On June 5, AXT Inc rose 5.62% in regular trading, trading at approximately $112.48/share, with trading volume of $346 million.

The rally represents a technical rebound following a significant pullback from historical highs. The stock had surged over 16% on May 22 after reporting Q1 earnings that exceeded expectations, with revenue growing 38.7% year-over-year and losses narrowing substantially, driven by strong AI optical communications demand. However, the stock subsequently faced sustained profit-taking pressure compounded by intensive insider selling — CEO Morris S Young sold 197,498 shares on June 1-2, and Director Jesse Chen filed to reduce holdings of approximately 109,526 shares worth around $11.59 million — resulting in a notable cumulative decline from its peak.

Additionally, the semiconductor equipment sector traded higher, with ASML Holding up 1.82% and Applied Materials up 0.75%, providing a supportive backdrop for the oversold rebound.
