Align Technology Inc (ALGN) recently experienced a gap down in shares to $221.905. Brokerages have given the company a consensus recommendation of \"Hold\". The company shares appear to be undervalued per intrinsic value estimates while it still maintains a stock target. Negative investor sentiment could be stemming from recent analyst downgrades, some even slashing their price targets for the company. Marshall Wace LLP offloaded 9,052 of ALGN shares, while some other institutions like Country Trust Bank are purchasing shares. Q2 Earnings surpassed projections, however, overall sales outlook for 2024 was reduced. Align's innovations have been termed a double-edged sword for investors which might be why the stock underperforms the market. On the other hand, new regional leadership roles and potential growth in clear aligner sales could drive future earnings and market performance. Amidst criticism and market underperformance, some believe that short-sellers are wrong and that holding Align Technology stock could pay off. Furthermore, a $150 million repurchase program has added a bullish twist. Despite earnings growth, shareholders seem dissatisfied and the company's share price continues to fluctuate.
