## Resource

Intuitive Surgical’s stock has soared over 400% in a decade, fueled by more than 11,000 installed da Vinci robots—and Wall Street’s relentless interest. While robot sales make up just 25% of revenue, the real profit engine is recurring revenue from services, instruments, and accessories, creating a self-reinforcing growth cycle. Though shares are down 30% from their peak and historically volatile, the current P/E of 49 is actually cheaper than its five-year average of 69. For aggressive investors, past crashes—including an 82% plunge—have always been followed by new highs, making today’s dip a compelling entry point into a company with a mature, cash-generating business model.
