what happened
Dental technology maker Align Technology will report third-quarter earnings this Wednesday after the market closes, according to StockStory.
Last quarter the company posted revenue of $1.06 billion, up 4.3% from a year earlier. It beat analysts' EPS estimates, but its revenue guidance for the next quarter came in slightly below expectations. Over the past two years, revenue has missed Wall Street estimates several times.
Analysts expect revenue this quarter to be flat year on year, after growth of 1.8% in the same period last year. Peers in healthcare equipment have already reported: Intuitive Surgical grew revenue 21.7% and beat forecasts by 5.3%, while Neogen rose 6.5% and topped estimates by 7%. Both stocks fell 2.3% after their results. Align shares gained 5.2% over the past month, and the average analyst price target of $188.86 compares with a current share price of $152.59.
why it matters
Investors will focus on revenue and next-quarter guidance, since the company has often diverged from consensus in recent periods. The reaction to peers' results suggests the market is watching revenue growth closely in medical equipment.
