AXT Inc. reports Q3 EPS (3c), consensus (12c)

Reports Q3 revenue $28.0M, consensus $20.3M. “This has been a highly active time for our business with the strong uptick in indium phosphide demand from data center applications globally,” said Morris Young, chief executive officer. “In Q3, our indium phosphide revenues grew more than 250 percent sequentially and reached a three-year high as we obtained export permits for a number of significant indium phosphide orders throughout the quarter. In addition, we continue to build healthy backlog for both indium phosphide and gallium arsenide materials as our industry and our customers adapt to a new normal within a rapidly changing environment. We remain highly focused on our efforts to drive gross margin recovery and expansion, operating expense discipline, and inventory reduction. With strong, ongoing market trends fueling the data center upgrade cycle, we believe we have tremendous opportunity in 2026 to drive meaningful growth in our business and a return to profitability.”
