ISRGIntuitive Surgical (ISRG) demonstrates strong fundamental performance and is well-positioned within the growing minimally invasive surgery market. However, current valuation metrics and recent technical indicators suggest a cautious short-term outlook, favoring a 'Buy' rather than 'Strong Buy' rating for a balanced approach.
ISRG benefits from robust secular growth trends in healthcare, particularly the increasing adoption of minimally invasive procedures and robotic-assisted surgery. Technological advancements and an aging global population further bolster its long-term thematic appeal.
ISRG exhibits strong financial health with consistent revenue growth and improving profitability. Its balance sheet is robust, and free cash flow generation remains solid, although the current valuation multiples are on the higher side.
The stock has experienced a significant price decline, breaking below key moving averages. While oscillators suggest potential oversold conditions, the overall trend is currently bearish, indicating caution.

Consistent EPS Surprises
Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) has a strong track record of exceeding earnings per share (EPS) estimates, with positive surprises in 10 out of the last 12 reported quarters. The most recent quarter (2025 Q1) saw an EPS surprise of 23.19%.
Growth at a Reasonable Price (PEG)
The TTM P/E ratio is 67.2, and with an estimated EPS for 2025 of $1.72 (Q2 estimate), the forward P/E remains elevated. However, considering the company's consistent growth, the PEG ratio, if calculated with projected growth rates, could present a more favorable picture, though specific growth rate data is not directly provided in the input.
High Valuation Multiples
The TTM P/E ratio of 68.05 and a Price-to-Sales (P/S) ratio of 19.1 indicate a high valuation. While growth justifies some premium, these multiples suggest that a significant portion of future growth is already priced into the stock, increasing downside risk if growth expectations are not met.
Slowing Revenue Growth Trends
While revenue for Q4 2024 was $8.35 billion, an increase from Q4 2023 ($7.12 billion), the net margin has fluctuated. Year-over-year quarterly revenue growth rates, while not explicitly detailed in a comparative table, need close monitoring to ensure sustained expansion.
