Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Rating On Align Technology, Inc.
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lower our 12-month price target to $189 from $193. This new target is 16.7x our 2026 EPS estimate, above ALGN's one-year historical forward average of 15.7x but well below its three- and five-year averages of 24.3x and 31.4x, respectively. We raise our 2026 EPS estimate by $0.06 to $11.34 and our 2027 estimate by $0.15 to $12.36. While interest rates are expected to continue declining, we think North American patient volumes remain challenged in the current macro environment, with inflationary pressures weighing on consumer sentiment and elective medical spending. Average per case shipment price rose around 1% to $1,250 during Q1, up $10 sequentially and Y/Y, though ALGN guides for a 1%-2% decline in pricing during 2026.

Research Alert: Align Technology: International Clear Aligner Volumes Support Q1 Sales, Eps Beat
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:ALGN delivered solid Q1 2026 results with revenues of $1.04B, up 6.2% Y/Y, above consensus, while adjusted EPS of $2.58 beat estimates by $0.29. Clear Aligner volumes rose 6.7% to 685.7k cases, with foreign exchange providing a $44.9M tailwind, though underlying constant currency growth was 2.6%. We view broad-based growth across customer segments positively, with orthodontist shipments up 7.4% and GP dentist volumes increasing 5.6%. The company is supported by a strong balance sheet with $1.06B in cash. Management reaffirmed full-year 2026 guidance for 3-4% revenue growth with mid-single digit Clear Aligner volume growth and non-GAAP operating margin of ~23.7%. Adjusted operating margin expanded 240 bps to 21.5%, reflecting restructuring benefits that should continue supporting profitability improvements. The company completed a $200M share repurchase and announced an additional $200M buyback starting May 2026, demonstrating shareholder-friendly capital allocation, in our view.
