Movement Alert|AXT Inc Rises 8.01% in Regular Trading, Market Corrects CPO Panic Selloff as Indium Phosphide Deemed Irreplaceable

Market Focus08-25 21:38

On August 25, AXT Inc rose 8.01% in regular trading, trading at $70.12/share, with turnover of $90.91 million.

On the news front, the stock rebounded sharply after the previous session's 8.21% decline triggered by NVIDIA's announcement that CPO technology had entered mass production, combined with SK Hynix publishing a CPO roadmap paper. The prior selloff was characterized as indiscriminate, hitting the entire optical communications sector regardless of fundamentals.

The market quickly recognized that indium phosphide substrates remain irreplaceable as the core light-source material within CPO architecture, categorizing the previous drop as an emotional mispricing. Analyst reports have noted that downstream customers Lumentum and Coherent have both signed long-term supply agreements with AXT Inc, with the current supply-demand gap exceeding 30%. The company plans to triple capacity by year-end, with demand already locked in through forward contracts. AXT Inc reported record Q2 indium phosphide revenue in late July, with adjusted EPS of $0.19 far exceeding the $0.07 consensus estimate.
