What does Align Technology's quality score measure?+
Intrinsiqq's quality score weighs revenue and free-cash-flow growth, operating margins, return on invested capital, change in share count, and balance-sheet strength, each computed from ALGN's SEC filings rather than opinion or sentiment. A higher score means a more durable, capital-efficient business; it is not a buy or sell signal. Open each metric on this page to see exactly where Align Technology scores well and where it falls behind.
What is Align Technology's return on invested capital (ROIC)?+
Align Technology earns about 9.3% on its invested capital, which is modest. ROIC measures how much profit a company generates per dollar put to work; sustained ROIC above its cost of capital is one of the clearest signs of a real competitive moat. Compare it to ALGN's margins and growth on this scorecard to judge durability.
How profitable is Align Technology?+
Align Technology runs an operating margin of about 13.2% and a net margin of about 10.0%. Revenue has grown at roughly 10.3% a year recently. High, stable margins usually point to pricing power and operating discipline. Margins are most telling next to growth and returns on capital, all of which feed this quality score. This is analysis from SEC filings, not investment advice.
