Stifel also reviewed Align’s latest 10-Q filing and used it to inform observations on valuation, the analyst said.

Block stated that Align’s Q1 2026 earnings influenced the updated model heavily. In the earnings report shared on April 29, revenue came in at $1. 04 billion, up 6.

2% year over year. Management credited the revenue growth to record clear aligner shipments and higher average selling prices. Clear aligner revenue specifically surged 7.

4% year over year to $856 million, driven by volume growth, price increases, favorable foreign exchange, and lower net revenue deferrals. GAAP EPS for the quarter was $1. 57 per diluted share, up from $1.

26 in Q1 2025. This EPS jump came on the back of higher gross margins, lower tax rate, and buybacks reducing the share count, management noted. Stifel’s $210 target has been in place since February, when the firm raised it from $200 after concluding that Align could deliver mid-single-digit comparable growth for the year.

The firm calculated that this growth would support a share price in the $205-$215 range. Align Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALGN) is a medical technology company specializing in digital orthodontics and restorative dentistry solutions.
