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 its industry in a year’s time. The company exited the second quarter of 2018 on a favorable note, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate on both the counts. The company’s flagship da Vinci procedures recorded solid growth. It is a robot-based surgical system for minimally-invasive surgery that reduces the trauma associated with open surgery. A suite of regulatory approvals for the Vessel Sealer Extend, the da Vinci SP Surgical System, and the Sure Form 60 buoys optimism. Solid growth in prostatectomy procedure volumes lent Intuitive Surgical a competitive edge in the broader prostate surgery market. 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." (7/24/2018)
- 2. BTIG Research analysts commented, "Surgical reported another sweep this quarter, exceeding consensus expectations on every key metric: procedures, systems, sales, and EPS. The company shipped 220 systems in Q2, well above our 197 units and the Street’s 191 units. As in recent quarters, a significant portion (20%) of these systems were placed under operating leases. We view this as a smart strategy that is helping boost procedure growth. Procedure volume increased ~18% y/y in the quarter, again eclipsing expectations. Instrument segments exceeded consensus estimates too. We think the factors underlying repeated outperformances are likely to continue for some time and there are exciting product catalysts on the way. We remain at Neutral, as shares trade at ~57x NTM EPS, which we think excessive. Still, this stock keeps motoring upwards and may keep doing so as long as this med tech bull market continues." (7/22/2018)
- 3. 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." (7/20/2018)
- 4. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, ": We reiterate our Overweight rating on shares of ISRG and raise our price target to $620 from $510. Quarter after quarter, ISRG continues to justify its premium valuation, again significantly beating on all metrics we track, including the top and bottom line. ISRG delivered 18% procedure growth for 2Q18, one of the strongest quarterly procedure growth figures y/y in the last five years, with broad strength across all procedure categories. ISRG raised full-year 2018 procedure growth guidance to 14.5-16.5% from 12-15%. The installed based grew 12% and utilization was up by mid-single digits." (7/20/2018)
