On June 8, AXT Inc rose 5.08% overnight, trading at $93.9/share, with trading volume of $1.4513 million.

The rebound comes after the stock experienced a prolonged selloff from its all-time high. AXT surged over 16% on May 22 following a Q1 earnings beat — revenue grew 38.7% year-over-year with losses significantly narrowing — driven by robust AI optical communication demand. However, the stock subsequently faced sustained profit-taking pressure compounded by intensive insider selling: CEO Morris S Young sold approximately 197,498 shares worth over $22 million on June 1-2, while Director Jesse Chen filed plans to sell approximately 109,526 shares valued at around $11.59 million. The cumulative pullback from highs exceeded 20%, creating oversold technical conditions that supported today's bounce.

Additionally, the semiconductor equipment sector rallied broadly, with Teradyne up 3.44%, ASML up 3.11%, Lam Research up 2.55%, and KLA up 2.23%, providing a favorable sector backdrop for the stock's recovery.
