On July 2, AXT Inc declined 8.67% in regular trading, trading at $59.09/share, with turnover of $147 million. The stock continued to weaken as the semiconductor equipment sector experienced a second consecutive day of heavy selling, compounded by persistent insider selling pressure.

The broader semiconductor equipment sector saw widespread declines, with Applied Materials down 7.24%, Lam Research down 7.48%, KLA-Tencent down 8.45%, and Teradyne down 8.90%. AXT Inc tracked the sector lower after a prior rally driven by indium phosphide supply chain shortage narratives. CEO Morris S Young has cumulatively sold approximately 197,500 shares, while directors Jesse Chen and David C Chang have also been reducing their positions. The intensive executive selling has capped rebound potential, creating a dual headwind alongside sector-wide systematic selling pressure.
