The future of 3D Printing is supported by its edge over traditional manufacturing and rising adoption. GE, CRS and PRLB will likely ride on this trend.
Stratasys' stock surged over 20% after the company released preliminary fourth-quarter results, even though results were fairly mixed. Streamlining and cost-reduction efforts are beginning to pay off, leading to a significant improvement in cash flows. Sales remain weak, though, with consumable revenue down sequentially in Q4. While there are reasons to believe the demand environment could improve in 2025, I expect sales to remain soft.
Stratasys remains the 3D printing industry leader, head to head-with 3D Systems. While the management doesn't expect a clear rebound of its end markets in FY25, the cost-cutting program is bearing fruit and should unleash cash flows. The industry is consolidating: smaller players are close to defaulting, while SSYS's financial position is still solid. Market share gains could come in the near term.
