Here’s What You Should WatchOver the Short Term• 3D is expected to report
earnings of $0.08 per share for the previous quarter.
• Analysts expect the company to have collected $184 million in sales for the previous quarter.
• For the holiday quarter, analysts expect the company to earn $0.15 on sales of $206 million.
Over the Long Term• 3D Systems was able to grow
its revenue at an impressive clip for years, but it was largely fueled by acquisitions.
• Investors should look at organic revenue growth to see how healthy the company is.– Last quarter, it shrunk 2%, after
accounting for currency differences.
