The supply agreement with Coherent Corp provides a strong demand signal for AXT's InP substrates and a $22.3M prepayment that improves near-term liquidity. Traders should monitor AXT's capacity expansion progress at the Beijing facility and any subsequent order updates from Coherent. The 3-year term suggests recurring revenue visibility, but execution risk on capacity ramp remains.
