NEW YORK, June 4, 2026, 17:05 (EDT)
- Stratasys finished the regular Nasdaq session at $9.56, off 30 cents from the previous close. The exchange lists after-hours trading from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. ET.
- Stratasys is now focused on its planned $42.5 million cash buyout of Markforged, which is part of Nano Dimension.
- Stratasys Ltd. said first-quarter adjusted EBITDA fell as currency changes and tariffs weighed on results.
Stratasys Ltd. shares dropped roughly 3% late Thursday, as investors questioned if buying Markforged will jump-start growth without stacking up more execution risk for the 3D-printer company. The stock last traded at $9.56, after starting the session at $9.83 and swinging from $9.545 to $9.90.
Timing is key. Stratasys is working to move investor focus away from choppy industrial demand and margin concerns, pushing the case for its growth in aerospace, defense, and higher-end 3D printing. The company, which calls the method additive manufacturing, makes parts layer by layer using digital files.
Stratasys last week said it will buy Markforged from Nano Dimension in a $42.5 million cash deal. Closing is slated for the second half of 2026, pending regulatory signoff and other conditions. Nano Dimension will keep Markforged’s Metal Binder Jetting business.
Chief Executive Yoav Zeif said the deal is focused on “critical areas such as defense and aerospace.” Zeif said Markforged will bring products and software aimed at industries where performance and supply-chain reliability are key. Stratasys said Markforged pulled in about $70 million in 2025 revenue, counting the metal line Nano plans to keep. The company didn’t break out how much of that metal business was included. SEC
Stratasys’s numbers landed softer. First-quarter revenue dropped to $132.7 million from $136.0 million a year ago, and its GAAP net loss got bigger, moving to $23.8 million from $13.1 million. GAAP is standard U.S. accounting.
Stratasys Ltd. reported adjusted EBITDA fell to $2.0 million from $8.2 million, citing foreign exchange and tariffs as the main reasons. CEO Zeif called the quarter a “measured spending environment,” but noted 23% organic growth at Stratasys Direct, helped by demand from drone customers. Stratasys Ltd.
Stratasys opened its new 200,000-square-foot Americas headquarters in Minnetonka, Minnesota this week, a move the company described as an operational update rather than an earnings release. CEO Yoav Zeif said the new site unites “talent, technology” and manufacturing, with chief business unit officer Rich Garrity adding that the consolidation is meant to boost collaboration. Stratasys Ltd.
3D Systems Corp. lost 54 cents to finish at $3.07. Nano Dimension, which is selling Markforged, dropped 2 cents to $1.63. Peers mostly didn’t help.
Stocks moved without much direction on Thursday. The Nasdaq Composite fell 0.1%. The S&P 500 edged higher and the Dow closed at a record, AP market data showed.
Stratasys shareholders face a simple set of risks: the Markforged deal still isn’t closed, the business needs to be integrated, and end markets have to get better before margin gains come through. If tariffs, FX moves, or customer spending delays stick around, any lift to gross margin and adjusted EBITDA might take longer than management expects.
