**Taipei, Taiwan** – ASE Technology (NYSE: ASX), a leading semiconductor packaging and testing company, has seen conflicting opinions from analysts this week. On Friday, StockNews.com downgraded the company from a “buy” rating to a “hold,” while on Monday, Morgan Stanley upgraded ASE Technology from “equal weight” to “overweight.”
