3D Systems3D Systems is one of the largest 3-D printing companies in the world. It will report earnings on Monday morning. Currently, 32% of 3D Systems’ shares are sold short.

After years of meteoric growth—both in revenue and its stock price—things have come to a halt in the 3-D printing space. Some think it was just a “fad” that has run its course.

Here’s What You Should WatchOver the Short Term• 3D Systems is expected to

report a profit of $0.03 per share for the previous quarter.

• Analysts expect the company to have collected $168 million in sales for the previous quarter.

• For 2016, analysts expect the company to earn $0.25 per share on sales of $651 million.

Over the Long Term• A key metric to watch will be

organic growth. Last quarter, it shrunk 22%, and was down 12% total for the first nine months of 2015.

• After pre-releasing largely positive results, management also said there would be goodwill impairments and write-offs, listen to the conference call for any further discussion of the move.

The Habit RestaurantsThe Habit runs a chain of fast-casual burger restaurants in California, Arizona, Utah, and New Jersey. The company will report earnings on Wednesday evening.

Currently, 56% of The Habit’s shares are sold short.

Newly IPO’d, The Habit trades for a pricey 57 times future earnings. Investors likely think such a price has unattainably lofty expectations baked in.

announce $60.7 million in revenue for the previous quarter.

• The company is expected to have made $0.04 per share last quarter.

• For 2016, expectations are set for $292 million in revenue and earnings of $0.35 per share.

Over the Long Term• Same-store sales are the key for

restaurants, and The Habit is no different. Management signaled that it believed the metric would be between 2% and 3%.

• During 2015, the company is expected to have opened 26-28 company-owned restaurants. Listen closely to see how many locations are expected to open in 2016.

AmbarellaAmbarella makes the technology used in small action-cameras, such as those sold by GoPro. The company will report earnings on Thursday evening.

Currently, 39% of Ambarella’s float is sold short.

Investors are worried that the company is too closely tied to the fate of faltering GoPro, while also being concerned about commoditization of Ambarella’s technology.

Here’s What You Should WatchOver the Short Term• Analysts are expecting

Ambarella to report revenue of $66.1 million for the previous quarter.

• They are also expecting the company to have earned $0.48 per share for the previous quarter.

• For fiscal 2017, analysts expect earnings of $2.94 per share on $349 million in revenue.
