AXT’s Q2 revenue constrained by slower-than-expected China export permitting

What happened

AXT Inc reported Q2 2025 revenue of $18M, down 7.2% sequentially and 35.5% year-over-year, missing its initial guidance. The shortfall was primarily due to slower-than-expected export permitting in China, constraining substrate shipments. Bearish: The ongoing permitting delays directly limit supply availability for GaAs/InP/Ge substrates, potentially tightening spot market inventory and pressuring downstream component production.
