| Treasury Market Summary:… Treasury Market Summary: March came in like a bull for Wall Street. The major indexes surged sharply higher on the back of more good news on vaccines and the expectation of massive stimulus sooner than later. Another batch of stronger than expected data helped too. But opening the door for the gains was the more subdued tenor of the Treasury market. The NASDAQ was up 3.01% with the S&P 500 2.38% firmer, with the Dow 1.95% higher. The risk-on flows lifted longer dated Treasury yields, but the cheapening was much more orderly than last week's furious 20 bps intraday jumps in the 10- and 30-year maturities. A heavy corporate calendar is also contributing to the losses in Treasuries with the focus on a $7 B 6-part deal from Goldman Sachs. The T-note was up 4 bps to 1.446% and the bond was 7 bps higher at 2.22%. The February ISM and the January construction spending strongly beat expectations and contributed to upward revisions in GDP projections. Analysts now expect a revision to Q4 GDP growth to 4.6% from 4.1%, and see a 4.8% clip for Q1. The Atlanta Fed boosted its Q1 projection to 10.04%. Meanwhile, Fedspeakers continued to show no fear over rising rates. View the summary. |

SeaSpine sees 150-200bps of gross margin expansion in FY21 »

CEO Keith Valentine says:… CEO Keith Valentine says: "Our priorities for 2021 are very similar to those, which I believe we have executed on very well in the past. Namely, to timely and effectively develop and launch clinically relevant products, to increase the number of core distributors and their exclusivity to SeaSpine, to generate above-market revenue growth through more efficient utilization of our spinal implant sets, and to further expand our gross margins. To that end, we plan to launch more than a dozen products in 2021, the most impactful being the alpha launches of the line extension of Mariner with an adult deformity indication and four additional 3D printed interbody systems and the migration of the many alpha launches we delivered in 2020 to full commercial launch. We expect to exit 2021, generating more than 75% of our U.S. Spinal Implant revenue from new and recently launched systems and more than 65% our U.S. revenue from existing and new core distributors. And we expect to generate between 150 to 250 basis points of gross margin expansion from more efficient utilization of our spinal implant sets and inventory and by gaining additional operating efficiencies from our Irvine manufacturing facility."

Reports Q4 revenue… Reports Q4 revenue $172.7M, consensus $168.47M. 3D Systems announced that it will delay filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. The company noted the "delay in filing is primarily related to the presentation of cash flows associated with the divestiture process for its Cimatron and GibbsCam software businesses. Based on preliminary analysis, the company believes that any financial impact resulting from this review is accounted for within its fourth quarter and full year 2020 results. The delayed filing has no impact on the operations of the company's business." CEO Dr. Jeff Graves commented "While we were greatly disappointed that we were not able to conclude the audit in a timely fashion, we are pleased to provide our preliminary financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2020, and look forward to discussing these results and our progress in positioning 3D Systems for sustained profitable growth on our conference call tomorrow."

In the future environmentalists and consumer rights groups want smartphones, laptops and other small electrical devices to be included in the "right to repair" rules, noted the story. "Apple last year announced it would start providing training and spare parts to certified independent repair stores fixing Mac computers, not just iPhones," added the Independent story.
