Proto Labs: Forget Margins, Pay Attention To Free Cash Flow For This Reshoring Play
Proto Labs stands to benefit from the increasing demand for US-manufactured products; this demand is already being reflected by high revenue growth in CNC machining, coming from aerospace and defense. Over the past years, PRLB has contracted its margins in the effort of expanding to other segments of the digital manufacturing space, like 3D printing. As a result, the company has experienced a massive sell-off that resulted in an 80% drawdown from its all-time highs.

Proto Labs: Stronger Growth Is Supportive Of The Stock
Proto Labs' cash flows have improved in recent quarters, but the sustainability of this is uncertain due to low CapEx and an ongoing mix shift toward lower margin segments. Growth has also strengthened, driven by a surge in CNC revenue from aerospace and defense customers. While Proto Labs' share price has moved significantly higher, the company's valuation is still fairly reasonable, although this is dependent on the company's ability to drive its margins higher.
