Morris S Young

CEO Morris S Young sold 197,498 shares for $22,312,925.65 across 2 trades (2026-06-01/02) at $112.39–$113.33; retains 2,149,533 shares plus 945,898 derivative holdings.

Morris S Young, CEO of AXT INC (AXTI), executed 2 separate sales totaling 197,498 shares for $22,312,925.65 on June 1–2, 2026, at prices of $112.39 and $113.33—significantly above the current price of $106.70 and well above the 52-week low of $1.45. His non-derivative holdings decreased from 2,347,031 shares to 2,149,533 shares, a reduction of 8.4%. The transaction occurred while the company faces fundamental headwinds: it reported negative net income of $-1,620,000.00 in its latest quarter, annual revenue declined 11.1% year-over-year, and it was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year. His prior 5 sales at AXTI (March 2026) each showed positive 90-day returns, with a 0.00% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark. The CEO retains 945,898 derivative shares (stock option holdings), indicating continued equity exposure beyond his non-derivative position.

AXTI CEO Morris S sells 37,905 shares at $51.13; stock now $48.39 after 30-day +99.6% rally.

CEO Young Morris S executed a sale of 37,905 shares at $51.13 on 2026-03-13, reducing holdings to 2,275,328 shares (-1.6%). The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $48.86 and follows an extraordinary 30-day rally of +99.6% and 90-day surge of +272.2%. This is the CEO's fourth sale in four trading days (prior sales on 2026-03-10, 2026-03-09, 2026-03-06, and 2026-03-02), suggesting systematic liquidation during an extended price appreciation. Company fundamentals show revenue of $27,955,000.00 and net income of $-1,906,000.00—unprofitable on a full-year basis despite 31.1% annual revenue growth. Across the insider's prior trades at this ticker, one measurable outcome (2025-11-03 sale) showed a 90-day return of +114.4%, meaning the stock rose substantially after that prior sale, so the insider did not time that sale favorably.

CEO Morris S sold 30,832 shares of AXTI at $45.60; stock up +91.9% in 30 days, +215.5% in 90 days; company unprofitable

YOUNG MORRIS S, as CEO, sold 30,832 shares at $45.60 on 2026-03-10, reducing his holdings from 2,344,065 to 2,313,233 shares (a 1.3% reduction). The stock has appreciated sharply, rising +91.9% over the prior 30 days and +215.5% over 90 days, currently trading at $46.73, only 1.3% below its 52-week high of $47.36. However, the company remains unprofitable with net income of $-1,906,000.00 on recent quarterly revenue of $27,955,000.00, despite strong annual revenue growth of +31.1%. Across his 5 prior trades at AXTI, Morris has executed 3 other sales in the past week (2026-03-09, 2026-03-06, and 2026-03-02), establishing a pattern of regular dispositions during this period of steep price appreciation. His cross-ticker track record shows prior sells were poorly timed, with an average 90-day return of +114.4% and a 0.00% well-timed rate, indicating historical sales have preceded further gains rather than declines. This sale occurs in a context of significant momentum and negative underlying profitability, warranting examination of whether repeated recent dispositions reflect interim portfolio management or shifts in conviction.

CEO Morris Young sold 134,193 shares ($4.9M) in 2 transactions over 4 days as AXTI stock surges +84.1% in 30 days

Morris Young, the CEO, executed two separate sales totaling 134,193 shares for $4,925,719.03 on 2026-03-06 and 2026-03-09, reducing his holdings by 5.4% at an average price of $36.71. The stock has appreciated sharply since these transactions—currently trading at $44.30, up 84.1% over 30 days and +185.6% over 90 days from $1.16–$46.32 range. Young's cross-ticker track record shows 3 prior sells with an average 90-day return of +114.4% but a 0.00% well-timed rate, indicating these prior sales occurred before the stock continued rising (poorly timed sells). His same-ticker history at AXTI shows 1 of 2 prior measurable sales was well-timed (2025-11-03 sale had +114.4% subsequent 90-day return). Against a backdrop of strong revenue growth (+31.1% annual) but current unprofitability ($-1.9M net income in latest quarter), the CEO's concentrated multi-day liquidation during a steep rally—against his prior pattern of sells that missed subsequent gains—warrants investor scrutiny of whether timing reflects external insight into near-term pressure or market-driven execution.

CEO YOUNG MORRIS S sold 159,536 shares of AXTI at $43.32 (Mar 2); stock up 263.8% in 90d but now -9.8% from 52wk high.

YOUNG MORRIS S, the CEO of AXT Inc, sold 159,536 shares (159.5K shares) for $6,911,466.45 ($6.9M) at $43.32 on 2026-03-02, reducing his holdings by 6.0% from 2,641,574 shares (2.64M shares) to 2,482,038 shares (2.48M). The timing presents a mixed signal: the stock appreciated substantially over the 90 days preceding the sale (+263.8%), yet the transaction occurred while the stock was -9.8% from its 52-week high of $46.32, and the 30-day change shows +125.2% velocity into the sale. His prior trade at AXTI—a November 2025 sell—was poorly timed, with the stock rising +114.4% in the subsequent 90 days. Against this backdrop, the company remains unprofitable (negative full-year net income despite +31.1% annual revenue growth), which contextualizes the sale despite the stock's recent momentum. The transaction warrants monitoring to assess whether this liquidation reflects confidence at peak valuations or a divergence from the CEO's confidence in near-term growth.

CEO Morris Young sold 80,000 shares of AXTI at $8.65 (Nov 3), retaining 2,439,490 shares; stock up 66.5% in 30 days.

CEO Morris Young sold 80,000 shares (3.2% of pre-transaction holdings) at $8.65 on 2025-11-03 for $691,848.00, at a time when the stock is trading near its 52-week high of $8.54 and has posted a 30-day return of +66.5%. His single prior AXTI purchase in February 2025 was followed by a 90-day return of +7.0%, representing a well-timed entry relative to subsequent price action. However, without a stated 10b5-1 plan flag, the timing of this sale—following a sharp recent rally—stands in contrast to his documented pattern of well-timed entries, though the sale remains relatively modest in absolute terms against his 2.44M-share post-sale position. The company, though growing revenue +31.1% annually, posted a quarterly net loss of $-7.0M on $18.0M revenue, suggesting profitability pressures that may warrant attention.

CEO Young Morris buys 30,000 shares at $1.36 as stock down -75.6% from 52-week high; company unprofitable with -46.3% revenue decline

YOUNG MORRIS S, Chairman and CEO, purchased 30,000 shares at $1.36 on 2025-02-25, bringing his holdings to 2,449,490 shares. The transaction occurs against a backdrop of severe deterioration: the stock trades at $1.32, -75.6% from its 52-week high of $5.40, and has declined -38.9% over 30 days and -35.3% over 90 days. AXT Inc reported a net loss of $-2.9M in its latest quarter with revenue of $23.6M, and full-year revenue contracted -46.3% year-over-year. The purchase represents a modest incremental addition of 30,000 shares (+1.2% of pre-transaction holdings) rather than a substantial position increase. This insider transaction occurs while the company is unprofitable and during a period of acute stock price weakness, but the modest scale and size relative to the CEO's existing 2.42M-share position warrants observation rather than immediate interpretation of material conviction.
