Align Technology shares are climbing as investors cheer a U.S.-Iran ceasefire and look ahead to the company’s Q1 2026 earnings report on April 29, hoping for signs of stronger demand. Sentiment is also getting a boost from news of an activist stake taken by Elliott Investment Management, which often pushes for value‑enhancing changes.
Adding to the bullish mood, Piper Sandler has raised its price target on Align to $235 after its proprietary data signaled the first quarterly growth in U.S. orthodontic aligner volumes in more than four years. That uptick in core volumes is being read as a potentially important turning point for the business.
