AXT’s Q3 revenue far exceeds guidance, after China export licenses granted for InP
What happened
AXT Inc reported Q3 2025 revenue of $28M, significantly exceeding its $19-21M guidance and rebounding 56% sequentially, driven by the receipt of export licenses for its indium phosphide (InP) substrates from China. The company manufactures its compound semiconductor substrates and raw materials in China, and the license approval resolved a key supply constraint. Bullish: This signals a removal of a major supply bottleneck for critical InP substrates used in photonics and 5G, likely easing availability pressures and supporting demand from downstream manufacturers.
