Shares of 3D printing stocks are advancing after two analysts issued upbeat notes about a company in the sector, 3D Systems (DDD). WHAT'S NEW: A number of factors should cause 3D Systems' margins to rise, wrote Needham analyst James Ricchiuti in a note to investors earlier today.

Meanwhile, Maxim Group said it believes that 3D printing is in the early stages of adoption based on its review of a report on the sector. The firm raised its price target on 3D Systems to $54 from $44 and kept a Buy rating on the shares.

| 10:07 EDT | | SSYS | ExOne tumbles after reporting weaker than expected results
Shares of 3D printer maker ExOne (XONE) are sinking after the company reported weaker than expected results last night. WHAT'S NEW: ExOne's first quarter earnings per share loss was higher than expected, and its revenue was lower than expected. Weakness in Europe slowed purchasing decisions by ExOne's customers in that region, the company's CEO S. Kent Rockwell said in a statement. However, the company reiterated its fiscal 2013 revenue guidance of $48M-$52M, and noted that it has continued to grow its customer base for product parts made by 3D printers. ANALYST REACTION: In a note to investors, Canaccord analyst Bobby Burleson recommended that investors use any weakness in 3D printer makers 3D Systems (DDD) and Stratasys (SSYS) as buying opportunities. ExOne is focused on selling very expensive machines, and its customer base is much less diversified than those of Stratsys and 3D Systems, Burleson wrote. Its results are more volatile than those of Stratasys and 3D systems, according to the analyst, who kept Buy ratings on both 3D Systems and Stratasys. TODAY'S PRICE ACTION: In early trading, Stratasys rose 1.3% to $91.40, 3D Systems gained 1.6% to $49.65, and ExOne tumbled 10% to $43.55. Another company in the sector, Proto Labs (PRLB), gave back 3.15% to $55. |
