On June 16, AXT Inc declined 6.08% in regular trading, trading at $104.2 USD/share, with turnover of $207 million.

On the news front, the stock had surged over 25% cumulatively on June 12 and June 15, triggering significant profit-taking pressure from short-term holders. Concurrently, CEO Morris S Young recently sold approximately 197,500 shares, while Director Jesse Chen filed a reduction plan to sell approximately 109,500 shares. The concentrated insider selling has weighed on sentiment and constrained upside recovery. Market participants also remain divided on the company's fundamental outlook despite its position as a leading U.S.-listed indium phosphide substrate supplier benefiting from China's export controls on InP materials.

Within the Semiconductor Equipment sector, performance was mixed. Among individual stocks, Applied Materials up 1.85%, ASML Holding down 1.8%, Lam Research up 0.6%, KLA-Tencor down 1.1%, Amkor Technology up 11.15%.
