We are back with Episode 19 of Printing Money. The world does not stop turning. One not-so-profound reminder of that is the quarterly earnings reports of publicly traded companies. It never ends, and we are always there to cover this aspect of the 3D printing world.
Last episode, we zoomed out to talk about policies which shape the additive manufacturing (AM) industry. For Episode 19 we are zooming back in, welcoming back Wall Street analyst Troy Jensen (Cantor Fitzgerald) and looking at the Q1 2024 earnings reports of the variously publicly traded 3D printing companies. Unfortunately, there were a few negative themes including reverse stock splits, missed earnings reports, and negative enterprise values. But we also touch on positive trends for some with increasing gross margins, materials consumption, and healthy cash positions.
Please enjoy Episode 19 and stay tuned for future shows. See you at RAPID!
