New company (“NewCo”) co-founded by Nxera with a syndicate of leading healthcare and life sciences-focused investment firms.In return for granting an exclusive worldwide license to the program, Nxera is eligible to receive up to US$275 million in development and commercial milestone payments as well as tiered royalties. In addition, Nxera retains rights to Japan and certain Asia-Pacific territories and now holds a significant minority equity stake in the NewCo.Builds toward the establishment of an asset spin-out model, following Orexia Therapeutics/Centessa Pharmaceuticals, which announced an agreement to be acquired by Lilly. Tokyo, Japan and Cambridge, UK, 11 May 2026 – As announced on 12 February 2026, Nxera Pharma Co., Ltd. (“Nxera” or the “Company”) entered into a license agreement with a newly established company (“NewCo”) to advance a specific GPCR-targeted program owned by Nxera. Nxera today announces that, in connection with the closing of a Series A financing undertaken by NewCo, Nxera and a syndicate of leading healthcare and life sciences-focused investors have entered into an investment agreement with NewCo. NewCo will accelerate preclinical studies of a GPCR program against a target discovered using Nxera’s NxWave™ technology platform and advance the program toward global clinical trials. By participating in the Series A financing, Nxera will continue its partnership with NewCo to maximize impact for patients and the value of the program for shareholders.

Under the terms of the license agreement, Nxera has granted NewCo an exclusive worldwide license to develop, manufacture and commercialize a GPCR program currently at pre-clinical stage (target undisclosed), excluding Japan and certain Asia-Pacific territories. Nxera is eligible to receive up to US$275 million in milestone payments based on development and commercial progress, plus tiered royalties.

In addition, following NewCo’s formation, the execution of the license agreement and completion of the Series A financing, Nxera holds a significant minority equity stake in NewCo on a fully diluted basis. The program is outside Nxera's core metabolic and rare endocrine focus, and the spin-out structure allows it to be advanced with dedicated external capital and leadership.

Dr. Patrik Foerch, Nxera’s Chief Scientific Officer and President of Nxera Pharma UK, has joined NewCo’s Board of Directors. Through this representation, Nxera will continue the work with NewCo under appropriate governance on development execution and key strategic decisions, with the joint aim of accelerating and maximizing the value of the program.

Christopher Cargill, President and CEO of Nxera Pharma, commented: “This transaction marks Nxera’s second deployment of a spin-out model already validated by Orexia Therapeutics, whose orexin 2 receptor agonist pipeline was further developed via Centessa Pharmaceuticals and is being acquired by Lilly for up to approximately US$7.8 billion. The model allows us to accelerate the development of promising and differentiated, but non-core GPCR-targeted assets from NxWave™ into global clinical trials while retaining equity, milestones and royalties. Crucially, we have kept rights in Japan and parts of Asia-Pacific in this new transaction, so that if development succeeds, we can advance and deliver this medicine directly to patients in our home markets.”

Key Takeaways Novo Nordisk raised its 2026 outlook after strong Q1 GLP-1 sales beat estimates.NVO faces rising pressure from Lilly's Mounjaro, Zepbound and oral GLP-1 drug Foundayo.Novo Nordisk is expanding Wegovy, Ozempic and Rybelsus labels to defend market share. Novo Nordisk (NVO - Free Report) is a dominant player in the GLP-1 space, marketing its semaglutide drugs under brand names Ozempic (pre-filled pen) and Rybelsus (oral tablet) for type II diabetes (T2D), and Wegovy (injection and oral tablet) for chronic weight management.

Novo Nordisk’s growth trajectory was notably pressured in 2025 by the widespread availability of compounded GLP-1 alternatives in the obesity market, eroding demand for its branded therapies. In 2026, the company succeeded in curbing the proliferation of these compounded products through legal measures, stricter FDA oversight and strategic partnerships with telehealth providers. Despite this progress, Novo Nordisk continues to face broader structural challenges that weigh on its sales growth and compress operating margins.

Investor sentiment improved after NVO comfortably beat earnings and revenue expectations in the first quarter, driven by higher GLP-1 sales. The company also raised its 2026 outlook, signaling that management may be regaining control following months of slowing growth concerns. Novo Nordisk now expects adjusted sales and operating profit to decline 4-12% at CER in 2026 compared with its earlier forecast of a 5-13% decline, supported by rising GLP-1 demand, especially in obesity care, broader treatment adoption and continued Wegovy launches in new markets.

NVO Threatened by LLY’s Expanding GLP-1 Market PresenceNovo Nordisk’s near-term visibility remains clouded primarily by intensifying competition from Eli Lilly (LLY - Free Report) , accompanied by other factors, like pricing pressure in the United States, weaker injectable GLP-1 prescription trends and reduced Medicaid obesity coverage. Additional risks include the MFN pricing agreement, gradual semaglutide exclusivity losses in certain markets and elevated spending on R&D, manufacturing and commercial expansion.

Eli Lilly continues to strengthen its position in the obesity and diabetes markets, raising questions about Novo Nordisk’s ability to defend market share and maintain pricing power over time. LLY also comprehensively beat earnings and revenue estimates in the first quarter of 2026, driven by robust volume growth in its tirzepatide (GLP-1) injections, including Mounjaro for T2D and Zepbound for obesity, which compete directly with NVO’s Ozempic and Wegovy.

Novo Nordisk gained a first-mover advantage in oral obesity treatments after launching an oral version of Wegovy in January 2026, ahead of Eli Lilly’s oral GLP-1 drug, Foundayo. However, Lilly could quickly narrow the gap as Foundayo offers greater convenience with no food restrictions, while oral Wegovy must be taken on an empty stomach. Wegovy, though, appears to have a more favorable safety and tolerability profile, with fewer gastrointestinal side effects.

To strengthen its position, Novo Nordisk is expanding its obesity and diabetes portfolio through new approvals and label expansions. Rybelsus’ label was expanded to lower cardiovascular risk in high-risk T2D patients, while Wegovy expanded its reach with cardiovascular, HFpEF and osteoarthritis indications alongside approvals for higher-dose injections in the United States and Europe. Meanwhile, Ozempic remains the only GLP-1 approved to slow kidney disease progression and reduce cardiovascular death in diabetes patients, with additional label expansion efforts underway for peripheral artery disease.

The FDA recently approved an oral version of Ozempic for adult T2D patients, which NVO is planning to launch soon. A supplemental application for a higher 25 mg tablet is also under review, with a regulatory decision expected by the end of 2026. Novo Nordisk also intends to seek regulatory approval for both Rybelsus and oral Ozempic in pediatric patients with T2D in the United States and the EU in the second half of 2026. It also continues to advance multiple next-generation obesity and diabetes candidates to reinforce the long-term growth outlook.

Small Biotechs Eye Entry Into the Obesity Pill MarketThe obesity space is also attracting new contenders to challenge the incumbents. Smaller biotech firms, like Viking Therapeutics (VKTX - Free Report) and Structure Therapeutics (GPCR - Free Report) , are advancing GLP-1–based therapies to challenge the incumbents.

Viking Therapeutics’ dual GIPR/GLP-1 receptor agonist, VK2735, is being developed both as oral and subcutaneous formulations for the treatment of obesity.  Viking plans to advance oral VK2735 into phase III development for obesity in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Structure Therapeutics’ phase II ACCESS study on its orally administered GLP-1 RA, aleniglipron, demonstrated significant weight loss across all doses. Structure Therapeutics expects to initiate the late-stage program of aleniglipron in obesity in the second half of 2026.

NVO’s Stock Price, Valuation & EstimatesYear to date, Novo Nordisk shares have lost 7.4% compared with the industry’s 2.3% decline. The company has also underperformed the sector and the S&P 500 during the same time frame, as seen in the chart below.

What happenedAccording to a recent SEC filing dated May 13, 2026, Monashee Investment Management reduced its holding in Structure Therapeutics (GPCR +4.26%) by 175,000 shares during the first quarter.

The value of Monashee’s GPCR position decreased by $13.24 million over the quarter, a figure that includes both trading and stock price effects.

Its strategy emphasizes innovation in small-molecule drug design, aiming to deliver differentiated treatments to large, underserved patient populations.

What this transaction means for investorsMonashee sharply reduced its position in Structure Therapeutics, cutting its holdings from roughly 225,000 shares to about 50,000 shares -- even as the company itself seems to be doing well. So, what does this indicate about Structure's future potential?

The weight loss drug market, especially GLP-1, has become extremely competitive. While it’s still dominated by injectable medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy, oral therapies are gaining ground fast. That’s the market Structure Therapeutics hopes to reach.

Structure continues to post encouraging results in clinical testing. Its lead candidate, aleniglipron, has shown strong results in phase 2 trials. Pill-based treatments could be easier and less costly to manufacture and distribute, and may also be more attractive to patients than injectables.

The question is, who will win the race? Structure is far from the only pharmaceutical company developing oral GLP-1 weight loss medications. Monashee’s decision to significantly reduce its position, rather than fully exit, may signal caution as the race intensifies. Rather than trying to analyze individual pharma stocks, individual investors may prefer an ETF with a broader focus in the GLP-1 industry, such as Roundhill GLP-1 & Weight Loss ETF (NASDAQ: OZEM), which holds several different companies in the space.

What this transaction means for investorsBy adding to a position after a strong run, Deep Track is suggesting it believes important value-creating milestones are still ahead for Structure, even after a nearly 60% run this past year.

The company has been building a compelling case for aleniglipron, its oral GLP-1 candidate. In March, it reported Phase 2 data showing up to 16.3% weight loss at 44 weeks, which management described as the highest efficacy reported among oral GLP-1 drugs and potentially comparable to injectable therapies. The company also received positive end-of-Phase 2 feedback from the FDA and remains on track to begin Phase 3 studies in the third quarter of 2026.

CEO Raymond Stevens said the company is "well positioned" to launch its registrational program and highlighted additional amylin and combination therapy opportunities that could broaden the pipeline.

Structure also remains well-funded, ending the quarter with roughly $1.5 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, enough to support operations through the end of 2028. Ultimately, the key question going forward is whether aleniglipron can continue producing competitive efficacy as it moves into larger studies. If it can, Structure could emerge as a meaningful player in the rapidly expanding obesity market.

CompaniesJune 5 (Reuters) - Structure Therapeutics (GPCR.O), opens new tab said on Friday its experimental GLP-1 obesity pill did not show any signs of drug-induced liver injury, and patients continued to lose weight even on the lower doses ​of the drug.

The company said only 10.4% of patients taking the experimental small molecule drug, aleniglipron, discontinued ‌treatment.

The results were presented at the American Diabetes Association meeting in New Orleans and published in a medical journal.

The oral drug has been touted as a potential competitor to Eli Lilly's (LLY.N), opens new tab Foundayo and Novo Nordisk's (NOVOb.CO), opens new tab Wegovy pill.

Patients on Structure's ​once-daily pill lost up to 39 lbs on the 180 mg dose after 44 weeks, compared ​with a placebo, in a mid-stage trial, the company had reported in March. ⁠Patients on the higher 240 mg dose lost 37 lbs or 16% of their weight.

In December, the ​drug had shown weight loss of up to 15.3% with 240 mg dose at 36 weeks. Patients ​taking the 120 mg dose showed a placebo-adjusted mean weight loss of 11.3%.

On Friday, the company said participants who remained on drug in the open-label extension continued to lose weight after a median follow up of 20 weeks, with weight ​loss of 13.3%, 16.2%, and 15.3% in participants who took 45 mg, 90 mg, and 120 mg ​doses of aleniglipron, respectively.

There was also no weight-loss plateau, which Julio Rosenstock, chair of the aleniglipron program steering committee, said ‌was ⁠an important distinction for a once-daily oral, non-peptide GLP-1 receptor agonist to potentially become an additional treatment option for patients.

The company said it saw improved tolerability at a lower 2.5 mg starting dose, adding the data supports the design of its late stage program set to begin in the third quarter of 2026.

Wall ​Street has been focused ​on better tolerability as ⁠a point of differentiation between obesity drugs. Aleniglipron is a oral pill and could appeal more to patients than injectable therapies.

Aleniglipron continues to look competitive on ​efficacy and there is potential for improved tolerability in the late-stage trial, said ​J.P. Morgan ⁠analyst Hardik Parikh.

The most commonly occurring side effects with aleniglipron were gastrointestinal, including nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and constipation.

Structure said a review of each patient's dosing over the course of the study shows that while some required dose ⁠interruptions ​or reductions, vomiting rarely recurred once treatment was resumed or ​the dose was increased again.

Serious adverse effects occurred in one participant who received the 45 mg doses, none who took 90 mg ​and four participants receiving 120 mg.

Structure Therapeutics advances aleniglipron, a potential best-in-class oral GLP-1, into Phase 3 for obesity, supported by strong Phase 2b data. GPCR's $1.5B cash position and a projected cash runway through 2028 underpin its ability to execute pivotal trials and commercial plans.

ROCK HILL, S.C., May 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 3D Systems Corporation (NYSE:DDD) announced today its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Q1 2026 revenue of $95.5 million increased 1% year-over-year, or 11% excluding the impact of divestitures, driven by strong performance in the Healthcare business and double‑digit growth across key markets, including Dental, Med Tech, and Aerospace & Defense.GAAP EPS loss narrowed to $(0.03), or $(0.01) on a non-GAAP basis, while Adjusted EBITDA improved to $2.1 million, reflecting the benefits of higher sales volumes and continued execution of cost reduction initiatives.Robust growth in Dental and Med Tech, each exceeding approximately 20% year-over-year, drove Healthcare to a scale that now rivals the Company's Industrial segment.Early success of recently launched products in Dental and Aerospace & Defense markets, including advanced printing systems for monolithic dentures and high‑performance metal components, is expected to support sustained long‑term revenue growth.Amid ongoing global risks, the Company remains focused on building top-line momentum in key markets over the coming quarters, while maintaining disciplined cost management to achieve our goal of full-year break-even Adjusted EBITDA. Summary of Financial Results
(Unaudited)

Dr. Jeffrey Graves, President and Chief Executive Officer of 3D Systems, said, “We are pleased with our first‑quarter performance on both the top and bottom line, which exceeded our initial expectations. Revenue growth was driven by strength in our key markets, including Dental, Med Tech, and Aerospace & Defense. These customers continue to rapidly adopt 3D printing as a core manufacturing technology and expand the range of applications they deploy. In the first quarter, this momentum drove growth rates of more than 20% in our Dental (excluding aligners), Med Tech, and Aerospace & Defense markets. This performance highlights the market‑leading breadth of our additive manufacturing portfolio, spanning direct metal printing and all five major polymer technologies, combined with our deep expertise in advanced applications.”

Dr. Graves concluded, “As the additive manufacturing industry begins to emerge from a multi‑year downturn, our sustained investments in research and development are enabling us to introduce a broad pipeline of new products that are gaining increasing customer traction. While the global economic environment remains uncertain, we are optimistic that, as capital investment activity strengthens, we are well positioned to benefit from the resulting expansion in global manufacturing capacity.”

“Adjusting for divestitures completed in 2025, total revenue increased 11% year over year, demonstrating a return of core revenue growth as we move into 2026” said Phyllis Nordstrom, Chief Financial Officer of 3D Systems. “Strong sales across key product areas, along with a focus on margin expansion, profitability, and efficient cost management, positively contributed to our performance in the quarter. We remain committed to managing costs while making targeted investments in our priority markets to drive profitable growth.”

First Quarter 2026 Results

Total revenue increased 1% to $95.5 million compared to the prior year period. Adjusting for software divestitures completed in 2025, including Geomagic, 3DXpert and Oqton, total revenue increased by 11%.

Healthcare Solutions revenue increased approximately 21% to $50.1 million compared to the prior year period.

Industrial Solutions revenue decreased approximately 15% to $45.4 million compared to the prior year period. Adjusting for divestitures, Industrial Solutions revenue increased 2% year over year.

Gross profit margin increased to 35.9% compared to 34.6% in the prior year period. Non-GAAP gross profit margin increased to 36.1% compared to 35.0% in the prior year period. Adjusting for software divestitures, non-GAAP gross profit margin increased by 600 basis points.

Net loss attributable to 3D Systems Corporation decreased by $32.6 million to $4.4 million compared to the prior year period. The improvement was primarily driven by lower operating expenses, higher sales volume, and favorable revenue mix.

Adjusted EBITDA turned positive, improving by $25.9 million to $2.1 million compared to the prior year period, driven by strong sales, favorable revenue mix, and the impact of prior cost reduction actions. Adjusting for software divestitures, Adjusted EBITDA improved $28.2 million.

Financial Liquidity

At March 31, 2026, the Company had total cash of $86.5 million, which included cash and cash equivalents of $85.1 million and restricted cash of $1.4 million. A total of $3.9 million in principal amount of debt is scheduled to mature in the fourth quarter of 2026, with the remaining $92.0 million principal maturing in 2030.

Second Quarter 2026 Outlook

Revenue:                                                 $93 - $95 million

Adjusted EBITDA:                                  ($4) million - ($2) million

3D Systems does not provide forward-looking guidance for certain measures on a GAAP basis. The Company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures without unreasonable effort because certain items, including litigation expenses, acquisition expenses, stock-based compensation expense, intangible amortization expense, restructuring expenses, and goodwill impairment, are difficult to predict and estimate. These items are inherently uncertain and depend on various factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, and as such, any associated estimate and its impact on GAAP performance could vary materially.

First Quarter 2026 Conference Call and Webcast

The Company will host a conference call and simultaneous webcast to discuss these results on May 12, 2026, which may be accessed as follows:

Date: Tuesday, May 12, 2026

Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures

Presentation of Information in this Press Release

3D Systems reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP. Management also reviews and reports certain non-GAAP measures, including: non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross profit margin, non-GAAP diluted income (loss) per share, non-GAAP operating expense and Adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP measures exclude certain items that management does not view as part of 3D Systems’ core results as they may be highly variable, may be unusual or infrequent, are difficult to predict and can distort underlying business trends and results. Management believes that the non-GAAP measures provide useful additional insight into underlying business trends and results and provide meaningful information regarding the comparison of period-over-period results. Additionally, management uses the non-GAAP measures for planning, forecasting and evaluating business and financial performance, including allocating resources and evaluating results relative to employee compensation targets. 3D Systems’ non-GAAP measures are not calculated in accordance with or as required by GAAP and may not be calculated in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures should thus be considered as supplemental in nature and not considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

To calculate the non-GAAP measures, 3D Systems excludes the impact of the following items:

amortization of intangible assets, a non-cash expense, as 3D Systems’ intangible assets were primarily acquired in connection with business combinations;costs incurred in connection with acquisitions and divestitures, such as legal, consulting and advisory fees;stock-based compensation expenses, a non-cash expense;charges related to restructuring and cost optimization plans, impairment charges, including goodwill, and divestiture gains or losses;the impact of software divestitures, which were previously included in our Industrial Solutions segment, for pre-divestiture periods in 2025; andcosts, including legal fees, related to significant or unusual litigation matters. Amortization of intangibles and acquisition and divestiture-related costs are excluded from non-GAAP measures as the timing and magnitude of business combination transactions are not predictable, can vary significantly from period to period and the purchase price allocated to amortizable intangible assets and the related amortization period are unique to each acquisition. Amortization of intangible assets will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. While intangible assets contribute to the company’s revenue generation, the amortization of intangible assets does not directly relate to the sale of the company’s products or services. Additionally, intangible assets amortization expense typically fluctuates based on the size and timing of the company’s acquisition activity. Accordingly, the company believes excluding the amortization of intangible assets enhances the company’s and investors’ ability to compare the company’s past financial performance with its current performance and to analyze underlying business performance and trends. Although stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to certain of our employees, the expense is non-cash in nature, and we continue to evaluate our business performance excluding stock-based compensation; therefore, it is excluded from non-GAAP measures. Stock-based compensation expenses will recur in future periods. Charges related to restructuring and cost optimization plans, impairment charges, including goodwill, divestiture gains or losses, and the costs, including legal fees, related to significant or unusual litigation matters are excluded from non-GAAP measures as the frequency and magnitude of these activities may vary widely from period to period. Additionally, impairment charges, including goodwill, are non-cash. Furthermore, the company believes the costs, including legal fees, related to significant or unusual litigation matters are not indicative of our core business' operations. Finally, 3D Systems excludes contingent consideration recorded as compensation expense related to the 2021 Volumetric acquisition from non-GAAP measures as management evaluates financial performance excluding this expense, which is viewed by management as similar to acquisition consideration.

The matters discussed above are tax effected, as applicable, in calculating non-GAAP diluted income (loss) per share.

Adjusted EBITDA, defined as net income, plus income tax (provision) benefit, interest and other income (expense), net, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, depreciation expense, and other non-GAAP adjustments, all as described above, is used by management to evaluate performance and helps measure financial performance period-over-period.

Furthermore, in this press release, 3D Systems reports certain non-GAAP financial measures further adjusted to remove the operating activity related to (i) Geomagic, which the Company divested on April 1, 2025, for $119.4 million in cash, and (ii) 3DXpert and Oqton, which the Company divested on October 31, 2025, for $3.3 million in cash plus a revenue-based royalty of up to $12.9 million (together with Geomagic, the "Software Divestitures"), for periods non-comparable on a year over year basis. The Company believes excluding non-comparable periods allows it to include the operating activity related to Software Divestitures only to the extent that results are comparable year over year.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is provided in the accompanying schedules.

Certain columns may not add due to the use of rounded numbers. Percentages presented are calculated from the underlying numbers in thousands.

3D Systems does not provide forward-looking guidance for certain measures on a GAAP basis. The Company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure without unreasonable effort because certain items, including litigation costs, acquisition expenses, stock-based compensation expense, intangible assets amortization expense, restructuring expenses, and goodwill impairment charges, are difficult to predict and estimate. These items are inherently uncertain and depend on various factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, and as such, any associated estimate and its impact on GAAP performance could vary materially.

Momentum investing revolves around the idea of following a stock's recent trend in either direction. In "long context," investors will be essentially be "buying high, but hoping to sell even higher." With this methodology, taking advantage of trends in a stock's price is key; once a stock establishes a course, it is more than likely to continue moving that way. The goal is that once a stock heads down a fixed path, it will lead to timely and profitable trades.

While many investors like to look for momentum in stocks, this can be very tough to define. There is a lot of debate surrounding which metrics are the best to focus on and which are poor quality indicators of future performance. The Zacks Momentum Style Score, part of the Zacks Style Scores, helps address this issue for us.

Below, we take a look at 3D Systems (DDD - Free Report) , a company that currently holds a Momentum Style Score of A. We also talk about price change and earnings estimate revisions, two of the main aspects of the Momentum Style Score.

It's also important to note that Style Scores work as a complement to the Zacks Rank, our stock rating system that has an impressive track record of outperformance. 3D Systems currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy). Our research shows that stocks rated Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and #2 (Buy) and Style Scores of "A or B" outperform the market over the following one-month period.

You can see the current list of Zacks #1 Rank Stocks here >>>

Set to Beat the Market?Let's discuss some of the components of the Momentum Style Score for DDD that show why this maker of 3D printers shows promise as a solid momentum pick.

Looking at a stock's short-term price activity is a great way to gauge if it has momentum, since this can reflect both the current interest in a stock and if buyers or sellers have the upper hand at the moment. It is also useful to compare a security to its industry, as this can help investors pinpoint the top companies in a particular area.

For DDD, shares are up 4.3% over the past week while the Zacks Commercial Printing industry is flat over the same time period. Shares are looking quite well from a longer time frame too, as the monthly price change of 63.89% compares favorably with the industry's 2.43% performance as well.

While any stock can see a spike in price, it takes a real winner to consistently outperform the market. Over the past quarter, shares of 3D Systems have risen 69.38%, and are up 125.48% in the last year. On the other hand, the S&P 500 has only moved 9.66% and 28.33%, respectively.

Investors should also pay attention to DDD's average 20-day trading volume. Volume is a useful item in many ways, and the 20-day average establishes a good price-to-volume baseline; a rising stock with above average volume is generally a bullish sign, whereas a declining stock on above average volume is typically bearish. DDD is currently averaging 5,066,604 shares for the last 20 days.

Earnings OutlookThe Zacks Momentum Style Score encompasses many things, including estimate revisions and a stock's price movement. Investors should note that earnings estimates are also significant to the Zacks Rank, and a nice path here can be promising. We have recently been noticing this with DDD.

Over the past two months, 2 earnings estimates moved higher compared to none lower for the full year. These revisions helped boost DDD's consensus estimate, increasing from -$0.30 to -$0.18 in the past 60 days. Looking at the next fiscal year, 1 estimate has moved upwards while there have been no downward revisions in the same time period.

Bottom LineTaking into account all of these elements, it should come as no surprise that DDD is a #2 (Buy) stock with a Momentum Score of A. If you've been searching for a fresh pick that's set to rise in the near-term, make sure to keep 3D Systems on your short list.

FTSE 100 rises 11 points to 10,443 Nvidia delivers blockbuster earnings overnight but shares down BT, QinetiQ, easyJet, M&B, AJ Bell and ConvaTec report this morning   5.15pm: Stocks little changed The FTSE 100 finished Thursday’s session up 11 points at 10,443, as investors weighed up conflicting geopolitical updates.

Across the Atlantic, a spike in oil prices saw the Nasdaq down 0.4%, the S&P 500 was down 0.3% and the Dow Jones was down 0.2%.   

4pm: FTSE inching higher as news filters from the wires The FTSE 100 has been searching for direction all day, with tentative moves higher and lower.

"Tape bombs" have been making investors nervous or optimistic depending on the news from the wires, says market analyst Chris Beauchamp at IG. 

With the US earnings season essentially now out of the way, "it is back to focusing on Iran for global markets, and today has illustrated the uncertainty of the situation perfectly.

"Stocks had been steady and oil prices had dropped, but then headlines suggested the Iranian supreme leader would not allow enriched uranium to leave Iran.

"Hopes of progress were shattered, at least it seemed that way. But later the headline was denied, leaving investors none the wiser.

"Weeks of this lie ahead, potentially months, but Hormuz remains closed, a ticking timebomb underneath the global economy."

While Iran might not be talking directly to the US, Tehran is reportedly discussing a permanent toll with Oman.  

Such a situation, "unthinkable a few weeks ago, is now perhaps the best option for the global economy," Beauchamp says.

"A slightly higher price for products exiting the strait is infinitely preferable to  the collapse of the global energy system, even if such a toll would represent a major failure for US policy."

On the FTSE 100 leaderboard, the mix of sectors moving, says Patrick Munnelly at Tickmill, "points to a market rewarding selective recovery and company-specific momentum rather than making a blanket call on UK domestic growth".

He says investors are willing to own UK names with identifiable catalysts "but are still cautious on sectors most exposed to politics, rates and consumer strain".

This is because "Westminster risk has not gone away", amidst a likely leadership challenge to Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s position.

This means the domestic equity story will be dogged by a political politcal discount for a while.

"For now, the FTSE can still grind higher on softer rate expectations, global earnings exposure and stock-specific upgrades — but a cleaner re-rating needs political stability, calmer energy markets and clearer evidence that the consumer is not rolling over," says Munnelly. 

3.23pm: US invests in domestic quantum chips  The Dow Jones was lifted into the green after a surge from IBM, jumping over 6% due to the White House supporting a new quantum chip manufacturing venture with $1 billion of funding.

Howard Lutnick's Department of Commerce has signed a letter of intent to back the creation of Anderon, a standalone company that will build what it described as America’s first “pure-play quantum foundry”. IBM will match the government funding with its $1 billion cash investment.

The agreement is part of the US CHIPS programme, which aims to expand domestic semiconductor manufacturing and reduce reliance on overseas supply chains.

2.50pm: Wall Street opens in red Wall Street stocks have opened slightly lower, despite a small gain for Nvidia. 

The Nasdaq has started with a fall of 0.6%, while the Dow Jones has dropped 0.2%, and the S&P 500 0.3%. 

Biggest fallers on the Nasdaq were Intuit, Workday, Atlassian, Adobe and Autodesk as investors rotated out of higher-growth software stocks.

Intel also fell after recent gains, while Walmart was among the weaker blue-chip performers despite its more defensive profile.

Nvidia rose 0.5%, with Tesla and Micro other big-tech gainers.

2.23pm: StanChart asked to explain AI remarks Regulators in Hong Kong and Singapore have asked Standard Chartered for more information after CEO Bill Winters said ​the Asia-focused lender plans to replace "lower-value human capital" with ‌AI.

This is a Bloomberg report, which says the company was asked ​to explain the remarks by the two monetary authorities, including the ⁠impact of job cuts in their local markets.

Hong ​Kong officials asked whether StanChart was using AI as a pretext to ​cut staff, with Stan Chart having said this week that it is looking to axe over 7,000 jobs over the next four years.

1.50pm: Not just any results, these are M&S results Marks and Spencer's strong finish to the 2026 financial year has reinforced confidence in the retailer’s turnaround story, with analysts at two investment bank today arguing the group still has scope for further upgrades despite a cautious outlook.

Deutsche Bank said the chain's results yesterday showed it had exited the year “more strongly than we anticipated”, supporting its view that the business was “back on track” with improving sales growth and recovering margins driven by cost efficiencies.

UBS was similarly upbeat, describing M&S as “the best turnaround in UK retail” and saying recent trading had “reinvigorated the growth narrative”.

1.04pm: Wall Street and Nvidia US stock futures are back in the red again, with Nvidia roughly flat in premarket trading. 

Dow Jones futures are down 0.15%, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq seen falling 0.3% and 0.45%. 

There's a rebound in US oil prices and government borrowing costs at the heart of this small retreat.

WTI crude, having fallen from almost $108 earlier in the week to below $98 overnight, is now back above $100 a barrel. 

US 10yr Treasury note yields are also up above 4.6% and the dollar index is up 0.1%.

This is "amid struggling US negotiations with Iran to end the war", says analyst John Canavan at Oxford Economics. 

"This week’s data calendar has been slow so far but will pick up with the release of the weekly jobless claims figures, the May Philadelphia Fed manufacturing index, and April housing starts reports just after the open, followed by the May S&P Global services and manufacturing figures just ahead of mid-morning. The Treasury will hold a $19bn 10-year TIPS reopening auction this afternoon."

Nvidia shares are down 0.2%. 

CEO Jensen Huang "crushed it, beating every measure (substantially)", says market analyst Kenny Polcari at Slatestone Wealth, with revenue up 85% and EPS coming in at $1.87 versus $1.77 expected, with guidance for next quarter landed at $91 billion — again ahead of estimates.

"Demand has gone parabolic," Huang said, as "agentic AI has arrived."

There was virtually no reaction in the afterhours session, which Polcari says "is the story this morning", despite "another monster quarter" as "extraordinary has become the expectation".

"When a company delivers one of the greatest earnings runs in market history and the stock barely moves, the market is telling you something. Expectations are stretched. Positioning is crowded. Perfection has already been priced in."

12.30pm: Huge IPOs to spark scramble for cash Deutsche Bank has noted that OpenAI's planned $60 billion initial public offering would be more than double the size of Saudi Aramco's record-setting 2019 listing and on its own would nearly match the total amount raised by all US IPOs at the height of the dot-com boom, also not far short of the $65 billion raised across all US IPOs in both 1999 and 2000, and the $62 billion raised in 2020, and would represent half of the record-breaking $119 billion raised in 2021.

With SpaceX aiming to raise around $75 billion this year and Claud developer Anthropic targeting an IPO as soon as October, with reports suggesting it too may seek to raise more than $60 billion, thematic strategist Adrian Cox acknowledges concerns about the capacity of the market to absorb several hundred billion dollars of IPO issuance in a single year. 

"There will be a scramble to make the most of investor appetite for direct exposure to pure-play AI companies in the public markets," he says.

But Cox notes that the US stock market is now worth approximately $70 trillion, five times larger in nominal terms than at the peak of the dot-com bubble.

Recent signs suggest appetite remains robust: AI chipmaker Cerebras raised $6.4 billion last week in the largest IPO of 2026 so far, with its shares jumping by two-thirds on the first day of trading to give it a market value of roughly $67 billion.

11.49am: Oil price rebound hits Footsie The FTSE has dropped fairly sharply back into the red. 

Autotrader and ConvaTec, down 8.4% and 7.4% are leading the decline. BT Group and Sage are a bit behind, down 3.3% and 2.7%.

All four published numbers today, but apart from the gloomy outlook from Autotrader, none of the results were that bad, but seem to be in the sort of 'shoot the messenger role' of being in the headlines. 

Whitbread is down 3.2%, not helped as UBS put out a note warning investors face a “catalyst light” period for the Premier Inn owner.

The drop for the FTSE mirrors a rise in oil prices, with Brent crude futures up 2.1% to $107 a barrel again. 

US stock futures are flat, with analyst Derren Nathan at Hargreaves Lansdown noting that this is a recovery from declines earlier in the day.

"All the major indices closed up more than 1% yesterday after three consecutive sessions of losses, helped by easing oil prices and expectations of strong quarterly results from the world’s most valuable company NVIDIA. Both numbers and guidance eclipsed expectations but as is so often the case traders took some profits in after-hours, only to recover in today’s pre-market trading."

11.12am: CBI survey adds more gloomy May data The CBI Industrial Trends Survey total orders balance fell to -41 in May, from -38 in April, below the consensus forecast of -40.

In seasonally-adjusted terms, the balance fell to -42, from -36 in April.

Output volumes fell in the three months to May, with manufacturers also expecting output volumes to fall again in the three months to August.

Expectations for selling price inflation picked up in May, for the second consecutive month, to stand at their highest since February 2023.

Total order books were reported as the weakest since September 2020. The volume of export orders was also seen as below “normal” and well below the long-run average.

Stocks of finished goods were reported as adequate in May, but the balance stood below its long-run average.

Senior economist Cameron Martin says the Iran conflict "is feeding through to higher energy costs and renewed supply chain disruption, adding another layer of challenges for manufacturers".

10.39am: FTSE indices in green The FTSE 100 has hustled and bustled its way into positive territory, led by financials, defence and retail. 

Online broker IG Group is top of the list, with ICG and St James's Place in the top ten, possibly due to bonds and read-across to the surge at AJ Bell on the back of results.

Babcock, JD Sports and 3i Group are also all up 2% or more. 

Scottish Mortgage, a big shareholder in SpaceX, is up 2% as the rocket company published its prospectus overnight.

London's mid-caps are further in the green, up 167 points or 0.7% at 23,005, which looks like the highest in over a month. 

AJ Bell is up 13.6%, QinetiQ 10.4% and Investec 5.2% at the top there. 

Looking at QinetiQ, Peel Hunt analyst Andrew Humphrey says the results showed stronger-than-expected margins, earnings and cash generation despite slightly weaker revenue.

"While slightly weaker than consensus forecasts at the profit level, we expect any negative sentiment to be offset by the big dividend increase and extension of the buyback programme."

9.51am: UK economy sent into reverse "The UK economy is facing a perfect storm," says Chris Williamson, chief business economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence on the flash PMI numbers, "as rising political uncertainty adds to the growing impact from the war in the Middle East.

May PMI data indicate that the economy contracted at a 0.2% quarterly rate, he says, a U-turn from the growth in the first quarter.

The survey found businesses reporting falling output, surging inflation, supply shortages and job cuts in the first half of May.

"The blame lies first and foremost with the war in the Middle East, though companies are also noting that domestic politics are taking an increasing toll, driving uncertainty higher, in turn deterring spending, hiring and investment," Williamson says.

"Things could well get worse in the coming months, as we have been seeing some support to manufacturing from precautionary stock building which will inevitably fade once warehouses are full.

"Just as the economy shows signs of sinking into decline, prices are surging higher to herald a marked upturn in inflation in the months ahead as these costs pass through to consumers.

"This combination of a faltering economy and spiking price pressures leaves the Bank of England in a major quandary, facing the growing need to hike rates to help contain inflation but thereby adding to recession risks.”

9.40am: Flash PMI worse than expected UK private sector output fell in May for first time in over a year due to a downturn in the service economy, according to the 'flash' PMI release just out. 

The preliminary reading of the UK services purchasing managers' index for May fell to 47.9 from 52.7 the month before. A 64-month low and well below the forecast 51.7.

The flash UK manufacturing index was unchanged at 53.7, while the manufacturing output index rose to a three-month high of 52.4, up from 51.8. 

9.27am: FTSE paddling After almost an hour and a half of trading, the FTSE is paddling just below the waterline, while most mainland European stock indices are marginally in the green.

Germany's DAX is up 0.3%, but the benchmarks for Paris and Milan are up 0.1%, with Madrid's IBEX a bit flatter.

The Euro Stoxx 600 is up 0.2%, with top risers being QinetiQ and German sector peer Hensoldt, followed by Investec, which has gained 4.7% after releasing annual results.

Pressure from the bond market has continued to ease, with the UK 10-year gilt now down below 5% and US and other government borrowing costs retreating too. 

This largely reflects rising optimism that the US and Iran might reach a deal, which boosted markets yesterday.

President Trump said that the US was in the “final stages” for a possible draft deal to end the conflict, which Iranian agencies confirming that Tehran was reviewing a new draft sent in response to its own 14-point proposal.

Axios reported that Trump and Israel’s Netanyahu had a tense call on Tuesday over a new peace proposal drafted by Qatar and Pakistan.

Brent crude fell below $105 a barrel in the past half hour, but has rebounded to $105.5.

9.03am: M&B falls to 1yr low Mitchells & Butlers PLC (LSE:MAB) shares fell 8.7% after the pub and restaurant group reported flat underlying profits for the first half due to cost inflation, while sales growth slowed.

Current trading has moderated, Anna Barnfather at Panmure notes, down from 4.5% in the first quarter to 1.8% in the second, and the most recent three weeks at 1.1%, reflecting tougher weather-led comparatives, macro pressure on discretionary spend and some tube-strike disruption.

She calls it a "resilient" performance, and notes that industry data shows the LFL growth is ahead of the market. 

The shares are down 8.2% today and 12.4% so far this year, with Barnfather noting that they now trade at a 7.6x PE, "the bottom of the pub sector range" for a valuation that "looks undemanding given M&B is still taking share, deleveraging and investing at attractive returns, with LFL moderation offset by additional cost mitigation". 

8.36am: ConvaTec 'reassuring' ConvaTec's announcement, given the share price weakness in recent months, needed to be reassuring, says Panmure Liberum analyst Seb Jantet. 

"And that is what ConvaTec delivered." However, the shares fell 2.5% still, down around 13% in the year so far. 

He says revenue growth "looks to be in line with expectations" and full-year guidance is unchanged.

"The new news in the statement is that ConvaTec has signed a patch pump supply agreement in IC, which will give it access to the fast-growing patch pump market."

Analysts at Stifel also saw it as "a positive start to 2026", adding that margin guidance was maintained "despite concerns around potential for [cost of goods sold] inflationary headwinds, we expect a relief rally after recent share weakness, which has presented an attractive entry point".

8.15am: FTSE 100 opens lower The FTSE 100 has opened down 40 points at just under 10,393.

Precious metals and copper miners are dragging, but ConvaTec is the biggest faller, down 3.7%.

It being Thurssday, there are some stocks going ex-dividend, with Shell by far the biggest contributor, accounting for 6.84 points of the adjustment, followed by Imperial Brands, Bunzl, Whitbread and Tritax Big Box.

On the FTSE 250, Mitchells & Butlers leads the losses, down 7.9% on its interim results. 

8am: Qinetiq eyes more shareholder returns QinetiQ Group PLC has hiked its dividend 24% and added £200 million to extend its share buyback programme after its biggest year for order intake.

The FTSE 250 defence contractor reported underlying operating profit up 18% to £218 million for the year to March, as operating margins improved to 11.3% from 9.6% following restructuring and cost-cutting measures.

Revenue was broadly flat at £1.92 billion, though organic growth was 1.3%.

After free cash flow rose 41% to £159 million, CEO Steve Wadey said the board is targeting more than £550 million in free cash flow across the 2027-2029 financial years, leading to around £500 million of dividends and share buybacks.

7.51am: easyjet posts wider H1 loss Budget airline easyJet posted a wider first-half loss as the Iran war led to higher fuel costs and reduced visibility into summer bookings, offsetting improvements in passenger numbers and its holidays business.

A pre-tax loss of £552 million for the half-year to March, compared with a £394 million loss a year earlier.

It said forward bookings have slowed since the escalation in Middle East tensions, with customers booking closer to departure dates than normal.

Chief executive Kenton Jarvis says the airline was “well placed to manage the current environment” despite near-term uncertainty linked to the Middle East conflict, supported by "one of the strongest investment‑grade balance sheets in European aviation".

7.32am: BT profits flat, but dividend policy upgraded BT has, alongside its annual results, upgraded its dividend policy and reiterated targets for sharply higher cash generation over the next four years as it expects cost savings and lower capital spending to drive stronger shareholder returns.

The telecoms group saw adjusted revenue fall 4% to £19.6 billion, which was just short of the City consensus forecast of £19.68 billion.

Adjusted EBITDA was flat at £8.2 billion, in line with expectations.

Chief executive Allison Kirkby said the group was “transforming ahead of plan” and reiterated guidance for normalised free cash flow to rise to about £2 billion in the 2027 financial year, with adjusted EBITDA growth flat or slightly higher at £8.2-8.3 billion.

7.17am: FTSE 100 set to start lower, Nvidia drops afterhours The FTSE 100 is set for a frugal start on Thursday after a prosperous previous day on both sides of the Atlantic.

London's blue-chip index has been called 20 points lower on the futures market, chipping away at the gain of almost 102 points made yesterday when it closed at 10,432.34.

There was a bigger bounce in New York overnight, with all three major indexes snapping a three-day losing streak as investors welcomed softer Treasury yields and a sharp drop in oil prices.

The tech-powered Nasdaq led the way, striding 1.5% higher, with the Dow Jones climbing 1.3% and the S&P 500 1.1%.

After the closing bell, Nvidia delivered another blockbuster quarter of earnings and $80 billion of buybacks, but saw its shares fall 1.3% in afterhours trade. with investors difficult to impress after the recent years of breakneck growth from the chip heavyweight.

"It was a garden variety beat – a better than expected top and bottom line with guidance above the Street estimate – and one that was well telegraphed following the very strong results from AI-hyperscalers earlier in the earnings season," says market analyst Kyle Rodda at Capital.com. 

Ipek Ozkardeskaya at Swissquote says: "Some blamed the May-to-July outlook for not being strong enough. Others pointed to confusion around Nvidia’s new reporting structure. But honestly, this looked more like simple profit-taking after an enormous rally than lack of conviction."

FTSE 100 rises 11 points to 10,443 Nvidia delivers blockbuster earnings overnight but shares down BT, QinetiQ, easyJet, M&B, AJ Bell and ConvaTec report this morning   5.15pm: Stocks little changed The FTSE 100 finished Thursday’s session up 11 points at 10,443, as investors weighed up conflicting geopolitical updates.

Across the Atlantic, a spike in oil prices saw the Nasdaq down 0.4%, the S&P 500 was down 0.3% and the Dow Jones was down 0.2%.   

4pm: FTSE inching higher as news filters from the wires The FTSE 100 has been searching for direction all day, with tentative moves higher and lower.

"Tape bombs" have been making investors nervous or optimistic depending on the news from the wires, says market analyst Chris Beauchamp at IG. 

With the US earnings season essentially now out of the way, "it is back to focusing on Iran for global markets, and today has illustrated the uncertainty of the situation perfectly.

"Stocks had been steady and oil prices had dropped, but then headlines suggested the Iranian supreme leader would not allow enriched uranium to leave Iran.

"Hopes of progress were shattered, at least it seemed that way. But later the headline was denied, leaving investors none the wiser.

"Weeks of this lie ahead, potentially months, but Hormuz remains closed, a ticking timebomb underneath the global economy."

While Iran might not be talking directly to the US, Tehran is reportedly discussing a permanent toll with Oman.  

Such a situation, "unthinkable a few weeks ago, is now perhaps the best option for the global economy," Beauchamp says.

"A slightly higher price for products exiting the strait is infinitely preferable to  the collapse of the global energy system, even if such a toll would represent a major failure for US policy."

On the FTSE 100 leaderboard, the mix of sectors moving, says Patrick Munnelly at Tickmill, "points to a market rewarding selective recovery and company-specific momentum rather than making a blanket call on UK domestic growth".

He says investors are willing to own UK names with identifiable catalysts "but are still cautious on sectors most exposed to politics, rates and consumer strain".

This is because "Westminster risk has not gone away", amidst a likely leadership challenge to Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s position.

This means the domestic equity story will be dogged by a political politcal discount for a while.

"For now, the FTSE can still grind higher on softer rate expectations, global earnings exposure and stock-specific upgrades — but a cleaner re-rating needs political stability, calmer energy markets and clearer evidence that the consumer is not rolling over," says Munnelly. 

3.23pm: US invests in domestic quantum chips  The Dow Jones was lifted into the green after a surge from IBM, jumping over 6% due to the White House supporting a new quantum chip manufacturing venture with $1 billion of funding.

Howard Lutnick's Department of Commerce has signed a letter of intent to back the creation of Anderon, a standalone company that will build what it described as America’s first “pure-play quantum foundry”. IBM will match the government funding with its $1 billion cash investment.

Current trading has moderated, Anna Barnfather at Panmure notes, down from 4.5% in the first quarter to 1.8% in the second, and the most recent three weeks at 1.1%, reflecting tougher weather-led comparatives, macro pressure on discretionary spend and some tube-strike disruption.

She calls it a "resilient" performance, and notes that industry data shows the LFL growth is ahead of the market. 

The shares are down 8.2% today and 12.4% so far this year, with Barnfather noting that they now trade at a 7.6x PE, "the bottom of the pub sector range" for a valuation that "looks undemanding given M&B is still taking share, deleveraging and investing at attractive returns, with LFL moderation offset by additional cost mitigation". 

8.36am: ConvaTec 'reassuring' ConvaTec's announcement, given the share price weakness in recent months, needed to be reassuring, says Panmure Liberum analyst Seb Jantet. 

"And that is what ConvaTec delivered." However, the shares fell 2.5% still, down around 13% in the year so far. 

He says revenue growth "looks to be in line with expectations" and full-year guidance is unchanged.

"The new news in the statement is that ConvaTec has signed a patch pump supply agreement in IC, which will give it access to the fast-growing patch pump market."

Analysts at Stifel also saw it as "a positive start to 2026", adding that margin guidance was maintained "despite concerns around potential for [cost of goods sold] inflationary headwinds, we expect a relief rally after recent share weakness, which has presented an attractive entry point".

The telecoms group saw adjusted revenue fall 4% to £19.6 billion, which was just short of the City consensus forecast of £19.68 billion.

Adjusted EBITDA was flat at £8.2 billion, in line with expectations.

The tech-powered Nasdaq led the way, striding 1.5% higher, with the Dow Jones climbing 1.3% and the S&P 500 1.1%.

After the closing bell, Nvidia delivered another blockbuster quarter of earnings and $80 billion of buybacks, but saw its shares fall 1.3% in afterhours trade. with investors difficult to impress after the recent years of breakneck growth from the chip heavyweight.

Ipek Ozkardeskaya at Swissquote says: "Some blamed the May-to-July outlook for not being strong enough. Others pointed to confusion around Nvidia’s new reporting structure. But honestly, this looked more like simple profit-taking after an enormous rally than lack of conviction."

Lithium Americas is developing three lithium production assets, two brine resources located in northwestern Argentina and a clay resource in Nevada, U.S. While the company has no current lithium production, we expect the first Argentina resource, Cauchari-Olaroz, to enter production in late 2022. We expect the Nevada project, Thacker Pass, to enter production in the middle of the 2020s and the second brine resource, Pastos Grandes, to enter production in the late-2020s. Lithium Americas plans for all three resources to be fully integrated, selling into the lithium chemical market.
