Movement Alert|AXT Inc Overnight Rise 19.41%, Driven by InP Supply Chain Shortage and Oversold Rebound Momentum

Market Focus
Jun 17

On June 17, AXT Inc rose 19.41% overnight, trading at $95.01/share, with turnover of $8,345.09.

On the news front, the rally represents a continuation of oversold rebound momentum. The stock had surged over 16% on May 22 following a Q1 earnings beat and strong AI optical communication demand, then experienced sustained profit-taking. After cumulative gains exceeding 25% on June 12 and 15, the stock pulled back 6% on June 16 before rebounding again overnight.

Simultaneously, China's tightening export controls on indium phosphide (InP) and upstream high-purity indium continue to constrain global InP capacity. The rejection rate for export applications from US and Japanese companies has exceeded 80%, creating a structural supply shortage. As the leading US-listed InP substrate manufacturer, AXT Inc benefits from supply chain scarcity premiums. However, CEO Morris S. Young recently sold approximately 197,500 shares and director Jesse Chen has also been reducing holdings, which may cap upside potential.
