Valuation
ASHhas no positive reported earnings per share, so an earnings-multiple projection can't be built for it. Companies are valued on other measures at this stage — revenue growth, cash burn, or book value — none of which this calculator models.

Insider trading
Open-market buys and sells by ASH officers and directors.
No open-market trades in the recent filings. All 100 recent Form 4 entries were share awards, option exercises or tax withholding — pay, not decisions to buy or sell.
100 further Form 4 entries are share awards, option exercises or shares withheld for tax. Those are compensation, not trades, so they are excluded above. Buying is the stronger signal: an insider spends their own money for one reason. Selling has many innocent explanations — tax, diversifying, a house — so it says far less than it appears to. Via SEC filings.
Congress trades
No disclosed congressional trades in ASH.
Self-reported filings, amounts as brackets. Via Senate/House disclosures.
