Printing Money is back with Episode 30, and it’s that quarterly time, so we are happy and thankful to welcome back Troy Jensen (Managing Director, Cantor Fitzgerald) to review the Q1 2025 3DP/AM public market earnings.

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.  That is to say, we are looking back as fast as possible in order to look forward.

Danny and Troy start off by ruminating on the lack of 3DP/AM participation in a seemingly general public market momentum.  Tariffs and interest rates play their roles, still it is incumbent upon the 3DP/AM industry to find its footing.

Next, Danny and Troy dive into the Q1 2025 public market earnings.  What of Stratasys and its new cash stockpile?  Can 3D Systems engineer a financial turnaround?  What is the path ahead for Nano Dimension under a new CEO?  Does Q1 2025 show that Materialise’s Q4 2024 disappointment was just an outlier?

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.

The conversation transitions to some green shoot success stories and last, a quick a look ahead at Q2, which of course has already happened…

Please enjoy Episode 30 and check out our previous episodes too.
