The GekkoIndex reads 53.2, placing the stock in the Neutral zone, with the reading down 10.8 over the past five sessions. Price stands 12.3% above Gekko Fair Value of $350.26. Over the past year the stock is down 9.3%, with a six-month decline of 18%.

This week's coverage centers on regulatory and product news alongside broader market moves. ISRG received a CE mark expanding its da Vinci SP single-port robot into transvaginal gynecologic procedures in Europe, building on a 2024 clearance. A separate meta-analysis covering 14 million procedures reported better perioperative outcomes for da Vinci versus laparoscopic and open surgery across 13 common conditions. Coverage also noted the company's continued investment in AI, software, and instrumentation within its surgical ecosystem, alongside broader market tailwinds from easing oil prices and lower Treasury yields.

Looking ahead, ISRG's next earnings report is scheduled for 20 October 2026 after the close, 30 days out and beyond a typical 20-trading-day holding window. The last report, on 16 July 2026, showed EPS of $2.80 against a $2.02 estimate, with an 11.2% price reaction; the company has beaten estimates in 8 of the last 8 quarters, with an average absolute reaction of 6.3%. Seasonality over the next 20 trading days has averaged -3% across 5 years, positive in just 1 of them. Analyst coverage stands at 19 buy, 3 hold, and 0 sell ratings across 22 firms, with a consensus target of $476.34.

Last earnings call, Jul 16, 2026 AI summary

What they said
ISRG reported Q2 with total procedures up 16%, da Vinci procedures +15%, and ION procedures +36%. Global installed base grew 12% (da Vinci) and 21% (ION), reaching ~13,000 systems worldwide. US da Vinci growth moderated to 12% amid patient coverage/deferral headwinds. International growth was strong at 20%, though China remains challenged. Q2 system placements were 468 da Vinci and 55 ION units.
Guidance
Management updated 2026 financial outlook acknowledging US procedure growth moderation from deferred elective procedures. International markets, particularly Japan policy tailwinds and India da Vinci 5 clearance, are expected to offset some US softness.
