Hello,

I have been researching the company DDD and I have encountered a difference with the EPS data. Some websites and my broker say the company eraned 0.06 EPS for the quarter.

But Morningstar and the SEC Fillings show -0.08 diluted EPS.

What might be the difference? I didnt find any 0.06 in the las 10Q

After making then subsequently losing a ton of money on DDD, I refuse to look at their filings.

GAAP EPS = -$0.08

Adjusted EPS = $0.06

EPS Adjustments:

  1. For the quarter ended June 30, 2018, the adjustment included $0.1 in COGS and $14.4 in SG&A.

  2. For the quarter ended June 30, 2018, the adjustment included ($0.4) in SG&A.

  3. For the quarter ended June 30, 2018, the adjustment included $0.2 in COGS, $0.7 in SG&A and $0.1 in R&D

I got in four 3D printing stocks about 2/3rds of the way up the rally back in the day. One of them still paid me out pretty well, a Swedish company I forget the ticker of. The other three crashed and burned. Between the four I think I lost about 30% of my initial position.

Thank god I’m not making the same mistake twice with my bundle of marijuana stocks.

Thanks.

And do you know why so many sites are siting the adjusted and not de GAAP EPS?

Because people like non-GAAP measures since they look better
