3D Syetems Key Financial Statistics

Why Investors Shouldn't Discount 3D Systems' Acquisitions

Summary

3D Systems has been criticized for lack of earnings growth, but the company is doing the right thing by investing in acquisitions.

3D Systems' acquisitions in the field of medical and healthcare applications, which are growing fast, will lead to better performances in the long run.

3D Systems is also focusing on increasing printing speed and improving its capability.

Is Now The Time To Buy 3D Systems?

Summary

Stock weakness combined with the passage of time makes 3D Systems more attractive.

The scary chart of the past is now more reasonable for long-term investors.

Investors need to confirm that Q2 earnings were indeed the trough with a large rebound in store for 2015 before the stock becomes an ultimate bargain.

i reckon that at $44.12 they were a good bet so have a modest number and shall probably just sit on them
may also put a few in my sipp

3D Systems: The HP Threat Resurfaces

Summary

The new HP Inc. plans to become a major 3-D printing player.

Rising competition suggests that 3D Systems’ ASP and margins will keep going down.

Consensus expectation of a strong operating margin recovery in 2015 (23% vs. 18% in 2014) is not realistic.

The Takeover Thesis Could Resurface Following The HP Spin-Off Announcement

Summary

The new HP outlined plans to expand into 3-D printing and will soon have much more flexibility to make acquisitions.

We believe that HP is more likely to focus on the acquisition of small 3-D players.

And stick to our view that M&A is not a likely exit opportunity for 3D Systems shareholders.

3D Systems: Short Interest Surprisingly Declines

Summary

Short interest was down 6% in late September.

Since then, HP has announced its plan to become a major 3-D printing player.

And a tricky Q3 report is just ahead.

Short interest is likely to rise again. We reiterate our negative stance and $26 target price.

Finally A Positive! 3D Systems Makes A Bold Move In Design Software

Summary

3D Systems acquires design software vendor Cimatron.

The transaction makes strategic sense and is financially attractive.

But it’s clearly too early to call the Cimatron acquisition a success as Autodesk is a major threat.

Saw this and thought it should be added, yet another use for 3D printing!

i'm still holding mine ..... may put into sipp instead

Ooopps wrong thread.

WILL THERE BE A 3D PRINTER IN EVERY HOME?

Eventually yes I think there will be, when the price becomes low enough... For now though compounds such as polymorph will suffice.

RealSense-Enabled Tablets And Laptops Are Long-Term Tailwinds For 3D Systems

Have you seen these, you can buy them on amazon and from maplins too. A big contender I think.

Blimey.

There are others too if you do a google search... I've always wondered how easy it'd be to use a 3D printer for simple applications and if you'd need a computer degree to produce anything. These pens and 3D sketching looks simple, loads of vids on YouTube, someone has even done a quadcopter!! At the price too I think these will quickly catch on..

Update: 3D Systems To Acquire Cimatron

Summary

The shareholders approved the transaction, so we have to wait for the regulatory approvals.
As we explained, the best option is to exit now. The merger has to be accepted by the Israeli authorities, and it will take a lot of time.
The strategy already returned 2% to investors. In this article, we explain how.

3D Systems: The Baby That Should Not Go Out With The Bath Water

Summary

Earnings and cash flow far outruns SSYS.

Big players do not automatically win in a new market.

Law of large numbers and production and design efficiencies will improve earnings and margins.

3D Systems: Bankruptcy And Goodwill Impairments Aren't The Real Threats

Summary

3D Systems faces many threats in the 3D printer market, but goodwill charges and bankruptcy aren't part of that discussion.

A large goodwill writedown could occur with the Q4 report.

Valuation metrics are turning more positive after starting 2014 at outrageous levels.
