Proto Labs, a digital manufacturing company, has outperformed other small-cap industrial stocks by 10 times year-to-date. The company is set to report its Q3 results on October 29, expected to show a fourth consecutive quarter of revenue growth, though gross margins may soften. While customer numbers are stabilizing and revenue per customer is growing in double digits, the stock is currently expensive, trading at a 65% price-to-earnings premium with lower free cash flow and buyback yields compared to typical levels. Despite strong recent performance, the stock appears overextended within its sector.
