Multiple law firms have initiated a class action against 3D Systems Corporation and certain company officers over alleged securities fraud (misleading investors about financial information). Law firms like Pomerantz LLP, The Gross Law Firm, Rosen Law Firm and multiple others have filed separate legal actions on behalf of shareholders who purchased 3D Systems securities between August 13, 2024, and May 12, 2025. They are seeking damages for violations of federal securities laws. The lawsuits claim that the company understated the impact of weakened customer spending whilst overstating how well it was handling tough industry conditions.
The class action stems from poor financial results that caused big stock price drops and missed analyst expectations across multiple quarters. The Pomerantz lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware under case number 25-cv-00734. It seeks to recover damages under federal securities laws. Shareholders have until August 12, 2025, to seek appointment as lead plaintiff (the main person representing all affected investors) in the litigation.
Class Action Against 3D Systems Alleges Misleading Business Information
The class action against 3D Systems claims that company leaders issued false and misleading statements during the class period. They allegedly failed to properly tell investors about several critical business problems. According to the complaint, 3D Systems understated how much weakened customer spending was hurting the company’s business. At the same time, they overstated how well the company was handling tough industry conditions. The lawsuit also claims that changes in the partnership with United Therapeutics Corporation would hurt the company’s regenerative medicine programme revenue (money from medical treatments using the body’s own cells).
These claims became stronger after a series of poor financial announcements that caused big stock price drops. On March 26, 2025, 3D Systems reported fourth quarter and full-year 2024 results that missed what analysts expected across key measures. The company reported Q4 non-GAAP earnings per share (adjusted profit per share) of -$0.19, missing analyst estimates by $0.08 per share. Sales revenue was $111 million, down 3.4% from the previous year and missing estimates by $4.17 million. The company also reported a 21% drop in Healthcare revenue, largely due to accounting changes in its Regenerative Medicine programme.
Things got worse in May 2025 when 3D Systems released first quarter results that badly missed analyst expectations. The company reported revenue of $94.5 million, down 8% from the previous year and missing estimates of $99.5 million. Net losses (total money lost) reached $37 million, or $0.28 per share. This was more than double the $16 million loss from Q1 2024. The adjusted loss of $0.21 per share was worse than the estimated $0.14 loss. Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation) showed a loss of $23.9 million, worse than the $20.1 million loss in Q1 2024.
3D Systems blamed its poor results mainly on fewer material sales. This was mostly due to inventory management problems in the dental part of its Healthcare Solutions segment. The company said it was withdrawing its full-year 2025 outlook (predictions for the year). They cited ongoing weakness in customer capital spending and economic uncertainty. After this announcement, 3D Systems’ stock price fell $0.68 per share, or 26.6%, to close at $1.87 per share on May 13, 2025.
Legal Actions Seek Money Back for Shareholders After Stock Losses
Market analysts responded negatively to the company’s worsening financial performance. Several expressed doubt about 3D Systems’ ability to return to making money. On May 14, 2025, an analyst from Seeking Alpha said he was “sceptical that [3D Systems] can transition to profitability in the near term.” He suggested that “even after a significant price drop, the stock isn’t a bargain given shrinking revenues, lack of profitability, and low investor interest in the sector.”
The Gross Law Firm has set up a portfolio monitoring system for affected shareholders. This provides status updates throughout the court case. The firm says there is no cost or obligation for shareholders to participate in the class action. The goal is to recover damages (money back) for investors who lost money due to allegedly false statements that artificially inflated (raised) the company’s stock price.
Pomerantz LLP was founded by Abraham L. Pomerantz, who is recognised as a pioneer in securities class actions (group lawsuits against companies for misleading investors). The firm brings extensive experience in corporate litigation (business court cases) to this case. The firm operates offices in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, London, Paris, and Tel Aviv. It has recovered numerous multimillion-dollar damages awards on behalf of class members over its 85-year history.
The class action against 3D Systems shows broader challenges facing the 3D printing industry. The industry has experienced significant problems from reduced customer spending and economic uncertainty. The claims suggest that company management may have failed to properly tell investors about these challenges. This potentially misled shareholders about the company’s true financial condition and business prospects.
Eligible shareholders who purchased 3D Systems securities during the class period should contact the law firms handling the case. The Gross Law Firm can be reached through their online portal or by phone at (646) 453-8903. Pomerantz LLP has designated Danielle Peyton as the contact person at dpeyton@pomlaw.com or 646-581-9980, ext. 7980. Both firms stress the importance of acting before the August 12, 2025 deadline for lead plaintiff appointment.
The outcome of this court case could have big implications for 3D Systems and its shareholders. This is particularly true given the company’s ongoing financial challenges and uncertain industry outlook. The case highlights the importance of accurate financial disclosure (telling the truth about company finances) in maintaining investor confidence. It also shows the potential legal consequences when companies allegedly fail to meet these obligations.
