Stratasys announced the PolyJet J850 Core platform, a new 3‑D printing system designed to speed the move from prototyping to production‑grade parts in industrial and medical applications.
The launch is part of a broader strategy to shift the company’s revenue mix toward manufacturing, which accounted for 37.5 % of total revenue in 2025, up from 36 % in 2024. The platform’s expanded material options and software capabilities are intended to increase consumable usage and recurring revenue streams.
In its most recent earnings, Stratasys reported Q4 2025 revenue of $140 million, a 6.9 % decline year‑over‑year, and a non‑GAAP EPS of $0.07 versus analyst expectations of $0.02. GAAP gross margin fell to 36.8 % from 46.3 % in the same quarter last year, while non‑GAAP gross margin was 46.3 % compared with 49.6 % previously. The company guided 2026 revenue to $565 million–$575 million and a GAAP net loss of $83 million to $67 million.
CEO Dr. Yoav Zeif highlighted operational discipline and margin protection, noting that manufacturing revenue grew to 37.5 % of total in 2025 and that the company expects this percentage to continue rising, driving higher consumable utilization and improved margins. He also emphasized durable opportunities in aerospace, automotive, dental, and medical sectors and announced a partnership with Airbus that produced over 25,000 flight‑ready parts in 2025, bringing the total certified Stratasys parts in active service at Airbus to more than 200,000.
Investors reacted with caution after the earnings release, citing the revenue miss and margin compression as key concerns. The market’s focus on these headwinds underscores the importance of the new platform’s ability to deliver higher‑margin production parts and support the company’s strategic shift toward manufacturing.
The PolyJet J850 Core platform is expected to accelerate production workflows and capture a larger share of the high‑margin additive manufacturing market, which is projected to exceed $100 billion by 2032. However, ongoing margin pressure and revenue decline remain headwinds that the company must address as it rolls out the new platform and expands its manufacturing footprint.
