Current thesis
The post-earnings bull case is that PRLB is showing real operating leverage: record revenue, 46.2% non-GAAP gross margin, 16.3% adjusted EBITDA margin, $17.5 million of operating cash flow, and $158.0 million of cash and investments, with CNC machining up 19.7% and Q2 guidance holding the company near record revenue levels [#8-K-2026-05-01].

Momentum
What changed
Momentum remains the lead driver in the composite, 7D delta -3.5.
What can break
After a strong Q1, the company still only guided full-year 2026 revenue growth to 6%-8%, leaving limited room for disappointment if macro or order timing softens [#8-K-2026-05-01].
