Is Intuitive Surgical Stock a Buy?
Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG) has provided market-beating returns since it first went public back in 2000, but at the moment, many investors are skeptical of the company's prospects. Intuitive Surgical generates much of its revenue from the sale of instruments and accessories for its da Vinci Surgical System, which is used in a number of procedures performed at hospitals. As a result, Intuitive Surgical's first-quarter results took a hit, and the company opted to withdraw its full-year guidance.
