ASA International Group PLC ( (GB:ASAI) ) just unveiled an update.

ASA International Group plc expects its unaudited full-year 2025 net profit to double to about USD 57m from USD 28.5m in 2024, driven by disciplined execution of its growth strategy, a 37% year-on-year expansion of its gross outstanding loan portfolio to USD 628.4m, and an 11% rise in client numbers to 2.8 million. Loan growth was broad-based but particularly strong in Ghana, Pakistan, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya and Nigeria, while portfolio quality improved with PAR>30 falling to 1.8%, underscoring the resilience of its lending model; the group also reached a key digital milestone with the Temenos T24 core banking migration and new apps going live in Ghana ahead of a rollout in Tanzania, and strengthened its leadership bench with new senior appointments in Sierra Leone and Zambia, signalling a continued push for scalable, technology-enabled and sustainable growth in its core microfinance markets.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:ASAI) stock is a Buy with a £222.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on ASA International Group PLC stock, see the GB:ASAI Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on GB:ASAI Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:ASAI is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by below-average financial performance driven by high leverage and negative recent operating/free cash flow. Offsetting this, the stock shows constructive technical trend strength and stands out on valuation with a low P/E and solid dividend yield.
