: equity as a share of total assets. The higher, the more resilient the balance sheet.
Debt/Equity ?Leverage ratio: financial debt divided by equity. Under 1 is generally seen as solid; negative values mean negative equity. 0.9
Altman Z″ ?Edward Altman's bankruptcy early-warning score. We use the Z″ variant, built from four balance-sheet ratios — it is designed for service companies and non-manufacturers and uses book value instead of market value. On that scale: below 1.1 = danger zone, 2.6 and up = safe zone, in between a grey area. Because the classic Altman Z is calculated differently, the two numbers are not directly comparable. The formula does not fit banks, insurers, or real-estate stocks. 4.10
Piotroski ?Balance-sheet health check by Joseph Piotroski: 9 yes/no criteria on profit, cash flow, leverage, and efficiency. 7+ is very solid, under 3 is a red flag. weak 2 out of 9

Growth

Sales Growth Last Quarter ?Sales growth in the most recently reported quarter versus the same quarter a year ago (YoY). 279.30%
EPS Growth Last Quarter ?Growth in earnings per share in the most recently reported quarter versus the same quarter a year ago (YoY). 0.00%
Sales Growth (Year) ?Sales growth in the last fiscal year versus the year before. 475.51%
Forward Sales Growth ?Sales growth analysts expect over the next 12 months — an estimate, not a guarantee. 180.27%
Forward EPS Growth ?Earnings-per-share growth analysts expect over the next 12 months — an estimate, not a guarantee. 18.10%

Dividend

This stock currently pays no dividend.

Quality & Screener

Stage ?Weinstein phases 1 through 4: 1 = basing, 2 = uptrend (the only buy phase), 3 = topping, 4 = downtrend. Measured against the 30-week line. 3
RS Rating ?Relative strength from 1 to 99: an RS of 95 means the stock has outperformed 95% of all stocks. 57
EPS Rating ?Earnings growth rating from 1 to 99 versus all stocks — high values mean above-average earnings growth. 42
Fundamental Rating ?Our own Fundamental Rating: 0 to 100 points with an A+ to F grade. 50 points is the average across the universe, 100 the best possible score. It scores growth, earnings surprises, analyst estimates, margins, cash flow, and balance-sheet safety — every stock percentile-ranked against all others. Grades: A+ from 95, A from 75, B from 55, C from 45, D from 25, E from 5, F below. B (62 out of 100)

Highlighted are things our editorial team noticed: green = stands out as strong, red = deserves a closer look. No single metric is a verdict on its own — always read it in context.

What Do These Terms Mean?

EPS (Earnings Per Share):
Quarterly profit divided by the total share count — how much of the profit works out to a single share.
YoY (Year over Year):
Change versus the same quarter a year ago — this is how you compare without seasonal distortion (e.g. the holiday shopping season).
Sales:
All revenue for the quarter, before any costs are deducted — the top line of the income statement.
Net Margin:
What percentage of sales is left over as profit in the end. Negative means the company is posting a loss.
OCF (Operating Cash Flow):
The cash that actually flows into the till from the core business during the quarter — harder to dress up than book profit.
FCF (Free Cash Flow):
Operating cash flow minus capital expenditures — the money that's genuinely free to use, say for paying down debt, buybacks, or dividends.

Valuation

What is priced in?

Free cash flow over the past twelve months is negative, which rules out a serious reverse calculation. Any growth rate only makes a negative cash flow more negative; no present value comes out of it. What the price reflects here is therefore not a stream of cash flows, but the expectation that there will be one at all.

A simplified model calculation — not a forecast and not a recommendation.
