Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a nationally acclaimed investor rights law firm, reminds investors of the deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in a securities class action lawsuit that has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased or acquired the securities of AXT, Inc. (“AXTI” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: AXTI) between March 24, 2021 and April 3, 2024, inclusive (the “Class Period”). The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York and alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against the Company and certain of its officers (the “Complaint”).

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 5, 2024. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn’t require that you serve as lead plaintiff. If you choose to take no action, you may remain an absent class member.
According to the Complaint, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that AXTI: (1) overstated its property holdings; (2) did not disclose that the attempted listing of an AXTI subsidiary in China had reportedly failed; (3) routinely engaged in environmental violations and unsafe business practices; and (4) declined in production in 2023.
On April 4, 2024, J Capital Research released a report about AXTI (the “Report”). The Report stated that in order to capture new financing, AXTI had tried to conduct an Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) for one of its subsidiaries in China. The Report stated that the “IPO has apparently been blocked by Chinese regulators.” J Capital Research also disclosed that it had “uncovered a deluge of reasons why Chinese regulators potentially blocked this IPO, including falsifying data, tax evasion, improper storage of hazardous chemicals, suspicious related-party transactions, IP litigation, and defaulting on wages to employees.”
On this news, AXTI's stock price fell $1.73 per share, or 34.9%, to close at $3.22 per share on April 4, 2024.
