Stifel is commenting on Hold-rated 3D Systems (NYSE: DDD) following the unexpected departure of CFO Ted Hull earlier this morning.
Analyst Patrick Newton summarized: We anticipate investors will cautiously view this latest announcement from DDD due to the unexpected nature of the announcement and Mr. Hull’s brief 7 month tenure as CFO. We view the announcement as highlighting the challenges currently facing 3D Systems, specifically in channel management, managing aggressive new product introductions, and a combination of industry/company specific headwinds that are inhibiting organic growth. Additionally, in our opinion, the complexity of 3D Systems’ roll-up strategy could increase the challenges of managing and forecasting from a finance perspective.
