On June 23, AXT Inc declined 5.06% overnight, trading at $87.75/share, with turnover of $4.8645 million.

On the news front, the stock had surged significantly in recent sessions driven by intensified indium export scrutiny and indium phosphide supply chain shortage expectations, rising 9.1% on June 22 and as much as 11.23% intraday on June 23, resulting in substantial short-term profit-taking pressure. Concurrently, the semiconductor equipment sector weakened broadly, with Applied Materials down 2.3%, Lam Research down 2.73%, and KLA-Tencor down 2.45%, dragging on individual stock performance.

Additionally, CEO Morris S Young recently sold approximately 197,500 shares, while directors Jesse Chen and David C Chang have also been continuously reducing their holdings. This concentrated executive selling continues to suppress rebound momentum and weigh on market sentiment.
