    Strive Asset Management (ASST): Assessing Valuation After a Sharp Recent Share Price Slide

    Recent Performance Puts Strive Asset Management Back in Focus

    Strive Asset Management (ASST) has slipped sharply, with the stock down around 8% in a day, nearly 20% over the past week, and more than 40% over the past month.

    This kind of slide usually means investors are reassessing the story, especially with shares now trading under 1 dollar and year to date performance deeply negative for a relatively young Dallas based asset manager.

    See our latest analysis for Strive Asset Management.

    With the share price now at 0.9005 dollar and a steep year to date share price return firmly in the red, recent selling suggests momentum is fading as investors reassess growth prospects and near term risks for this young manager.

    If this kind of volatility has you rethinking concentration risk, it may be a good moment to explore fast growing stocks with high insider ownership as potential new ideas to research alongside ASST.

    With shares punished and fundamentals still unproven, is ASST now a deeply mispriced early stage asset manager for contrarian investors, or is the market soberly discounting future growth that may never fully materialize?

    Price to Book of 0.9x: Is it justified?

    ASST trades on a price to book ratio of 0.9x, below both peers and the wider US Capital Markets industry, despite its recent share price slide.

    Price to book compares a company’s market value to the net value of its assets on the balance sheet. This is a common yardstick for financials and asset managers whose value is closely tied to their equity base.

    In ASST’s case, the discount suggests investors are pricing in meaningful execution risk for a still unprofitable, newly listed manager, rather than paying a premium for its rapid early stage growth.

    The gap versus the US Capital Markets industry is stark. ASST’s 0.9x multiple sits well below the roughly 2x average and also under its immediate peer group’s 1.3x. This signals that the market currently assigns it a valuation more in line with a challenged or higher risk platform than a typical capital markets business.

    Result: Price to book of 0.9x (UNDERVALUED).

    However, sustained losses and limited operating history mean any setback in fundraising or ETF performance could quickly undermine hopes of a contrarian re-rating.
