B.Riley FBR analyst Christopher Van Horn maintained a Hold rating on 3D Systems (DDD) on September 13 and set a price target of $8. The company’s shares closed last Monday at $8.49, close to its 52-week low of $6.47.
Van Horn observed:
“We are transferring coverage of 3D Systems Corporation (DDD) to Chistopher Van Horn, due to a reallocation of resources, and maintaining our Neutral rating and 12-month price target of $8. We have seen improvement in DDD’s cost profile, but macro-level challenges are weighing on the company’s ability to drive growth and leverage fixed costs. A number of DDD-specific issues have weighed on the stock over the last two years, including new-product rollout issues and an export-compliance matter; and the company continues to see volatility in its printer price/mix. Overall, we think the challenges are mostly priced into the stock, but we do not see a clear path higher in light of end-market conditions and continued, intense competition in the industry.”
