Formlabs, a Massachusetts-based manufacturer of 3D printing systems, is in preliminary discussions with potential advisers about a possible initial public offering, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The company could seek to raise approximately $500 million through the offering, although no final decision has been made and the size, timing and structure of the IPO could still change.
Formlabs was valued at around $2 billion in a 2021 financing round led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2, highlighting the company’s growth and investor interest in the industrial 3D-printing market. The company develops 3D printers, materials and related manufacturing solutions for commercial and industrial customers, serving applications such as prototyping, product development and production.
If pursued, the IPO would give Formlabs access to public-market capital to potentially support expansion, product development and manufacturing capacity.

$NTLA looking at this stock, the question is: is someone trying to snipe Cathie Wood the way they did Leopold? Shorts and hedgies running down the lists of outsized speculative positions trying to exert pressure to get them to fold, and then stepping in to buy the individual stocks (or an entire fund) is not unprecedented. It has just reared its head again. Think maybe they tried to do the same thing w/$SFTBY a while back, and maybe recently as well. It's a dirty game and retail gets caught in the middle. It's a reason many retail investors simply index.

Exactly 👍🏻 AI might me profitable but just like the internet it wasn’t the first wave of investor it’s the second wave that picks up the left over lol 😂
$SPY Welcome to all who missed what the dotcom bubble burst was like. Sure these companies have real earnings unlike many in 2000-2001, but stocks like $GLW, $ORCL,$SNDK and many other big names are down as much as 50% in just the last month. Smaller tech stocks in space, quantum, a.i. chips, photonics are down 70% or so from their 52-week highs. It ain't over. Kospi down another 5% tonight, $SFTBY down 7%. We are possibly looking at a near total washout of retail investors similar to 25 years ago. Many will never come back and start saving for a downpayment on a home instead of going to the casino. That's when it is time to start accumulating. There will be many "bird's nests on the ground" from which to cherry pick at rock bottom valuations.
