Shares of Stratasys Ltd. (SSYS - Free Report) depreciated 4.9% on Thursday after the 3D printer hardware and software solution provider reported a wider-than-expected loss for third-quarter 2020.

The company reported non-GAAP loss of 5 cents per share in the third quarter, wider than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 4 cents. Moreover, the company had recorded earnings per share of 12 cents per share in the year-ago quarter.

Stratasys’ revenues of $127.9 million also declined 18.8% year over year. The revenue figure, however, surpassed the consensus mark of $122.5 million. This year-over-year decline in the top line reflects the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic which has dampened the demand for its products and services.
