3D Printer Stocks Taking Off – Not Too Late for this Trend

April 18, 2017 by Cor Bader

3D printer companies are getting some attention again.  Earlier this month the Motley Fool had an article on 3D printing one how more and more companies are turning to the technology while we can likely forget about using them in our homes (at least for now). From the article:

There’s some significant progress on that front, with Stratasys signing deals with both Airbus and Ford. 3D Systems has been used by Mitsubishi and Daimler as well, so these companies are slowly being built into the design process. And these partnerships just scratch the surface of companies expanding 3D printing capabilities.

They go on to explain how 3D printing with metals will be the next phase for growth. And recently they covered again on the shoe industry and it’s use 3D printing.

On the 3D printing end, this partnership propels Carbon way ahead of current leader 3D Systems (NYSE:DDD) in the 3D-printed shoe space. Moreover, Carbon is on track to become the tech supplier behind a momentous 3D printing industry record: Once production hits full scale, the Futurecraft 4D will be the highest-quantity mass-produced 3D-printed product ever!

Today shares of Stratasys shot up over 10% on a upgrade noting a positive outlook for the rest of the year.  Stratasys has little debt, and arguably the most experience on commercial 3D printing.

If we compare the disruptive technology cycle chart below with the price action of 3D printing companies we may now just be past the disillusionment trough.

Stratasys ($SSYS) Monthly

The stock is down about 80% from it’s 2014 level and now starting to trend up.  Insider buying has also been trending up since December.  If we consider Trump’s America first mantra and the push for manufacturing back home, it stands to reason that 3D printing could end up benefiting.  In the future the profits from commercial 3D printing may fuel 3D printing for home personal consumption.

Action to take: Buy Stratasys up to $26 a share.  Use a 25% trailing stop or sell if it closes below $16.00

The company also has been managing it’s business much better than it’s peers.  Noted from the 3rd quarter of 2016 they exceed at keeping their costs down:

All-in sustaining costs: down 27%

As if the dual fuels of rising production and prices were not enough, First Majestic also pushed its all-in sustaining costs down by 27% year over year to just $10.52 per silver ounce. Three factors contributed to this decline: the company’s recently renegotiated smelting and refining agreements, the continued weakness in the Mexican peso, and its record silver production. Those new arrangements alone resulted in a 34% decrease in smelting and refining costs, helping the company to more than offset a 10% increase in electric costs from the national power grid.

Recommendation: BUY (First Majestic Silver Corp. ($AG).  Sell if you reach a 25% trailing stop or if the stock closes below it’s March low of $7.23.

This is a good time to play off of uncertainty, while the rest of the market appears expensive.
