Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about 3D Systems Corporation stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "In keeping with its volatile earnings history, 3D Systems’ second-quarter 2017 adjusted earnings missed the estimates by a whopping 216.7%, as modest top-line growth was more than offset by a rise in operating expenses. Adverse macroeconomic factors, such as slowdown, currency fluctuations and commodity prices hurt the company’s performance. Consequently, its shares have underperformed the industry’s average return over the past six months. Escalating IT and go-to-market expenses remain headwinds, going forward. Moreover, 3D System operates in a highly dynamic and competitive market which adds to its risks. Nevertheless, its diverse technology portfolio enables it to offset weaknesses associated with a single product line. Going forward, strong demand for production printers, materials and software, as well as healthcare solutions will likely act as major catalysts for growth." (8/8/2017)
• 2. FBR & Co analysts commented, "DDD shares continue to be fairly valued, in our opinion, although the longer-term opportunity set is beginning to come into clearer view, and recent cost-savings initiatives have proven beneficial to the P&L. We believe that 3D Systems can take a leading role in bringing additive manufacturing into multiple industry spaces with the modular and scalable Figure 4 platform. We think that the company is actively working with customers to bring the platform to market but that larger- capacity industries—such as major industrial OEMs—are likely to have a greater lead time than some of the lower-volume potential customers with which 3D is working (it has cited dental labs as an example). Meanwhile, cost initiatives are playing out, but soft spots remain in the quarter-to-quarter revenue stream: Printer revenue was down 4% YOY in 1Q17 due to weaker professional system numbers, and although the revenue decline has slowed relative to previous quarters, on-demand manufacturing services revenue was a 6% YOY decline. Generally speaking, we think that management’s vertical-focused strategy is a good one, but we are held back by nearer-term valuation and certain soft spots in growth." (5/5/2017)
• 3. Jefferies Group LLC analysts commented, "3D Systems reported another revenue miss but showed good progress in its cost reduction effort. 2017 revenue growth guidance of ~5% was also somewhat disappointing. While we found commentary from management regarding an imminent inflection in manufacturing-driven revenue encouraging, we remain on the sidelines until we have more confidence that the DDD can re-accelerate growth." (3/1/2017)
• 4. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "Q4 revenues, released prior to the market open today, declined 10% y/o/y, which was weaker than expected, although lower op-ex enabled DDD to meet our non-GAAP EPS estimate and modestly exceed consensus. Ongoing weakness in the core prototyping market contributed to y/o/y declines in product revenue, materials, and service for the quarter. Mgmt provided annual guidance, with revenues expected to be up 2%-8%, driven in part by new products and growth in the health care vertical, while non-GAAP EPS are forecast to be slightly above consensus. While we are encouraged by the gradual improvement in the company's financials since the new management team has taken over at DDD, given the challenging demand environment, we are maintaining our Hold rating."
