AXT shares are climbing as traders pile into bullish options bets ahead of a key catalyst. A surge in call buying, unusually high trading volumes, and rising implied volatility all point to aggressive positioning for more upside in the stock.
Options action is centered on near-term expirations, with activity in Apr. 26 contracts and May calls such as the May 26 $60 strike. The skewed put/call ratio supports the positive sentiment as investors focus on the upcoming earnings report due April 30.
