Does 3D Systems Have 20% Upside? (Barron’s)
Shares of 3D Systems could be headed to $60 and potentially above that, based on technical performance signals for the printer and services company, according to Orips Research. On Monday, Citigroup initiated coverage of 3D Systems Corporation (NYSE:DDD) with a $60 price target, and initiated Stratasys, Ltd. (NASDAQ:SSYS) – both with Buy ratings. Analyst Kenneth Wong argued that the industry is “ready to push beyond prototyping” and sits on the cusp of “much broader adoption across more upstream production applications and the consumer end market.” Wong thinks the $2 billion market for the technology could triple in size in the next five years.

The hilt of the fencing sword must fit the fencer’s hand perfectly, even a slight difference in the shape of the hilt can spell victory or defeat. Before 3D printing, there was only one type of fencing hilt in the world, and each competitor had to personally file the hilt to customize the fit and achieve a non-slip surface. If the sword ended up breaking, it was almost impossible to get another one with the same fit.

Traders Should Move Quickly on 3D Systems (Investorplace.com)
I first recommended this stock on Aug. 12 at $47.23. 3D Systems Corporation (NYSE:DDD) popped more than 7% when Citi analyst Kenneth Wong gave it a strong buy rating with a $60 price target, saying that the 3D printing market should more than triple in size over the next five years. I think that readers should review this stock again and take both long-term and trading positions. Technically, 3D Systems Corporation (NYSE:DDD) broke from a compound top at $51 on high volume. The stock has a history of high-volume spurts of accumulation, but Monday’s breakout should attract more consistent accumulation, and thus move quickly to its trading target of $60.
