Description
<p class="p1"><i>Printing Money </i>is back with Episode 30, and it’s that quarterly time, so we are happy and thankful to welcome back Troy Jensen (Managing Director, <a href="https://www.cantor.com/"><span class="s1">Cantor Fitzgerald</span></a>) to review the Q1 2025 3DP/AM public market earnings.</p>
<p class="p1">Public market valuations are based on forward looking earnings, but the reporting calendar means we recorded this “Q1 2025” episode on the very last day of Q2.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>That is to say, we are looking back as fast as possible in order to look forward.</p>
<p class="p1">Danny and Troy start off by ruminating on the lack of 3DP/AM participation in a seemingly general public market momentum.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Tariffs and interest rates play their roles, still it is incumbent upon the 3DP/AM industry to find its footing.</p>
<p class="p1">Next, Danny and Troy dive into the Q1 2025 public market earnings.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>What of Stratasys and its new cash stockpile?<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Can 3D Systems engineer a financial turnaround?<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>What is the path ahead for Nano Dimension under a new CEO?<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Does Q1 2025 show that Materialise’s Q4 2024 disappointment was just an outlier?</p>
<p class="p1">From here, Danny and Troy turn to some private market players, in part because there are not as many relevant pubic pure-plays nowadays, but also because these privates are significant and can have impacts on the public market players’ performance.</p>
<p class="p1">The conversation transitions to some green shoot success stories and last, a quick a look ahead at Q2, which of course has already happened…</p>
<p class="p1">Please enjoy Episode 30 and check out our <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/printing-money/id1677763311"><span class="s1">previous episodes</span></a> too.</p>
