About CapEx at AXT (AXTI)
According to AXT's latest reported financial statements, the company's current CapEx (TTM) is $6.86M. Capital expenditures (CapEx) are cash outlays for property, plant, and equipment and other long-lived productive assets — reported on the cash flow statement under investing activities. CapEx funds future capacity (factories, data centers, software, machinery), so rising spend can signal investment in growth, while heavy CapEx reduces free cash flow available to shareholders. We display CapEx as a positive amount (the absolute cash outflow); compare with revenue to gauge capital intensity and with total assets for the asset-base context.
