Movement Alert｜AXT Inc Falls 8.9% in Regular Trading, Profit-Taking Meets Semiconductor Sector Selloff and Executive Share Disposals

Market Focus06-23

On June 23, AXT Inc fell 8.9% in regular trading, trading at $85.07/share, with turnover of $163 million.

On the news front, the stock had surged 9.1% on June 22 and rose as much as 11.23% intraday on June 23, driven by intensified Chinese indium export scrutiny and indium phosphide supply chain shortage expectations. Short-term profit-taking pressure became pronounced following the rapid run-up. Simultaneously, the semiconductor equipment sector experienced a broad selloff, with Teradyne down 10.37%, Lam Research down 10.0%, Applied Materials down 9.55%, KLA-Tencor down 8.97%, and ASML down 6.92%, dragging individual stocks lower on a systemic basis.

Additionally, CEO Morris S Young recently sold approximately 197,500 shares, while directors Jesse Chen and David C Chang also continued reducing their holdings. The concentrated insider selling has weighed on market sentiment and constrained rebound potential.
