Stratasys Earnings Preview: What to Watch on Wednesday

Stratasys Ltd. (NASDAQ: SSYS) is slated to report its second-quarter 2017 earnings before the market opens on Wednesday, August 9.

Stratasys stock is considerably outperforming the market in 2017: It's up 36.6% through August 7, versus the S&P 500's 12.1% return. Given this strong performance, the market could be primed to pummel the stock if the company posts weaker-than-expected earnings and/or lowers its full-year 2017 guidance. Last week, investors beat rival 3D Systems (NYSE: DDD) stock down 21% after it turned in worse-than-expected quarterly results and pared back its 2017 outlook.
