AXT Posts Record Q3 Revenue and Earnings Beat

AXT reported record third-quarter 2026 revenue of $73.41M, up 162.2% year over year, and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.41. GAAP net income attributable to AXT was $25.7M, or $0.39 per diluted share, compared with a loss in the year-earlier quarter. Indium phosphide demand drove the performance, while shares fell 3.8% after hours.

The results show a sharp improvement in profitability alongside higher indium phosphide demand and expanded capacity. The initial after-hours share move was negative despite the reported earnings and revenue beats, indicating the market reaction was unfavorable at that time.
