So what exactly has ALGN stock down on Thursday? The company’s guidance for the third quarter of 2019 isn’t exactly filling investors with confidence. It is expecting earnings per share between $1.09 to $1.16 for the quarter. However, Wall Street is estimating earnings per share of $1.44 for the third quarter of the year.
