Read MoreHide Full Article

Stratasys (SSYS - Free Report) shares rallied 6.9% in the last trading session to close at $11.73. This move can be attributable to notable volume with a higher number of shares being traded than in a typical session. This compares to the stock's 2.1% gain over the past four weeks.

Stratasys is benefiting from ongoing R&D investments that drive new products, materials, and software solutions. As part of this, it launched GrabCAD Print Pro 2025, enabling operators to create complex fixtures without CAD tools and streamline workflows across Stratasys and third-party platforms.

This maker of 3D printers is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.03 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +175%. Revenues are expected to be $137.43 million, down 0.4% from the year-ago quarter.

While earnings and revenue growth expectations are important in evaluating the potential strength in a stock, empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.

For Stratasys, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. And a stock's price usually doesn't keep moving higher in the absence of any trend in earnings estimate revisions. So, make sure to keep an eye on SSYS going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
