ALIGN TECHNOLOGY INC · 2026-11-04 · Importance 40 · Surprise 42
The company identifies uncertainty about existing and future tariffs, retaliatory tariffs, and protectionist measures as potential risks to revenue and cost of goods sold. It specifically names the United States, China, Europe, Brazil, Canada, Israel, and Mexico as strategic countries or regions where government actions may affect the business. U.S.-China trade tensions could also limit or prohibit access to raw materials, components, and parts; the company says impacts depend on tariff rates, covered goods, timing, and retaliatory actions, and that it is monitoring and seeking to mitigate exposure.
