The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the bottom line is pegged at break-even, unchanged over the past 30 days. 3D Systems reported a loss of 6 cents per share in the year-ago quarter.
The company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in two of the trailing four quarters, missing in one and matching in the remaining quarter, the average surprise being 32.29%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up before this announcement.
Factors to Note
3D Systems’ fourth-quarter 2023 results are expected to have suffered from a challenging industrial market. A tough macroeconomic environment, including raging inflation, is expected to have negatively impacted top-line growth.
However, DDD’s innovative portfolio that addresses the needs of a wide variety of industrial markets, including semiconductor equipment, aerospace and defense, automotive as well as electric vehicles, has been a catalyst.
Gross margin is likely to have continued expansion thanks to improved operational efficiencies. However, higher research & development expenses are expected to have hurt the bottom line.
3D Systems also suffers from customer concentration in the dentistry market, which is almost half of its healthcare business. Moreover, raging inflation is expected to have hurt demand for aligners, which didn’t bode well for top-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter.
What Our Model Indicates
Per the Zacks model, the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. But that’s not the case here.
3D Systems has an Earnings ESP of 0.00% and a Zacks Rank #3 at present. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
