AXT October 29 Major Price Drop Interpretation

Keywords: Financing valuation unchanged, pre-earnings pullback, export license

1. On October 27, AXT signed a private equity financing agreement with its subsidiary Tongmei. Investors plan to invest a minimum of 1.912 billion yuan and up to 3.669 billion yuan in Tongmei; before market open on October 29, AXT fell by 7.4%. Institutions note that this private placement values Tongmei at approximately $4.5 billion, with AXT’s equity stake worth about $3.8 billion, roughly in line with its current market capitalization.

2. After market close on October 29, AXT will release its Q3 financial report, with market forecasts calling for revenue of around $66.11 million and non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.31. Institutions expect the likelihood of a significant beat to be low. Some investors have taken profits ahead of the report, with AXT rising a cumulative 15.13% over the past five days and 263.06% year-to-date.

3. On July 30, during the Q2 earnings call, AXT indicated that approval times for export licenses cannot be predicted for specific customers or orders, potentially delaying quarterly revenue recognition. This risk has drawn renewed attention ahead of the October 29 earnings release.
