Align Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALGN) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer answered questions about. A caller was bullish on the company but mentioned their worry that the competition in the industry is increasing. Cramer replied:
“Yeah, well, that’s the problem. I loved this company when it was the only game in town, but the fact that there are others makes me very, very circumspect about it. I’m going to have to say, take a pass on what was once a company that really had a field to itself, but no more.”
Align Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALGN) designs and sells clear aligners, retainers, and orthodontic devices. Meridian Growth Fund stated the following regarding the company in its third quarter 2025 investor letter:
“Align Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALGN) is a global leader in dental technology and the maker of Invisalign clear aligners. We were initially drawn to Align for its strong competitive position and innovative iTero digital scanning system, which enables clinicians to design more precise treatment plans and enhances the overall patient experience. The stock underperformed during the quarter as expectations for a demand rebound did not materialize. Patient conversion rates softened, most notably within the teen segment, where revenue growth slowed to 3%. In addition, market share gains reversed amid a weaker macroeconomic backdrop for discretionary dental procedures and a shift toward lower-cost wires and brackets. Given these dynamics, we trimmed our position during the period.”
While we acknowledge the potential of ALGN as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
