| 2026-09-16T18:41:39 | @StephanTeo39458 I think $IQE, VPEC and your recent epiwafer foundry type company commentary was very strategically bullish on $AXTI. This Foxconn note wasn’t clear on InP substrates. The main thing going forward is if AXT is able to pull off $SNDK style price hikes given their market share → · 69 likes · 32,022 views |
