Align Technology shares surge 12.71% after-hours after Q4 earnings and revenue beat estimates.

Align Technology surged 12.71% in after-hours trading following a Q4 2025 earnings beat, with EPS of $3.29 (vs. $2.97 expected) and revenue of $1.05 billion (vs. $1.03 billion expected). Strong case volume growth of 7.7% and a 72.0% gross margin, its highest since Q1 2022, underscored operational leverage. Analysts responded with upgraded price targets, including Stifel raising its target to $210 and Morgan Stanley to $169, reflecting confidence in global demand resilience and margin expansion. Double-digit case growth in Asia-Pacific and EMEA for the second consecutive quarter offset North American softness, while new product launches like MAOB signaled 2026 growth potential. The stock’s rebound, driven by outperformance in both earnings and revenue, aligned with improved global diversification and analyst optimism about sustained momentum.
