Printing Money Episode 21: Q2 2024 Earnings Analysis with Troy Jensen, Cantor Fitzgerald

Like sands through the hourglass, so is the Q2 2024 earnings season.  All of the publicly traded 3D printing companies have reported their financials, so it is time to welcome back Cantor Fitzgerald Managing Director Troy Jensen to discuss and analyze the numbers.

Problematic balance sheets and challenging operating environments serve as a backdrop for some negative themes including strategic reviews, slashed operating expenses, and dwindling market capitalizations. But it’s not all gloom and doom. Nikon SLM Solutions continues to experience growth, and some services and software providers performed well enough too.  And through it all, the additive manufacturing (AM) industry is still growing, so Danny and Troy point to some of the private companies where growth seems apparent. AM Research has more than a decade of historical data on private and public 3D printing companies alike and can certainly back up Danny and Troy’s thoughts on the privates.

Please enjoy Episode 21, and, if you are at IMTS this week, come find Danny, and Troy, and the 3DPrint.com and AM Research teams, all of which will be presenting on either the Formnext Stage or at the Investor Forum.
