Align 科技公司

克雷·布萊瑟爾Buffalo Discovery基金

股票代碼：(ALGN)

所屬行業(yè)：科技

????Buffalo Discovery基金管理資產(chǎn)規(guī)模4.30億美元，晨星（Morningstar）數(shù)據(jù)顯示，過去10年該基金平均每年增長10.6%，高于同類基金的7.5%。Buffalo Discovery的聯(lián)席經(jīng)理克雷·布萊瑟爾相信創(chuàng)新無處不在，創(chuàng)新并不限于科技本身。

????一個很好的例子就是：Align科技公司（Align Technology）。這家隱適美（Invisalign）隱型牙箍制造商年收入5.50億美元，給牙齒正畸行業(yè)帶來了顛覆性革命。這家公司生產(chǎn)的這種透明隱形牙箍，可以像矯正器一樣帶上和取下，最初作為成人傳統(tǒng)金屬牙箍的替代品而開始流行。如今，這家公司正在進(jìn)入青少年市場，這一市場占到每年260萬例正畸病例的2/3。（自從成人產(chǎn)品發(fā)貨量出現(xiàn)季度下滑以來，該股股價已經(jīng)下跌28%，但布萊瑟爾并不擔(dān)憂，因為他看好青少年市場的潛力。）布萊瑟爾相信，其基金持有的這只重倉股未來五年將繼續(xù)以每年15%左右的速度增加收入，利潤增速將更快。正如布萊瑟爾所言：“只要跟牙齒正畸師和牙醫(yī)聊一聊，（就會發(fā)現(xiàn)）這是患者走進(jìn)診所唯一要求指定品牌的產(chǎn)品。”

Align Technology

Clay Brethour?Buffalo Discovery

Ticker:?(ALGN)

Sector pick:?Technology

????Clay Brethour, co-manager of the $430 million?Buffalo Discovery Fund?(BUFTX)-- up 10.6% a year on average for the past 10 years, vs. 7.5% for its category, according to Morningstar -- likes to think about innovation broadly rather than about technology per se.

????Case in point: Align Technology, the $550 million (in revenue) maker of Invisalign invisible braces, which have transformed orthodontics. The company's clear aligner trays, which pop in and out like retainers, first became popular with adults as an alternative to the despised traditional metal braces. Now the company is making inroads in the teenage market, which represents three-quarters of the 2.6 million orthodontics cases begun each year. (Shares have fallen 28% since a quarterly decline in shipments to adults, but Brethour isn't worried because of the potential he sees in the teen market.) He thinks the company, a top holding of his fund, can continue to increase revenue about 15% or so a year, and expand profits at an even faster rate, for the next five years. As Brethour puts it, "If you talk to orthodontists and dentists, this is the only product where patients come in and ask for it by brand."
