Why 3D Systems Isn't Worth The Risk

Summary

Investors in 3D Systems are taking on a huge amount of risk.

We expect Hewlett-Packard and other large entities with substantial financial resources to eventually start a value-destructive pricing war in the 3D printing industry.

3D Systems registers a 5 on the Valuentum Buying Index. We prefer ideas in the Best Ideas portfolio.

3D Systems: Short-Term Pain, Long-Term Gain

Summary

3D Systems remains strong for the long-term. Yet, it still has downside and will continue to be swept up in the decline of 3D Printing stocks in the short-term.

3D System's aggressive spending strategy in terms of sales and marketing and R&D is a key determinant of its recent decline in profitability and gross margins.

Declining gross profit margins for 3D Systems can also be attributed to the fact that its top-performing printer revenue segment is also the least profitable.

3D Systems has a significant vulnerability when it comes to the firm's operating cash flow.

banked my modest profit this morning, but for sure i'll look to buy back when the next market consolidation (in progress now perhaps) has petered out

3D Systems' Projected Growth Aided By Healthcare And Consumer

Summary

3D Systems meets expectations, but has a low margin of safety.

Consumer adoption is an emerging trend, and it's starting to accelerate.

3D Systems' acquisition of Medical Modeling is strategic, and puts it in a solid position to compete in healthcare.

cynic - 22 May 2014 11:17 - 98 of 193

i see i bought back in on 19/5 @ $48.75

Is 3D Systems Ready To Rally?

Summary

3D Systems has finally broken its downtrend, and may be ready to rally.

The worst might be over and the revenue and profitability expectations might improve soon.

Reward-risk ratio is on the bull side right now.

skinny - 27 May 2014 16:21 - 100 of 193

Back above $55 for now.

Looks like it will be short lived!

What Does The New Equity Offering Mean For 3D Systems Shareholders?

Summary

Equity offering should dilute the current shareholders equity by about 6%.

The negative impact of the offering on the stock price should be short-term.

The decision to raise cash indicates the company might have lined up another acquisition.

3D Systems: Bullish Or Bearish Stance On The Group's Equity Offering?

Summary

The timing of 3D Systems’ equity issue is quite weird: the bulls will say that the company is likely to announce major acquisitions soon.

The bears will argue that 3D Systems cannot pay acquisitions in stocks anymore and is taking the opportunity of a stock price rebound to raise capital before cutting its guidance.

Deals in the services business (like the Robtec one) are likely to be welcome, as margins in services will be much more resilient than in hardware in our view.
But many analysts and investors are already focused on the integration risks related to 3D Systems’ M&A frenzy. This equity issuance will only add to their fears.

3 Great Reasons To Buy 3D Systems On The Drop

Summary

3D Systems' revenue has gained good momentum, and the company is making investments to keep this going.

3D Systems' latest acquisitions should continue driving growth and assist its organic growth.

Since Hewlett-Packard won't be targeting the consumer 3D printing market, 3D Systems will face less competition.

Long-Term 3D Systems Investors Should Not Be Fazed By Secondary Offering

Summary

With giant corporations like Apple and Google eyeing the 3D printing sector, now appears to be a better time than ever to lock up available competitive resources.

Having already made 45 acquisitions for a total of $520 million, 3D Systems has ample experience in making strategic acquisitions.

Given that the secondary offering is expected to bring the company's net cash above $600 million, investors have another reason to believe that a major acquisition is on the horizon.

3D Systems' recent 11% drop in share price on Wednesday, May 28, was caused by a combination of the secondary offering announcement, negative commentary, and short interest.

I believe that the recent drop in price is merely a hiccup and see $50/share as a desirable entry point.

skinny - did you ever buy any of these? ..... i currently have a modest number that i bought at $48.75 and i reckon i'll just sit on them for a bit

skinny - 02 Jun 2014 13:42 - 108 of 193

Yes as posted above, I bought in July last year, sold half when they doubled and bought some more in the the 70s - I'm currently down 5% on what I hold, but they are essentialy free.

3D Systems: A Major Short Squeeze Coming?

Summary

3D Systems is a highly shorted stock.

Last year's equity sale basically set a bottom.

Analyst/Investor meeting next week.

More acquisitions are expected.

High potential reward, but not without risk.

cynic - 03 Jun 2014 16:47 - 110 of 193

banked a paltry profit, which is better than a paltry loss, purely because a general correction must surely be overdue

3D Systems: Strong Buy On Strong Direct Metal Printing Demand

Summary

3D Systems will continue to thrive despite the emergence of cheaper additive manufacturing printers. Its long list of clients will help keep 3D Systems maintain its double-digit top line growth.

Industrial direct metal printing demand is a strong tailwind for 3D Systems. Catering to corporate clients is a high-margin business, consumer 3-D printing is not.

Twenty analysts rate DDD a Buy. Wal-Mart is looking for a 3-D printing company to buy.
