Zombie companies on the ASX are dying out: Research
Financial Standard
|November 17, 2025
New research has revealed a decline in the number of zombie companies on the ASX in the last six months.
KPMG Australia's latest data showed a drop of 41% in companies considered zombie, where they exhibit indicators of financial distress for an extended period but are not yet insolvent and continue to trade.
The number of zombies on the ASX has been on a downward trend, falling from a peak of 180 last year to 90 in September this year. The average size of these companies also fell, with market capitalisation dropping from $1.1 billion to $525 million.
While Australia has seen a drop in the number of such companies, globally the number of zombies increased by 8.1% to 1435.
