Zacks’ analyst wrote, “The fourth-quarter results were encouraging with EPS exceeding the Zacks Consensus Estimate and revenues improving on a year-over-year basis. Moreover, growth in product and services revenue helped the company expand its business substantially. Previously, the Stratasys had stated that Hewlett-Packard Company agreed to discontinue its manufacturing and distribution agreement for 3D printers. The discontinuation has been effective since the end of 2012. Despite a globally increasing demand for 3D printers, Stratasys does not expect the termination to have a material impact on the business fundamentals. However, we are a bit apprehensive about the company’s high-cost business model and stiff competition from big and small players like 3D Systems Corp. We have a Neutral recommendation on Stratasys. “
