Intuitive Surgical Shows No Signs of Slowing Down

Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG) is the company behind the da Vinci surgical system, one of the leading robotic-assisted surgery devices on the market. The da Vinci system was first approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) back in 2000, and the innovative piece of tech has helped Intuitive Surgical perform incredibly well over the years. 

The company's shares are up by 236.4% over the past five years alone, whereas the S&P 500 is only up by 61.4% over the same period. Despite being about two decades old, though, Intuitive Surgical's signature da Vinci system continues to make headway, and the company's impressive run on the market is likely not over, at least if its latest earnings report is any indication.
