3D Systems Corp (DDD)

[str8_chuter]

DDD will regain its following, sooner than later. After all, the founder, Dr. Hull, invented stereolithography, or 3-D printing.

The industry favorite among analysts has been Protolabs (PRLB) since the company has been consistently growing the last couple of years. PRLB now has a larger market cap even though DDD outsells them by a wide margin.

IMO, valuation metrics in this industry are do for a reappraisal.

PRLB trades for over 9X sales.
DDD trades for less than 3.5X sales.
SSYS trades for under 2X sales.

In the past two quarters, DDD has demonstrated that its stock price warrants a higher multiple.
