The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz Announces the Filing of a Securities Class Action on Behalf of AXT, Inc. (AXTI) Investors

The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired AXT, Inc. (“AXT” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: AXTI) securities between March 24, 2021 and April 3, 2024,, inclusive (the “Class Period”). AXT investors have until July 5, 2024 to file a lead plaintiff motion.

On April 4, 2024, J Capital Research published a report alleging, among other things, that, while AXT announced that it would be listing its primary subsidiary in Shanghai, the Company’s IPO was blocked by Chinese regulators in March 2023, potentially due to “falsifying data, tax evasion, improper storage of hazardous chemicals, suspicious related-party transactions, IP litigation, and defaulting on wages to employees.”

On this news, AXT’s stock price fell $1.73, or 34.9%, to close at $3.22 per share on April 4, 2024, thereby injuring investors.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) AXT, Inc. overstated its property holdings; (2) the Company did not disclose that the attempted listing of an AXT, Inc. subsidiary in China had reportedly failed; (3) AXT, Inc. routinely engaged in environmental violations and unsafe business practices; (4) AXT, Inc.’s production declined in 2023; and (5) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
