Better Buy: Align Technology vs. Intuitive Surgical
Surgeons have a reputation for using the hottest new tools and techniques. Dentists, not so much. But don't let these stereotypes trick you into thinking that sophisticated surgical tools will make more money than a fresh and aesthetically appealing spin on dental braces.
Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG) and Align Technology (NASDAQ: ALGN) are on the cutting edge of their respective fields. Intuitive's robotic surgery suites are becoming more common -- and more advanced -- with each passing year. Align's tooth-straightening devices are experiencing similarly enthusiastic adoption. Given the toll of the coronavirus pandemic, however, these two companies are facing significantly different growth trajectories in the next few years, making one of them a much better buy than the other.
