The latest update is out from AXT ( (AXTI) ).

On June 25, 2026, AXT-Tongmei entered into a three-year Master Development and Supply Agreement with Coherent Corp. to develop and mass supply 6-inch indium phosphide wafer substrates. Under the deal, AXT will expand manufacturing capacity at its Beijing facility from 2026 through 2028 and dedicate an agreed production volume to Coherent.

Coherent will make a prepayment of about $22.3 million, which will be applied against future wafer purchases and can be refunded if not fully used when the agreement ends, subject to minimum order and capacity conditions. The structure secures a committed customer and funding for AXT’s capacity expansion while giving Coherent priority access to additional capacity on the same terms, reinforcing both companies’ positions in the InP supply chain.

The most recent analyst rating on (AXTI) stock is a Buy
with a $125.00 price target.

Spark’s Take on AXTI Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, AXTI is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by weak financial performance (continued losses and cash burn) and soft technical momentum (below key moving averages with negative MACD). Offsetting these, the latest earnings call signaled a near-term pivot toward profitability with strong indium phosphide demand/backlog, and corporate events add incremental support via long-term supply visibility and governance improvements.
