| May 20, 2013 | | 11:00 EDT |  | SSYS | 3D printing companies rise after bullish analyst notes
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, demand for 3D Systems' products and services remains healthy, the analyst stated, adding that he is now more optimistic about the company's ability to beat earnings expectations going forward. Ricchiuti increased his price target on the stock to $52 from $42 and reiterated a Buy rating. 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. PRICE ACTION: In mid-morning trading, 3D Systems rose 3.9% to $48.50, Stratasys (SSYS) climbed 4.2% to $91.70, and ExOne (XONE) gained 4.5% to $42.40. | | | 08:28 EDT |  | SPLK | Splunk has opportunity to expand market, says Pacific Crest

The S&P 500 was virtually unchanged at midday following a deluge of domestic economic data this morning. The S&P began the session in negative territory, but only moderately lower, after investors received a host of data prior to the open, including reports on jobless claims, consumer prices, and housing starts. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., initial jobless claims rose 32K to 360K last week, compared to expectations for them to remain relatively stable at 330K. The consumer price index dropped a larger than forecast 0.4% in April, though the "core" CPI rate rose 0.1%, as expected. Housing starts were down 16.5% in April from the prior month, versus an expected decrease of 6.4%, though building permits jumped 14.3% from the prior month, beating an expected increase of 3.8%. The Philadelphia Fed General Business Conditions Index for May came in at -5.2, versus expectations for a +2.2 reading. COMPANY NEWS: Earnings reports from two Dow members, Wal-Mart (WMT) and Cisco (CSCO), sent their shares in opposite directions. Cisco shares advanced 12% to lead the blue chip index after the company's results beat expectations on the top and bottom lines and prompted price target increases at several analyst firms. Wal-Mart, in contrast, lagged all Dow names, sliding 2% after its earnings for the just ended quarter and its view of the current quarter missed the consensus forecast... After the closing bell, Tesla Motors (TSLA) said it intends to raise about $830M by offering 2.7M common shares and $450M in convertible senior notes. CEO Elon Musk will buy $100M worth of the stock and debt, the company said, and its recently high-flying shares rose another 6%. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers rising following Cisco's better than expected results and commentary were Ciena (CIEN), which rose 8%, and Cavium (CAVM), which advanced 4%. Also higher were shares of NetApp (NTAP), which gained over 6% after Bloomberg said activist investor Elliott Management has taken a stake in the company and is pushing its board to explore ways to boost shareholder value. Among the noteworthy losers were Oncothyreon (ONTY), which fell 20%, and Biomarin (BMRN), down 5%, after both pharmaceutical companies, among a number of others, published data to be presented at ASCO, an annual meeting of oncologists. Also lower was AMD (AMD), which declined 14% following a downgrade to Sell at Goldman Sachs. INDICES: Near noon, the Dow was up 12.47, or 0.08%, to 15,288.16; the Nasdaq was up 8.74, or 0.25%, to 3,480.36; and the S&P 500 was nearly flat at 1,658.80. | | | 11:23 EDT |  | CIEN | Ciena spikes higher fueled by Cisco's results, levels to watch

Subscribe for More Information | | | 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. | | | | 09:19 EDT | | SSYS | On The Fly: Pre-market Movers

3D printing companies 3D Systems (DDD) and Stratasys (SSYS) are trading higher after Stratasys reported quarterly results that beat estimates, while 3D Systems received a positive mention at research firm Canaccord. WHAT'S NEW: Earlier today, Stratasys reported first quarter earnings of 43c, beating consensus expectations by 5c, while reporting revenue that was in-line with expectations. The company also affirmed its full-year earnings and revenue views, adding that as of March 31, it has shipped 30,984 systems worldwide. ANALYST OPINION: In a note to investor's earlier today, Canaccord raised its price target on 3D Systems to $50 from $45 while reiterating a Buy rating on shares. Canaccord Genuity analyst Bobby Burleson said he believes 3D Systems' strong printer and services revenue may enable it to deliver upside to earnings forecasts. PRICE ACTION: In afternoon trading, Stratasys rose $2.06, or 2.47%, to $85.47. Shares of 3D Systems gained nearly 7% to $46.89 and are up more than 50% since March 15. | | | 07:05 EDT |  | SSYS | Stratasys backs FY13 EPS $1.80-$1.95, consensus $1.88
