What are Wall Street analysts saying about Intuitive Surgical stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Intuitive Surgical stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Intuitive Surgical outperformed the industry in a year’s time. The company’s robotic platform – da Vinci procedures –recorded solid growth in recent times. Higher worldwide da Vinci procedures led by growth in U.S. general surgery procedures and global urologic procedures is a positive. A regulatory approval for the Sure Form 60 buoys optimism. Earlier this year, the company submitted a premarket notification to the FDA for the Ion endoluminal system. Management is also optimistic about the company’s collaboration with InTouch Health. On the flipside, the company expects outside U.S. sales to be a bit lumpy in the quarters ahead. These markets are in early stages of adoption. Intense competition in niche space as well as long sale and purchase order cycles of da Vinci unit has been currently plaguing the company." (11/15/2018)
- 2. BTIG Research analysts commented, "Procedures Accelerate Intuitive reported another strong quarter but this time procedures accelerated to ~20% y/y growth. On the procedure side, hernia continues to be the strongest growth contributor with management noting hernia is no longer in the first innings but has plenty of growth potential to come. Colorectal continued strong US growth while core GYN and prostate trends remained healthy in the US. OUS prostate growth paced Europe while Japan saw ~40% growth driven by newly established reimbursement. Systems again topped the Street but this includes a larger contribution from leases. We believe getting systems out in the field makes sense, but at the high valuation, some investors may not want to give full credit for leases that do not drive full ASPs up front." (10/21/2018)
- 3. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, ": We reiterate our Overweight rating on shares of ISRG and maintain our price target of $620. ISRG momentum continued as the company significantly beat all the metrics we track. ISRG delivered 20% procedure growth for 3Q18, the highest quarterly procedure growth since 2012. ISRG again raised full-year 2018 procedure growth guidance to 17-18% from 14.5-16.5%. The global installed based grew 13% and utilization was up by mid-single digits. The strong quarterly growth and expanding number of future growth drivers continue to justify ISRG’s premium valuation, in our view." (10/19/2018)
- 4. Northland Securities analysts commented, "We continue to be DEAD WRONG on the stock. The argument on this stock is now primarily about how much you can stretch valuation. The stock currently trades at ~ 15x forward P/S and ~54x forward P/E. We are not sure in what world these metrics can be sustained. The confluence of 4 factors….a nutty market which has no correlation to fundamentals, lack of any serious competition from the likes of MDT and JNJ, positive f/x contribution due to the weaker dollar, and finally, a lower tax rate due to the recent tax law passed, are yielding higher returns."
