Every quarter, public companies drop their earnings reports—a financial report card that can make or break stock prices in an instant. But unless you speak fluent Wall Street, these reports can feel like they're written in another language. Today, we're translating. Nicole breaks down what an earnings report actually is, why it matters, and how to read between the lines of those buttoned-up earnings calls. And to help make sense of what this earnings season is revealing about the economy at large, Nicole calls in Tim Seymour—investor, founder of Seymour Asset Management, and CNBC's Fast Money regular. They unpack the top takeaways from this quarter's biggest earnings, what stories are flying under the radar, and where the smart money is moving right now. Plus, Tim shares which stocks he's bullish and bearish on. Follow Tim's work here. Find Tim's investing disclosures here. All investing involves the risk of loss, including loss of principal.

Retrades are when a buyer or investor tries to renegotiate the valuation price or key terms after a deal is agreed—and it's always to the founder's disadvantage. It's one of the most frustrating risks in M&A, often surfacing late in the process, when founders have already invested significant time, energy, and focus into a buyer. In this episode, Managing Directors Mike Lyon and Jeff Koons break down why retrades happen, what they look like in practice, and most importantly, how founders can help guard against them.Securities offered through Vista Point Advisors, member FINRA/SIPC.

There is a lot of “common knowledge” in life that may or may not be right for you.  In this episode of Financial Clarity for Doctors, Rachelle Vanderzanden and Corey Janoff debunk some financial planning myths that simply don't hold true for most people any longer.  As always, you should take the specifics of your situation into consideration when making any financial decisions. “Myths” discussed include: You can set up a financial plan once and then call it good! All debt is bad. Renting is a waste of money. Social security will go bankrupt (and there will be no remaining benefits) by the time you retire. The goal of investing is to get the best returns. And so many more! As we start feeling a little more comfortable talking about money, we can learn a lot from the people and resources around us!  But we can also gather information that is incorrect or just isn't appropriate for your own plan.  Take a little time to make decisions (especially big ones) with your personal goals and information in mind and don't rely on “common knowledge”.  Listen to the full episode to learn more! For more financial planning tips from Corey and Rachelle, you can reach out to them at podcast@thefinitygroup.com. They would love to hear your questions and ideas for upcoming episodes. Discussions in this show should not be construed as specific recommendations or investment advice. Always consult with your investment professional before making important investment decisions.

Printing Money is back with Episode 30, and it's that quarterly time, so we are happy and thankful to welcome back Troy Jensen (Managing Director, Cantor Fitzgerald) to review the Q1 2025 3DP/AM public market earnings. Public market valuations are based on forward looking earnings, but the reporting calendar means we recorded this “Q1 2025” episode on the very last day of Q2.  That is to say, we are looking back as fast as possible in order to look forward. Danny and Troy start off by ruminating on the lack of 3DP/AM participation in a seemingly general public market momentum.  Tariffs and interest rates play their roles, still it is incumbent upon the 3DP/AM industry to find its footing. Next, Danny and Troy dive into the Q1 2025 public market earnings.  What of Stratasys and its new cash stockpile?  Can 3D Systems engineer a financial turnaround?  What is the path ahead for Nano Dimension under a new CEO?  Does Q1 2025 show that Materialise's Q4 2024 disappointment was just an outlier? From here, Danny and Troy turn to some private market players, in part because there are not as many relevant pubic pure-plays nowadays, but also because these privates are significant and can have impacts on the public market players' performance. The conversation transitions to some green shoot success stories and last, a quick a look ahead at Q2, which of course has already happened… Please enjoy Episode 30 and check out our previous episodes too. This episode was recorded June 30, 2025. Timestamps: 00:12 – Welcome to Episode 30 and welcome back to Troy Jensen (Cantor Fitzgerald) 00:45 – The public markets have come back, but not so for 3DP/AM stocks 01:30 – Little to no institutional interest, lack of profitability, not enough growth 02:41 – AI and other hot tech moves fast, 3DP/AM moves slow 03:03 – Tariff impact to capital equipment buying decisions 04:15 – Interest rates impact to capital equipment buying decisions 05:55 – Regional performance of metal AM (source: AMPOWER) 07:19 – Stratasys (SSYS) Q1 2025 earnings review 09:18 – Stratasys acquires BASF spinout Forward AM, others next? 14:03 – 3D Systems (DDD) Q1 earnings review 17:25 – 3D Systems' business with Align Technologies (ALGN) 19:35 – Healthcare 3DP/AM strong: 3D Systems (ex-Align) and Materialise (MTLS) 20:40 – Nano Dimension (NNDM) Q1 2025 earnings 21:36 – What is coming of Desktop Metal? 22:45 – Ofir Baharav and the Nano Dimension vision 23:45 – (Speculation only) DDD and NNDM, a synergistic match? 25:47 – Materialise (MTLS) Q1 2025 earnings 28:41 – Formlabs business overview 29:47 – Bambu Lab business overview 30:05 – Nikon SLM Solutions (Nikon - 7731:JP), EOS, Velo3D (VLDX) business overviews 30:31 – Green shoots: 3DP/AM services for Aerospace/Defense 31:14 – LPBF for production: Incodema and I3D 33:15 – Wag the dog: 3DP/AM materials are entrenching into the supply chain 34:37 – Q2 2025 look ahead (considering it's already Q3…) 35:33 – Thank you to Troy and thank you for listening Disclaimer: This content is for informational purposes only, you should not construe any such information or other material as legal, tax, investment, financial, or other advice.
