The company's primary customers are hospitals, surgical centers, and healthcare providers seeking advanced minimally invasive surgical and diagnostic capabilities.

Intuitive Surgical develops proprietary platforms for minimally invasive surgery, operating in the United States and internationally.

Its integrated ecosystem of hardware, software, and services supports both clinical outcomes and operational efficiency for healthcare providers.

Foolish take

Masso Torrence Wealth Management opened a position with Intuitive Surgical in the second quarter of 2025, making it 1.3% of the firm's portfolio.

However, just one quarter later, Masso Terrence has completely liquidated the stock.

While it is impossible for someone outside the firm to decipher why they sold so quickly, it is safe to say they may already regret the decision.

Just a couple of weeks after the third quarter ended, Intuitive Surgical reported blowout earnings that caused the stock to rise by 16% in a single day.

Though Intuitive Surgical's stock almost always looks expensive valuation-wise -- it currently trades at 73 times earnings -- the company appears to be a Rule Breaker in every sense of the label.

Growing its Da Vinci procedures, Da Vinci installments, and revenue by 19%, 13%, and 23% in Q3, Intuitive Surgical's growth continued to reaccelerate as the company demonstrated it remains the leader in its robotic surgery niche.

With over 10,000 Da Vinci systems installed worldwide, Intuitive Surgical now collects 84% of its sales from recurring revenue like accessories, services, and instrument leases.

While Masso Torrence may be selling, I was lucky enough to have bought before earnings and will look to keep adding after, even with its share price rebounding higher.
