On April 4, 2024, J Capital Research ("J Capital") published a report addressing AXT, alleging, among other things, that the U.S.-listed Company conducts almost all of its business operations through a subsidiary in China and "wants to list that subsidiary in Shanghai to capture new financing", but "the listing prospectus attracted unexpected scrutiny and unveiled a plethora of undisclosed issues in China."  In particular, J Capital alleged 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, AXT's stock price fell $1.73 per share, or 34.95%, to close at $3.22 per share on April 4, 2024.
