Asetek

Liquid-cooling OEM for data-center and high-density AI racks, spanning rack-level and facility thermal loops used in HPC and AI campuses. CQXA Holdings, a subsidiary of Suzhou Chunqiu Electronic Technology, completed a takeover offer for about 95.3% of Asetek's shares in April 2026. Nasdaq Copenhagen approved the delisting, and May 21, 2026 was the last trading day of Asetek's shares.

6.8/10
Overall Score
Conditional recommend

Asetek has real product fit for dense racks, and CQXA Holdings took about 95.3% of its shares in an April 2026 takeover offer. OEM channel dynamics and project integration mean our recommendation is conditional.

Best for

Operators and OEMs specifying liquid cooling for high-density AI or HPC racks who value a publicly reported thermal supplier.

Not ideal for

Buyers who only need facility-level immersion tanks, or teams shopping for GPU cloud capacity, which Asetek does not sell.

Verdict

Asetek is a good fit when your AI or HPC design needs liquid cooling from an OEM that delisted from Nasdaq Copenhagen in May 2026 and published FY2025 financials. FY2025 revenue was about $41.5M, which helps size the vendor, but deployments still ride through OEM and integrator channels. Practitioners like thermal performance on dense racks; schedule risk and channel packaging are the usual caveats versus immersion specialists.
