- 3D Systems (DDD +5.8%), Stratasys (SSYS +5.1%), Voxeljet (VJET +4.6%), and (especially) ExOne (XONE +16.6%) are up strongly on a day the Nasdaq is up 0.4%.
- Profit-taking from shorts is likely helping out: 3D had 34.1M shares (32% of its float) shorted as of Oct. 30. Stratasys had 12.4M shares (25% of its float) shorted, ExOne 2.5M shares (26% of its float), and Voxeljet 1.3M shares (10% of its float).
- ExOne's gains come less than three weeks after shares plunged on account of a Q3 miss and full-year guidance cut.
