Why 3D Systems Stock Jumped 12% This Week

Shares of 3D printer-maker 3D Systems (NYSE: DDD) stock surged 21.5% on Tuesday in response to a boffo earnings report for fiscal second quarter 2021. The stock has given back some of those gains in the days since; as of 12:05 p.m. EDT Friday, for example, the increase in price from last week's Friday close is closer to 12.4%.

But was the earnings report good enough to justify even this gain? And more importantly, where does 3D Systems stock go from here?
