The Analyst Verdict: Align Tech In The Eyes Of 3 Experts

Jefferies analyst Brandon Couillard maintains Align Tech (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALGN#NASDAQ">ALGN</a>) with a Buy and lowers the price target from $285 to $260.

Jefferies Maintains Buy on Align Tech, Lowers Price Target to $260

Leerink Partners upgraded Align Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALGN#NASDAQ">ALGN</a>), citing upside opportunities throughout 2025 given gross <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ALGN" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">margin expansion opportunities</a>.
Align Technology — a medical device company that manufactures and sells dental aligners, scanners, and software for digital orthodontics and restorative dentistry — will benefit from improving consumer sentiment, easing comps and continued equipment traction with Lumina.
In October, Align Technology announced that it is planning to repurchase $275 million of its common stock through open market repurchases under its $1 billion stock repurchase program, which was approved by Align&#8217;s Board of Directors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/b41543440/align-technology-announces-275-million-open-market-repurchase" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">in January 2023</a>.

Analyst Michael Cherny still does not anticipate an entirely risk-free situation. Average selling price (ASP) pressures could lead to short-term fluctuations, and unpredictable consumer data may cause stock volatility.
However, the analyst writes the positives outweigh the negatives.
Align has consistently outperformed competitors through innovation, competitive advantages, and relationships with dentists.
Cherny adds that the previous market perform rating reflected expectations of a weaker fiscal year in 2024 due to challenging economic conditions and uncertainty about the earnings impact of new product launches.
Leerink sees a clearer path for growth in fiscal 2025. Operational efficiencies will likely drive additional profit gains beyond that year.
Leerink has upgraded Align Technology from Market Perform to Outperform, with a price target of $280 from $235.
In the third quarter, Align Tech reported adjusted EPS of $2.35, better than the consensus of $2.31, while sales increased 1.8% to $977.9 million, below the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/b41500216/align-technology-announces-third-quarter-2024-financial-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $987.34 million</a>.
Most recently, Align Technology received a CE Mark in Europe for Align&#8217;s Invisalign <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b42098923/align-technology-has-received-ce-mark-in-europe-for-the-invisalign-palatal-expander-system-to-addr" rel="noreferrer noopener">Palatal Expander System</a>.
The Invisalign Palatal Expander System has also completed registration with MHRA for the United Kingdom and overseas territories.
Price Action: Align stock is up 6.45% at $221.68 at last check Monday.

On Wednesday,&nbsp;Patient Square Capital, a healthcare investment firm, agreed to acquire&nbsp;Patterson Companies, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDCO#NASDAQ">PDCO</a>), a dental and animal health product distributor, for&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/b42433177/patterson-companies-announces-definitive-agreement-to-be-acquired-by-patient-square-capital-for-31" rel="noreferrer noopener">approximately $4.1 billion</a>.
During its second-quarter earnings release, the company announced it is exploring strategic options, including a sale or merger,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42342667/dental-supplies-patterson-companies-evaluates-strategic-alternatives-after-mixed-q2-earnings-amid-challenging-end-market-environment" rel="noreferrer noopener">to boost shareholder value</a>.
William Blair notes that based on Patient Square Capital&#8217;s portfolio, which doesn&#8217;t include dental or animal health companies, regulatory hurdles for this deal are unlikely.
Additionally, the analyst&#8217;s dental valuation analysis suggests the offer for Patterson is strong, making it unlikely that higher bids will emerge during the 40-day window for competing offers.
The valuation analysis includes Align Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALGN#NASDAQ">ALGN</a>), Dentsply Sirona Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XRAY#NASDAQ">XRAY</a>), Henry Schein Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HSIC#NASDAQ">HSIC</a>), Envista Holdings Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVST#NYSE">NVST</a>) and Europe-listed Straumann Holding.
William Blair writes that most dental companies they cover are trading at or near their lowest valuations in 15 years, as investor interest has declined due to ongoing macroeconomic challenges.
Most recently,&nbsp;Dentsply Sirona revised its 2024 outlook due to market pressures impacting U.S. equipment, legislative changes affecting the direct-to-consumer aligner business model, and the voluntary&nbsp;suspension of sales, marketing, and shipments of Byte Aligners <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41814727/dentsply-sirona-stock-sinks-on-dismal-2024-guidance-blames-macroeconomic-competitiv" rel="noreferrer noopener">and Impression Kits</a>.
Henry Schein&#8217;s third-quarter global dental segment sales were $1.9 billion, down 1.6%, and medical segment sales increased by 2.9% (down 4.8% internally) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41752173/henry-schein-q3-earnings-sees-recovery-from-cyber-incident-says-dental-equipment-business-shows-sta" rel="noreferrer noopener">to $1.1 billion</a>.
While it&#8217;s still early to gauge investor reactions, the analyst is considering whether Patterson&#8217;s acquisition might stabilize valuations and boost demand in the dental sector.
The analyst writes the move could support valuations and signal a potential recovery in the market, making many dental stocks appealing from a risk/reward perspective.
Among these, William Blair sees Align as having the greatest potential for stock growth, driven by improving market conditions and gains in both earnings and valuation.
