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 ended the fourth quarter on a mixed note. While earnings fell short of estimates, revenues surpassed the same. The flagship da Vinci procedures also recorded solid growth in the quarter. The company looks to accelerate its business in China, following the clearance of da Vinci Xi. Management is also optimistic about the 510(k) submission for the TransOral Robotic Surgery and the Phase I launch of da Vinci SP. Intuitive Surgical outperformed the industry in a year’s time, courtesy of strong exposure to robotics & medical mechatronics. On the flip side, contraction in the company’s gross and operating margins is worrisome. Management expects margins to fluctuate due to newer product mixes and surging operating expenses. Additionally, the da Vinci system is in the early stages of adoption in some of the markets outside the United States. Intense competition in the global MedTech space adds to the woes." (1/30/2019)
- 2. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, ": We reiterate our Overweight rating on shares of ISRG and maintain our PT of $620. ISRG reported 4Q18 results consistent with its preliminary announcement (1/9). ISRG delivered 19% procedure growth for 4Q18, largely driven by US general surgery and worldwide urology. ISRG reiterated its procedure growth guidance (13-17%), however we expect initial guidance to prove conservative as it has over the past several years. Management plans to increase opex by 20-28% in 2019, which comes as a surprise. We expect investors to have an initial negative reaction to the expected significant increase in spending, but we think the investments will fuel future top-line growth and accelerate ISRG’s pipeline." (1/25/2019)
- 3. Northland Securities analysts commented, "We are tweaking our models accordingly, and are introducing our FY20 numbers. Key Points Instrument & Accessory revs @ $539M vs. our estimate @ $535M. Systems revs @ $340M vs. our estimate @ $327M." (1/10/2019)
