Brian Drab has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors related to 3D Systems’ recent financial performance and market conditions. The company’s revenue and adjusted EBITDA fell short of consensus expectations, although adjusted EPS slightly exceeded estimates. Despite these mixed results, 3D Systems is making progress on its cost-saving initiatives, which include consolidating its operational footprint and restructuring its workforce, aiming for over $50 million in annualized savings by year-end.
However, the broader market for additive manufacturing remains weak, with customers hesitant to make capital investments due to an uncertain tariff environment. On a positive note, the aerospace and defense sectors are performing well, contributing positively to the company’s sales. Management’s guidance for the fourth quarter suggests a modest sequential revenue increase, with gross margins and operating expenses expected to remain stable. These factors collectively support the Hold rating, as they indicate potential for improvement but also highlight ongoing challenges.
In another report released today, Craig-Hallum also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $2.50 price target.
