Intuitive Surgical Soars 4.64% as Strong Financials Drive Third Day of Gains

On May 12th, Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) experienced a notable surge, rising by 4.64%, continuing its upward trajectory for the third consecutive day. Within these days, the stock has seen an increase of 4.32%, with the highest intraday price reaching its peak since March 2025.

Analysts point to Intuitive Surgical's robust financial performance as a key driver for the stock's upward movement. On April 23rd, the company released its first-quarter report for fiscal year 2025, indicating revenue of $22.53 billion — a significant rise of 19.19% compared to the previous year. Furthermore, the net profit showed an even more impressive growth of 28.55%, totaling $7.04 billion.

Founded on November 9, 1995, Intuitive Surgical has carved a niche for itself in the healthcare equipment sector through its innovative da Vinci Surgical Systems. This system combines advanced instrumentation with a surgeon-controlled console, patient-side cart, and a high-performance visual system. Intuitive Surgical asserts that the da Vinci system represents the future of surgery, melding the benefits of minimally invasive procedures with the ease, precision, and dexterity of open surgery.

The da Vinci Surgical System translates the surgeon's hand movements at the console into corresponding miniaturized actions of instruments within the patient's body, all executed through small incisions or ports. The system is engineered to provide surgeons with intuitive controls, extensive range of motion, intricate tissue handling capabilities, and a 3D, high-definition (HD) view, while facilitating operations via MIS's less invasive ports.
