Printing Money Printing Money Episode 33: Q2 2025 Public 3D Printing Earnings Review with Troy Jensen, Cantor Fitzgerald
Welcome to Printing Money Episode 33!
Troy Jensen (Managing Director, Cantor Fitzgerald) returns in joining Danny to help our audience analyze the Q2 2025 earnings season.
Danny and Troy parse the financials and offer impactful analysis of earnings reports from DDD, SSYS, MTLS, NNDM, and Nikon SLM Solutions (Nikon: 7731.JP), guidance from EOS and Formlabs, and a lot more.
Danny opens the episode noting some recent notable private financings and Troy picks up on that noting recent uplift in public 3DP/AM companies’ pricing. Despite that uplift, one theme of this episode is the far healthier multiples that Chinese 3DP/AM companies enjoy in their market. Other themes include the Nano Dimension unwind and speculation on a landing place for Markforged, and reshoring and aerospace/defense as drivers for the 3DP/AM industry,
We are reviewing Q2 2025 reporting, yet we are already in Q4 — maybe President Trump might actually temper the quarterly reporting hamster wheel. Perhaps while the President is at it, he could also mandate more punctual reporting so we can really stay current here on the Printing Money pod.
Jokes and light tone aside, we encourage you to listen to this and all Printing Money episodes for informed and incisive coverage of the 3DP/AM markets.
Please enjoy Episode 33 and check out our previous episodes too.
