Bull of the Day: AXT (AXTI)
AXT, a semiconductor substrate manufacturer, is positioned as a critical supplier for AI data-center optical interconnects, particularly in indium phosphide (InP) substrates. The company reported record Q2 2026 revenue of $47.6M (up 165% YoY) with 44.9% gross margins and a 170% EPS beat. With a >$100M backlog, planned capacity expansions to $35M quarterly by end-2026 and $65-70M by 2027/early 2028, and progression toward 6-inch wafers, AXT is transitioning from a cyclical substrate maker into a critical AI infrastructure supplier. However, risks include potential slowdown in AI optical spending, China export controls, and margin sustainability.
