Market Focus
Jul 31

On July 31, AXT Inc rose 23.14% overnight, trading at $58.0/share, with turnover of $64,900.

The surge was driven by the company's Q2 earnings report released after market close on July 30, which significantly exceeded analyst expectations across all key metrics. AXT Inc reported adjusted EPS of $0.19, beating the consensus estimate of $0.07 by 171%. Revenue came in at $47.6 million versus the $34.1 million estimate, representing a 165% year-over-year increase from $18.0 million. Adjusted gross margin surged to 45.0% from 8.2% a year ago and 29.9% in Q1. The company swung to an adjusted net income of $11.9 million compared to a net loss of $6.4 million in the prior-year quarter.

The stock had previously declined over 20% due to B. Riley slashing its price target from $73 to $52 and broader optical communications sector weakness. The blowout earnings catalyzed a strong rebound fueled by both the upside surprise and oversold recovery momentum. The FactSet consensus price target stands at $96.50.
