AXT (AXTI) Q2 Revenue Drops 36%
(NASDAQ:AXTI), a specialty materials producer known for high-performance semiconductor substrates, reported second-quarter 2025 earnings on July 31, 2025. The headline news from the release was a sharper-than-expected revenue decline, as GAAP revenue was $18.0 million, missing the analysts' estimate of $19.78 million by $1.78 million, or 9.0%, with non-GAAP earnings falling short of market estimates amid ongoing pressure from regulatory delays and a slow demand environment in China. GAAP revenue was $18.0 million, missing the $19.8 million GAAP analyst estimate, while non-GAAP loss per share was ($0.15), instead of the expected ($0.13) (non-GAAP). The quarter's overall performance showed persistent challenges, with some improvement in gross margin from the prior period but continued losses and steep year-over-year declines (GAAP gross margin 8.0%, up from (6.4)% in Q1 2025 and down from 27.4% in Q2 2024; non-GAAP gross margin 8.2%, up from (6.1)% in Q1 2025 and down from 27.6% in Q2 2024).
