I mean 3D printing's revenue generation (as far as public companies are concerned) did not meet the hype surrounding the space during much of 2013-2014. SGLB certainly is included there.
What's different now? I've done what I guess is a deep dive into some of the companies (public and private) that SGLB is currently working with via some contacts I have. I know that Morf3D for example, can not keep up with the demand for parts in aerospace right now, which is why a deal with SGLB makes perfect sense.
As we all know, SGLB has always had top tier partners they've worked with for a few years now, and they've not been able to generate the kind of revenue to date to impress the market.
I believe (strongly), that this is about to change. Of course I have no "inside information" but I do have a network of contacts that I can glean a great deal of salient information from re: what's going on in the space in general and more specifically, re: Morf3D.
Bottom line is I pounded the table on this stock starting in early or mid 2013, sold the profits when revenue generation didn't meet my expectations, and I'm buying back now because there are many many irons in the fire and some are going to pan out.
Lastly, SGLB can break even with just about $2.7M in sales. My gut tells me they'll have that this year. I don't expect you to trust my gut of course, but I trust it :)
Bottom line is anyone can have an opinion on where SGLB is headed this year. Not many (or any?) can show that they correctly called for it to outperform all other 3D printing stocks in 2013. This is my belief based on my due diligence: By Q2 at the latest, SGLB will have announced more sales to be accounted by eoy than the company has had in its history, and SGLB will again be the best performing 3D printing stock of 2017.
Oh, expecting NASDAQ by Q3.
re: Can you elaborate on your statement? What is different this time? What is your time frame? What rate do you see sales increasing to create this fundamental strength?
