Dental technology company Align Technology experienced a significant setback in its financial performance for the second quarter of 2025. The company reported sales of $1.01 billion, marking a 1.6% decline compared to the same period last year. This disappointing result fell short of market expectations, contributing to a sharp decline in the company’s stock price.
Looking ahead, Align Technology provided revenue guidance for the next quarter that further disappointed investors. The projected revenue of $975 million was 6.4% lower than analysts' forecasts, raising concerns about the company’s growth trajectory. Additionally, Align reported a non-GAAP profit of $2.49 per share, which was 3.3% below the consensus estimates of analysts.
The combination of lower-than-expected sales and profit figures has led to a notable drop in investor confidence, with shares plummeting by 33.4%. This downturn underscores the challenges Align Technology faces in a competitive market and the growing scrutiny from investors.
