3D Systems Corporation, Stratasys, Ltd., and other 3D printing companies rally after 3D Systems unveiled its plans for 3D Printing 2.0 and Stratasys is praised by BB&T 3D Systems Corporation (DDD), the largest publicly traded 3D printing company in the world, made an announcement yesterday that it will present its latest 3D printing 2.0 capabilities at the Atlantic Design and Manufacturing Tradeshow, which will be held in New York in June. The 3D printer manufacturer will demonstrate its fab-grade multi materials 3D printer. It will also show attendees the results of its latest direct metal printer. The announcement caused the stock to rally 8.3% in regular trading. Furthermore, Insurance bank BB&T (BBT) praised the MakerBot line of consumer-oriented 3D printers, which are produced by Stratasys, Ltd. (SSYS). The news caused Stratasys’s share price to increase 7.2%. Both positive news releases helped other 3D printing stocks rally. ExOne Co (XONE), for example, soared 11.6%. 3D printing companies have had a bad start to 2014, with all of the publicly-traded 3D printer manufacturers trading near year-to-date lows. 3D Systems, Stratasys, ExOne, and Voxeljet AG (ADR) (VJET) are all down 40.8%, 29.8%, 52.6%, and 64.1%, respectively. 3D printing companies’ stock prices declined steeply since March, as momentum stocks were being sold by investors and many traders increased short positions in 3D
3D printing stocks are dealing in technology that is going to change the way we do things in the future. I think of this technology like radio, or the internet. It is disruption level technology. There was a lot of buzz early on and excitement, but so far the actual sale numbers haven't followed. Up take by consumers, as in retail not direct consumers, has been slow. I think that everyone is to impatient to watch this market mature properly. I would hold my stock in 3D even with such steep declines. The market is fickle and thirsty for quick profits. It's unable to wait for the maturity and ripened fruition of this market, which is still in it's early days.
3D printers is the new Coca-Cola in my opinion, they can be virtually applied to all areas of business(from food to medicine), so it's just normal that it's a great area of investment.
The great thing about 3D printing right now is that it's potential is almost limitless. It feels like the start of the internet to me right now. The possibilities are amazing.
yes the 3D printers are great and have great potential because who knows what they could come out with next that benefits the 3D printer. i woul dinvest in these if i were you. im hypothesizing that these printers will do great in the future.
3D stocks are vastly overvalued. 3D technology has been used by industrial manufacturers for two decades. The newer 3D consumer tech has been hyped up and the sector is in a major bubble.
The key word there is almost. There will be a limit and when it is reached the price will level off at best. The wisest thing to do is to not get greedy and buy sparingly in my opinion. I don't mean to be a buzz-kill but people need to temper their enthusiasm so they don't make costly mistakes.
In don't know, I think that while we are in the "almost" is most likely the best time to invest because when the almost disappears the prices will just be too high.
I see 3D printing pretty much as the wearables, it's a whole new market that it's about to boom, so nothing like buying now to gain a lot in a couple of years.
