3D Systems Q1 Earnings and Revenues Miss Estimates, Stock Down
3D Systems DDD reported first-quarter 2025 non-GAAP loss of 21 cents per share, wider than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 13 cents. The company had incurred a loss of 17 cents per share in the year-ago quarter.DDD reported revenues of $94.5 million, which declined 8.1% year over year. The top line also missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.91%. The decline was primarily attributed to weaker materials sales, largely attributed to customer inventory management in the dental aligner market. This headwind offsets growth achieved in new hardware systems and related services.The company's challenging first-quarter performance negatively impacted investor sentiment, leading to a decline of 21.57% in its share price in the pre-market trading on Tuesday. Year to date, shares of DDD have plunged 21.3%, underperforming the Zacks Industrial Products sector's decline of 5.4%.Product revenues declined 14.6% year over year to $54.7 million in the first quarter, contributing 57.9% to total revenues.

Services revenues, which accounted for 42.1% of total revenues, increased 2.5% year over year to $39.8 million.
The company operates through two key segments — Healthcare Solutions and Industrial Solutions — tailored to the diverse industries it serves. Healthcare Solutions focuses on dental, medical devices, personalized health services and regenerative medicine, whereas Industrial Solutions caters to aerospace, defense, transportation and general manufacturing.In the first quarter, Healthcare Solutions' revenues decreased 9% year over year to $41.3 million. Despite broader economic challenges, the Personalized Healthcare business grew 17%, and manufacturing operations for FDA-approved parts increased 18%, highlighting strong demand in critical markets.Industrial Solutions' revenues also declined 7.5% year over year to $53.2 million.DDD's non-GAAP gross profit fell 19.7% year over year to $33.1 million. The non-GAAP gross profit margin declined 500 basis points to 35% due to lower volumes and unfavorable price and mix.Adjusted EBITDA fell $3.8 million year over year to a loss of $23.9 million in the first quarter. The downturn was due to lower volumes and an unfavorable pricing mix, partially offset by reduced operating expenses stemming from previously implemented cost-saving initiatives.
As of March 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents were $135 million, lower than $171.3 million as of Dec. 31, 2024. The decline was primarily due to $33.8 million in cash used for operating activities and $2.8 million in capital expenditures. As of March 31, 2025, DDD had a total debt of $212.3 million, slightly up from $212 million as of Dec. 31, 2024.The successful sale of the Geomagic portfolio in April significantly improved the company's liquidity position, adding more than $100 million to cash reserves, bringing the total to approximately $250 million as of April 30, 2025.
Due to the risk of prolonged weakness in customer capital investment, 3D Systems is withdrawing its full-year 2025 guidance. In the meantime, it remains focused on achieving profitability at its current scale.Despite near-term headwinds, the company believes that it is well-positioned for accelerated growth and improved profitability once capital spending rebounds, supported by its robust portfolio of new metal and polymer-based products.The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2025 revenues is pegged at $427.61 million, suggesting a year-over-year decline of 2.84%.The Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at a loss of 39 cents per share. This indicates a narrower loss from the year-ago quarter's reported loss of 62 cents. (See the Zacks Earnings Calendar to stay ahead of market-making news.)

3 Warren Buffett Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist in June
American Express has gradually grown into one of Berkshire's top positions. Capital One Financial recently became a more formidable credit card powerhouse. Fossil fuels may be on their way to being displaced by renewables, but that still leaves a long runway for companies like Occidental Petroleum. 10 stocks we like better than American Express › He may be set to step down as head of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A) (NYSE: BRK.B) at the end of this year, but most of the conglomerate's stock holdings are still Warren Buffett's picks. So if you're looking for Buffett-approved ideas, Berkshire's portfolio is still the place to find them. Here are three in particular that you may want to dive into before the end of this month. After nearly two decades of slow and steady (and mostly unheralded) growth, but also due to the recent downsizing of its stake in Bank of America, American Express (NYSE: AXP) has become Berkshire Hathaway's second-biggest holding. With 151.6 million shares, Berkshire owns about 22% of the credit card lender, and that $44.5 billion position makes up 16% of the value of Berkshire's stock portfolio. What's so special about this seemingly ho-hum outfit that's inspired Buffett to not only stick with it for this long, but allow it to become such a major piece of Berkshire's portfolio? It's not nearly as surprising as it may seem at first glance. See, while American Express is frequently lumped together with Visa and Mastercard (for obvious reasons), it's not quite an apples-to-apples comparison. Its business could be better described as a marketing and rewards program that just happens to be centered around a card payments network. Its card holders are willing to pay as much as $700 per year for perks like credit toward streaming services, cash back on hotel stays, access to airport lounges, and other rewards. This is a surprisingly well-protected business model. Although it wouldn't be accurate to say that only affluent households hold Amex cards, the company certainly focuses on the higher-income crowd -- a demographic that isn't as adversely impacted by macroeconomic headwinds like the ones blowing now. For perspective, last quarter, the company's total billed business grew 6% year over year, boosting its currency-adjusted revenue by 8%. Restaurant spending was particularly strong, growing 8%, and underscoring the argument that bigger spenders aren't actually cutting back. American Express is also one of the few outfits that hasn't dialed back its full-year profit outlook. It's still expecting revenue growth of between 8% and 10% to produce earnings per share of between $15 and $15.50. That would be up roughly 14% from last year's earnings of $13.35 per share -- better profit growth than most companies are expected to produce this year. If American Express sits at one end of the consumerism continuum, Capital One Financial (NYSE: COF) occupies a space at the other. Although most people can qualify for a Capital One card, they're well suited for people looking to build (or rebuild) their credit. Still, there's plenty of demand for credit cards from the sections of the marketplace that it caters to, in addition to the piece of the business that Discover served before Capital One's recently completed acquisition of it. Don't underestimate this pairing, either. Combined, those now-merged outfits could loosen the firm grip that industry titans Mastercard and Visa have had on the credit card payments network market for a long time now. See, it's a mostly unrecognized nuance from the consumer perspective, but every credit card payment quietly involves several parties. Card issuers serve as the lenders to credit card-holding consumers, but those issuers also need a means of rapidly approving and processing payments for retailers and other merchants. Visa and Mastercard are the largest of the middleman outfits that provide those networks -- and who collect small fees for every transaction. Capital One has long relied on them, as do all the other issuers of cards with the Mastercard and Visa logos. AmEx operates its own payment network (albeit a smaller one) for its branded cards, keeping everything in house. Discover, however, is a lender that also runs a payments network of its own. Although it's still small by comparison, together, Capital One and Discover have enough scale, leverage, and technical capabilities to serve many customers without the involvement of Visa or Mastercard. There's no way Buffett saw this merger coming back in early 2023 when Berkshire Hathaway first established what is now a 7.1 million share stake in Capital One worth about $1.3 billion. In fact, the conglomerate has actually trimmed its position in the financial services company a bit since early 2024. It's a Buffett holding nonetheless, however, and one that Goldman Sachs recently added to its so-called "conviction list" of tickers that it firmly believes are undervalued and worth owning. Finally, add Occidental Petroleum (NYSE: OXY) to your list of Warren Buffett stocks to buy hand over fist this month. Against the backdrop of renewable energy's proliferation and growing efforts by governments, businesses, and individuals worldwide to reduce their use of fossil fuels, an oil and natural gas extractor like Occidental might not seem to be an obvious holding for a highly traditional and old-school stock picker like Buffett. Yet despite the continued adoption of renewable energy sources, the world will still need more and more oil for a long time. Researchers at Goldman Sachs don't believe we'll reach "peak oil" -- the point at which the average daily consumption of crude oil stops growing and starts shrinking -- until 2034, in fact, and even beyond that point, we'll need lots of it for several more decades. OPEC doesn't believe crude consumption's growth will peak until 2045 at the earliest, while oil giant ExxonMobil is forecasting that oil demand will peak in 2030, but also anticipates that in 2050, we'll still need about the same amount of it that we do in 2030. And it expects that overall, in 25 years, oil and natural gas will still account for more than half of the global energy mix. In other words, there's still lots of good money to be made in the fossil fuel business by a low-cost operator like Occidental Petroleum. To the extent the oil and natural gas industry business is living on borrowed time, though, Occidental is evolving brilliantly. The company's carbon-capture technology (literally) sucks carbon dioxide out of the ambient air. The business just needs scale, which is being encouraged by incentives. That's one of the chief reasons Precedence Research believes the global carbon capture market will grow at an annualized rate of more than 21% through 2034. This stock hasn't been a strong performer since late 2022. Indeed, it has lost nearly half its value since then. That's only because oil prices have been in a slump since then, though, dragging the industry's earnings down with it. Buffett has been unfazed, however. Not only has he stuck with Occidental, he has added to Berkshire's stake, growing it into a 264.9 million share position worth, at current share prices, about $13 billion. That's nearly 6% of Berkshire's stock portfolio and 27% of Occidental Petroleum's entire float.

Virco Manufacturing Corporation (VIRC) Reports Q1 Loss, Misses Revenue Estimates
Virco Manufacturing Corporation (VIRC) came out with a quarterly loss of $0.01 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.13. This compares to earnings of $0.13 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of 92.31%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post a loss of $0.15 per share when it actually produced a loss of $0.35, delivering a surprise of -133.33%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times. Virco Manufacturing , which belongs to the Zacks Furniture industry, posted revenues of $33.75 million for the quarter ended April 2025, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 17.87%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $46.74 million. The company has not been able to beat consensus revenue estimates over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. Virco Manufacturing shares have lost about 19.9% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 1%. While Virco Manufacturing has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Virco Manufacturing: unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here. It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.81 on $113.8 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.79 on $270.5 million in revenues for the current fiscal year. Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Furniture is currently in the bottom 22% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1. La-Z-Boy (LZB), another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended April 2025. The results are expected to be released on June 17. This furniture company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.93 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -2.1%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. La-Z-Boy's revenues are expected to be $558.55 million, up 0.9% from the year-ago quarter.

UK Regulator FCA to Lift Ban on Crypto ETNs for Retail Investors
U.K. financial regulator the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said it will allow consumers access to crypto exchange traded notes (cETNs), as the watchdog aims at growing digital assets in Britain. The move means cETNs could be sold to individual consumers rather than just professional investors in the U.K., provided these are traded on an FCA-approved investment exchange (a Recognized Investment Exchange or RIE), according to an FCA press release on Friday. FCA pointed out that similar products are already available in other countries. The FCA's ban on retail access to cryptoasset derivatives will remain in place, while the regulator continues to monitor market developments and consider its approach to high-risk investments, the release said. As regulatory regimes are put in place around the world, the U.K. is feeling the need to compete, as evidenced by U.K. government consultations on crypto rules and recent comments from the Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves. 'This consultation demonstrates our commitment to supporting the growth and competitiveness of the UK's crypto industry,' said David Geale, executive director of payments and digital assets at the FCA. 'We want to rebalance our approach to risk and lifting the ban would allow people to make the choice on whether such a high-risk investment is right for them given they could lose all their money,' Geale said in a statement. The U.K.'s existing financial promotion rules would apply so consumers get information on the risks and would not be offered inappropriate incentives to invest, in the same way as if they bought cryptoassets directly, the FCA said. "This development is fully aligned with the U.K.'s ambition to position itself as a sophisticated jurisdiction in the crypto space," said Diego Ballon Ossio, Partner at Clifford Chance via email. "It will not only unlock exposure to crypto assets for retail investors but stands as signal that the U.K. is open to crypto. More work is needed on the Prudential Treatment of these assets but we are certainly heading in the right direction," he said.
