3D Systems Corporation (DDD), Stratasys, Ltd. (SSYS): Investing in Major Growth (Insider Monkey)
You may already know it, but 3D printing is kind of a big deal. The industry has been growing almost 9% a year since 2002. But that is a little misleading, because the growth is still gaining momentum. 2012 was a huge year. This year, estimates call for around 20% industry growth. Trying to take advantage of this growth is 3D Systems Corporation (NYSE:DDD) and competitor Stratasys, Ltd. (NASDAQ:SSYS). Not all companies are created equal. Just because a company is doing business in a growing sector does not ensure that they will be a winner. Stratasys has been facing some headwinds – things like a falling operating margin. The stock is facing some negative feelings from hedge funds, and has even been downgraded by TheStreet, Inc. (NASDAQ:TST). However, to be clear, while there is some negative sentiment, the general sentiment was positive in regards to the the most recent earnings report. Net income was up 40%. When the company released the quarterly report, shares went soaring.
