On July 13, AXT Inc fell 8.44% in regular trading, trading at approximately $51.57/share, with turnover of $66.67 million.

On the news front, the semiconductor equipment sector experienced broad-based selling pressure. Among sector peers, Lam Research fell 5.64%, Applied Materials fell 4.71%, Teradyne fell 4.4%, KLA-Tencor fell 4.35%, and ASML fell 2.96%, reflecting systematic sector weakness that dragged the stock lower.

Additionally, AXT had accumulated significant short-term gains driven by optical communication demand catalysts and its subsidiary Tongmei formally withdrawing its STAR Market IPO application on July 8. However, with Tongmei's specific plan to pursue a Hong Kong listing still unclear, profit-taking from earlier gains intensified the decline. The stock had previously surged on news of a master development and supply agreement with Coherent and strong InP wafer pricing dynamics tied to AI data center buildouts.
