On CAPS, 95% of the 1,147 members who have rated Stratasys believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.
Late last month, one of those Fools, lavistock, succinctly summed up the bull case for our community: "Stratasys is positioning itself across the board as a leader -- in enterprise sales as well as in consumer sales (with the recent acquisition of MakerBot). The market may be big enough for more 2 strong players (3D Systems & Stratasys) and in the near term (5 years) they will surely compete and grow as this market embraces 3D printing."
