On May 26, AXT Inc fell 5.02% in regular trading, trading at $135.84/share, with trading volume of approximately $305 million, extending a pattern of sharp pullbacks following new highs.

On the news front, the stock surged over 16% on May 22, breaking above its previous all-time high of $134 set on May 13, driven by strong Q1 earnings (revenue up 38.7% year-over-year with losses significantly narrowed) and robust AI optical communication demand. Following the consecutive sharp gains, short-term accumulated profit-taking pressure has resurfaced, triggering another high-level pullback.

Notably, the broader Semiconductor Equipment sector performed strongly today, with Applied Materials up 3.12%, Lam Research up 3.05%, KLA-Tencor up 3.17%, and Teradyne up 6.77%. AXT Inc's decline against the sector trend further underscores that individual-stock-level profit-taking pressure remains pronounced after its recent parabolic advance.
