| 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. |

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.
