On July 1, AXT Inc declined 8.03% in regular trading, trading around $67.105/share, with turnover of approximately $72.30 million.

On the news front, the semiconductor equipment sector experienced a broad selloff, with Applied Materials down 5.93%, Lam Research down 6.56%, KLA-Tencor down 6.40%, and Teradyne down 6.68%. AXT Inc followed the sector weakness while facing additional stock-specific headwinds.

The stock had previously rallied sharply on indium phosphide supply chain tightness, and has since faced sustained profit-taking pressure. Adding to the downside, CEO Morris S Young has cumulatively sold approximately 197,498 shares, while directors Jesse Chen and David C Chang have also engaged in continuous selling. The combination of sector-wide systematic decline and concentrated insider disposals created a resonance effect, compressing any near-term rebound potential.
