Entered ISRG at $400. It's clearly a buy now but not the new Apple or Google of robotics.

ISRG, COST, JPM. You won’t go wrong with those three holding long.

I disagree on the momentum loss argument. Utilization is still climbing at the same rate it was a year ago and recurring revenue is 85% of the total and growing 19%, instruments & accessories revenue per procedure rose in Q2, FCF is up 75% YTD y/y. They placed 468 systems in Q2 (18% growth y/y) with 53% of those placements being the next-gen dV5 system (which has accelerating placement growth) along with meaningful margin improvements. ISRG has close to 12,000 da Vinci's deployed. Seems like a lot until you realize a hospital with enough beds and surgeries to financially justify having a da Vinci is close to 25,000 worldwide and many hospitals that have a robot are extremely willing to upgrade to next-gen versions. ISRG is in the early innings of their European, Asian (ex. Japan) LatAm, and Middle East expansion. They only just signed a direct distribution deal in Italy, Spain, and Portugal.

ISRG will likely see a lot more multiple compression.

tired_ani

I am buying BSX , HONA again. ISRG if it falls more.

MitchCurry

I can't bring myself to sell PRCT but I want to be put out of my misery. I wish ISRG would just buy them up. Feels like the AquaBeam and HYDROS robotic systems would fit so well in ISRG's house and they could actually succeed where PRCT is failing (making the razor-and-blade model actually work).

I think ISRG just had their big pullback, long term forecast is bullish.

ISRG

CosmosMasterMan

Yeah for Pharma/Medtech I run ISRG, DSNKY and LLY, with a small bet on CNTX because of valuable IP.

CosmosMasterMan

Gotcha, yeah they're an incredible company, the future is bright. I had a target weight of 4% for my entire portfolio but they're up to like 6% at the moment so causing some drag but not a ton. I structured my brokerage to have multiple bets within each sector, so while ISRG goes down DSNKY goes up, etc

CosmosMasterMan

ISRG is starting to recover, hooray for Dr. Clanker :')

East_Pool1603

PRCT growing faster at this stage but ISRG had whole robotic surgery market to itself basically, now there is lot more competition for urology robots

Krusty_Double_Deluxe

META has no value to extract anymore, you should be thinking about investing in a tech company with a tangible product. ISRG is incredibly undervalued right now, and the surgical robotics space is likely to explode in the next few years

care_dont

Why do you just constrain yourself to forward PE in isolation. First test what revenue growth assumption does it undergo. Then assess if this growth is viable. Then assess their marketcap + addressable marketcap. Test what part of addressable marketcap will be taken by NVDIA at this YoY growth. Test against peers share. Then confirm that this split makes sense. Finally if you are feeling brave, assess what would happen if growth were to stall or to slowdown. Take a look at ISRG as an example. Its revenue and FCF is growing annually, while stock price is dropping. Why? Because growth within its market is slowing down and competition enters.

I own a few stocks that roughly fit this description. BSX, ISRG, NOW, & ORCL I've purchased all at recent lows after major dips and still hold. Adobe is another one I bought just under 200/share but have since taken profit.

MitchCurry

Just added to QXO (7% more shares), PRCT (13%), ISRG (6%), and NTDOY (13%). Nintendo is now my 2nd largest position (trailing MELI) by total cost basis (ex. ETFs which are \~1/2 of my total cost basis overall). My bull case on Nintendo: * Memory costs are cyclical and the JPY 100B FY27 guidance headwind from memory is transient * NTDOY guidance is legendarily conversative (some may even say outright sandbagging) * IP monetization is early (just 3% or total revenue) and will be a huge driver over the next decade * Install base of 100MM annual playing users drivers huge revenue regardless of future hardware sales * $14.3B is cash with zero debt. They can weather cyclical downturns, fund acquisitions, accelerate IP development, or just increase dividends Plenty can go wrong. I'm betting over the next 10+ years, they go right.

ISRG is the only one that I like, or have ever invested in for medical robotics. I don't get into med stuff too often. I own LLY and had a position in EW years ago. The moat for ISRG is what I've always found attractive. Surgical residents train on the equipment. Switching over once your an attending is time that they don't want to spend when they're already familiar with existing infrastructure. As others have discussed in this thread there is a premium to be paid for this stock. I think the moat is secure and the premium is still worth paying for now. The big pile of cash ISRG has also doesn't hurt.

Blue7810

What is your opinion on BSX? I was considering it as an alternative to ISRG, then decided that the company has less potential long-term growth as well as weaker financials.

Spac55

$ISRG Earning not bad. Look trend last 5-6 years, time to load it at red days. As baby boomers get old, more health care needs for robotics surgery. https://preview.redd.it/7e0v70kj2vdh1.png?width=1676&format=png&auto=webp&s=bf8ba0153eca29c3a9e31e4a466deae9954e3c7c

_hiddenscout

Yeah, I was going back and forth with AMKR and ISRG this morning. Still hoping for ISRG to sell off a bit more, but just like the fundamentals a bit more on AMKR. I'm there with you though!

Temporary-Thanks8279

Been watching this one for a bit. Going 50/50 on this and ISRG. 350 was my target price 

MitchCurry

I added more today as well. I'm not in the medical field but my spouse is and regularly uses a da Vinci. As you mentioned and she says, hospitals won't change once they have one in the door. Too much capex re-training physicians. ISRG is one of the best razor-and-blade companies out there.

elgrandorado

Only real argument towards long term tailwinds is Chinese competition but that still gives them ROTW growth to play for, where what really matters is physician training and lock in. Exciting times and I bought more ISRG today. I worked in Medical Robotics, and it was always shocking to me how much untapped growth there is in this space. ISRG is one of those firms where the terminal growth rate is usually understated and it affects how people model the company.

MitchCurry

Meh, disagree. Bariatric surgeries are a small slice of ISRG's procedure mix. GLP-1s have essentially no impact on prostatectomy, hysterectomy, colorectal resection, hernia repair, oncology procedures, etc. etc. and those are the real volume drivers. I'd like to see someone Ozempic their way out of prostate cancer or a uterine fibroid.

MitchCurry

The saturation argument has been made since 2015 and continues to ignore actual data. A market approaching saturation 468 systems placed (18% growth y/y) with 53% of those placements being the next-gen dV5 system (which has accelerating placement growth) along with meaningful margin improvements. ISRG has close to 12,000 da Vinci's deployed. Seems like a lot until you realize a hospital with enough beds and surgeries to financially justify having a da Vinci is close to 25,000 worldwide. ISRG is in the early innings of their European, Asian (ex. Japan) LatAm, and Middle East expansion. They only just signed a direct distribution deal in Italy, Spain, and Portugal. And that doesn't even touch on Ion system and procedure growth and the optionality both systems have as their tech gets better and expands into other surgery types. If you want to argue against ISRG, stick with the overvalued argument. Heck, you could even throw in tariff exposure and potential hospital capex pullbacks when the next recession finally arrives but those are short-term obstacles. Arguing saturation just makes it feel like you don't actually have any knowledge of ISRG outside of their valuation.

urfaselol

ISRG getting absolutely wrecked. I think investors are seeing that it's very overvalued and their market is heading towards saturation

SummitSloth

ISRG calls are sexy

Welp, headed to WEN👩‍🦰 to supplement these ISRG🪦 losses

OptionsHuduga

Yeah? How did that work out for ASML, TSM, Netflix and ISRG so far? They all tanked before earnings and tanked more after

fLukeozade

Invested 25% of my newer portfolio of it in 2006 and haven't sold a share to date. Latest sentiment also driven by potential condition from Medtronic, plus reports of robotic surgery from bipedal robots. $ISRG still has a curve 10 year lead in most fields of this highly regulated industry, plus a strong moat around trained surgeons. Valuation will do whatever it does, company fundamentals are going in the right direction, and that's what I'm tracking.

MarthaJulietta

Definitely finding some stuff I want to get into. NFLX is looking kinda juicy after solid earnings and a big dip. ISRG still very expensive but just cool as fuck. I dont know if I want to even sell a OOTM put on this but its definitely something to watch. If it flounders down to around 300 maybe.

mrmrmrj

The stock is down because some hospital companies have commented in their earnings that procedures are below expectations. If you like ISRG, look at PRCT. It is like ISRG 20 years ago.

vermilli21

Careful, people over in r/Valueinvesting are bullish on ORCL IBM ISRG NFLX [https://www.reddit.com/r/ValueInvesting/comments/1uyl1m7/blue\_chip\_stocks\_on\_sale\_right\_now/](https://www.reddit.com/r/ValueInvesting/comments/1uyl1m7/blue_chip_stocks_on_sale_right_now/)

I owned a large number of shares of this ticker years (a decade?) ago, and I have to say that I am so glad I dumped everything and bought AAPL. I say this as people looking to buy ISRG should buy AAPL instead, even today.

Phew, just finished a 16 hour shift, exhausted 🥵 But good thing I put my entire IRA into ISRG @ $401.50 before close, I’m definitely rich now because they’ll beat their ER tomorrow 😁🤑

Why did ISRG shut the bed, they had better than estimated earnings and good outlook for year…? Analyst estimates like 100 above where it’s trading. Nuts

Wow. $ISRG with a $50 drop on beat and raise lmao. Had a call and almost bought a put to hedge but decided against it last minute. Smh.

_hiddenscout

**Intuitive (Nasdaq: ISRG)** reported second quarter 2026 revenue of **$2.89 billion**, up **19%** from $2.44 billion a year earlier, driven by approximately **16%** growth in combined da Vinci and Ion procedures and higher system leasing revenue. GAAP net income attributable to Intuitive was **$818 million** or **$2.29** per diluted share, while non-GAAP net income was **$1.00 billion** or **$2.80** per diluted share, both including a **$28 million** net tariff refund benefit. Intuitive placed **468** da Vinci systems and **55** Ion systems, expanding the da Vinci installed base to **11,710** and Ion to **1,096**. Cash, cash equivalents, and investments rose to **$8.63 billion**. For full-year 2026, the company projects worldwide da Vinci procedure growth of **13.5%–15.5%**, non-GAAP gross margin of **68%–69%** of revenue, and non-GAAP operating expense growth of **11%–13%**.

ISRG — Quick DD $402 · ~51x P/E · $142B cap · near 52-wk low Business: Robotic surgery leader (da Vinci). ~60% recurring "razor-blade" revenue, wide moat (installed base + surgeon switching costs). Good: Revenue $4.4B→$10B since 2020, growth accelerating to +21% (2025); 18% procedure growth; best-in-class margins, net cash. Bad: Down 33% from highs on (1) valuation reset from ~70x, (2) growth decel (2026 guide +13-15%), (3) real competition arriving (Medtronic Hugo, J&J Ottava). Still priciest in its peer group (vs SYK 36x, MDT 22x). Verdict: Quality compounder, fairer-but-not-cheap. Business is intact (the premium came out, not the fundamentals). Competitors have the hardware but haven't breached the moat. Accumulate on weakness if you believe the moat holds — not a screaming bargain. Watch Hugo/Ottava share trends.

Ok_Macaroon6934

I use this sub as one of my launching points to do my own dilligence. I'm currently substantially beating the S&P, after two years of this. The sub gave me leads into RKLB, ASTS and ISRG, which have been excellent performers. If also told me to favour NVO over LLY, which after due diligence I thought did not match reality at all, so I forwent NVO and took a position in LLY instead. Very good decision and against the sentiment, but both stocks surfaced here for me. The conversation about INTC when it had its implosion moment had no consensus, but raised lots of opportunities for me that I then researched. I decided it was on sale, not moribund, and that's been a very nice position. Wouldn't have even considered it except for the conversation here. I have many other examples. In this sub, there is a lot of retail experience and skin in the game. The conversation tells you where to look. It's down to you though to unpack things beyond the sub, and if you do it well, you seem to benefit greatly. Just don't blindly outsource your strategy to the sub's majority opinion.

ISRG isn't doing too well these days. It's hovering around it's 52 week low. Cheers, An ISRG Investor PS: I like the company Apps: I'll buy more if it goes below $400 again

Health care seems to do well on the days tech is down. ISRG is my favorite rn

elgrandorado

I exhausted my personal allocation on NTDOY, so I have to sit and wait patiently. I agree that both are attractive propositions right now. ISRG I bought into recently as well.

tired_ani

It’s just a great time to buy the companies that are in a drawdown. I am adding to SPGI and NTDOY daily, waiting for ISRG to meet me.

tabidots

After a detailed discussion with Claude (not just “pick me a healthcare stock”), it suggested ISRG, a healthcare + robotics play. I probably won’t go through with it (a bit expensive, not too sure about the upside) but it’s on my radar for now.

elgrandorado

Sold GOOG today. I figured with the equity raise and the IPOs of the AI Labs, it was time to cash in on my largest position and enjoy the gains. I think the company will do fine in the short & medium term, I just think with the circular financing going on, I would like to completely step away from the AI trade. Added more to MELI, FIG, RDDT, while opening up a big bet on ISRG, a company I've been following for years but never felt comfortable enough to go in on.

uibrethen99

Love me some ASML and ISRG and also looking into HONA

Lil_Sperm

I noticed health sector had a pretty good day too, I’ve been thinking of entering a position in something next time they dip. UNH and some others seemed to start rebounding on Thursday, but others like AZN, UHS, and ISRG pleasantly surprised me!

Added to my positions in IBKR (7% more shares), IOT (14%), ISRG (8%), NOW (14%), NU (6%), TYL (23%), VEEV (15%), GWRE (14%), PRCT (12%), QXO (15%), and NTDOY (6%).

Find a true disruptor: a company with a product that will genuinely change the way we do things. Look for a strong cash position, strong leadership, and a wide moat. Look at ISRG (Intuitive Surgical) from the mid 2000’s as a shining example of this. Understand that share price will likely be quite volatile, bit ride it out as long as the conditions I started with hold true.

jatomozem

Nah, computer can have AI via cloud. However what I think is underrated, is robotics in manufacturing/warehouse/logistical hubs. Fully automated warehouse that can sort items, process orders and load truck 24/7 with almost no mistakes at shorter time then human can, would be one time investment and then electrical and repair bills down the road, is same as when cars switched from hand made to manufacturing line. So far I noted myself SYM.US, ISRG.US but have to do more DD and look for more players.

milanello09

META and ISRG below 400

Big_Fix9049

ISRG - wish me luck

tired_ani

Happy with how things are but something doesn’t feel right. Although not by design, portfolio is all in on the multi dimensional AI boom. Any suggestions for Mid or Large Cap companies that could act as a hedge to this? I can think of Nintendo (anti RAM bubble) , SAFRAN & TDG , Medical Devices (ISRG, SYK, BSX) .
