3D Printing Stocks to Watch Monday: Stratasys Reports Earnings

Stratasys Earnings Preview 3D Printing

Among the stocks to watch this week is Stratasys Ltd. (NASDAQ:SSYS) which will report earnings on Monday.

MarketWatch‘s preview:

Stratasys is projected to report fourth-quarter earnings of 38 cents a share. David Miller, an analyst at Gabelli & Co., recently initiated coverage of Stratasys, rating it a hold even though he gave it high marks for its focus on expansion of professional 3D printing, healthcare applications, and strong operating leverage potential.

Seeking Alpha‘s preview:

With the huge sector selloff since mid-January, the market has become increasingly concerned about the stock. Negative analysis continues to surface regarding competitor 3D Systems (DDD) providing Stratasys with the opportunity to become the recognized leader in the sector. In addition, the recent IPO of ExOne (XONE) provides more competition for 3D industrial sales and investor cash.
