Align Technology, Inc. (ALGN)

Align Technology's stock price has been impacted by several events in the past six months (April 2025 - October 2025). These events include a Q2 2025 earnings miss and lowered guidance, a CEO stock purchase, a stock repurchase program, patent infringement lawsuits against Angelalign Technology, a Jefferies downgrade, a product launch in India, analyst rating changes, the upcoming Q3 2025 earnings release, and overall stock performance updates.

Demand for Align Technology's products and services, particularly clear aligners, exhibits seasonality. The company experienced more pronounced seasonality for Clear Aligners than expected in the third quarter of 2024. As aesthetic orthodontics is considered discretionary spending, the performance of Align Technology is sensitive to overall consumer confidence and macroeconomic conditions.
