Ainos' Landmark ASE Contract Drives 39.91% Spike and $490M Volume to 229th Market Rank

Ainos surged 39.91% on 8 August, with a trading volume of $490 million, ranking 229th in the market. The jump followed a landmark $2.1 million three-year contract with semiconductor giant ASE, marking the first revenue-generating deployment of its AI Nose platform in industrial manufacturing. The deal involves deploying 1,400 AI Nose units across three ASE sites in Taiwan, leveraging SmellTech-as-a-Service to enhance smart factory operations.

The agreement validates Ainos' strategic focus on high-value industrial applications, following its earlier success in the senior care sector. CEO Eddy Tsai emphasized the platform’s potential to improve process stability and safety through olfactory data analysis, while expanding pilot deployments in Japan with robotics partner ugo, Inc. The transaction aligns with the company’s 90-day execution plan to convert partnerships into recurring revenue streams and accelerate AI model training.

Ainos highlighted its proprietary smell language model (SLM) as a key differentiator, positioning AI Nose as a trainable platform capable of digitizing scent into actionable insights. The deal reinforces its leadership in the $29.8 billion global e-nose market, which is projected to grow to $76.5 billion by 2032. Industrial monitoring remains a core growth driver, with Ainos aiming to expand its footprint in Asia’s advanced manufacturing ecosystems.

The strategy of purchasing the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding for one day generated a 166.71% return from 2022 to the present, outperforming the benchmark by 137.53%. This underscores liquidity concentration’s role in short-term performance, particularly in volatile markets, where high-volume stocks often exhibit stronger price momentum due to increased trading activity and investor demand.
