Analysis · ISRG · Industrial Applications And Services
Intuitive Surgical's fourth-quarter 2025 performance was strong, marked by a 19% increase in revenue and a 14.5% rise in non-GAAP diluted EPS, driven by robust procedure volumes and da Vinci system placements. However, the company's outlook for 2026 projects da Vinci procedure growth of 13-15%, a notable deceleration from the 18% growth achieved in 2025. While still healthy, this moderated growth guidance for a key metric could influence investor sentiment, as the market often prioritizes future growth prospects for high-valuation companies.
