Welcome, Investors!

While the market chases the next shiny object, some companies just keep showing up and delivering — quietly, consistently, and profitably. That’s exactly what’s happening with Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG). You won’t see it trending on meme boards, but behind the scenes, it’s been one of the best-performing stocks of the past two decades.

In this newsletter, I’m unpacking why $ISRG ( ▲ 0.17% ) could be one of the most reliable wealth-compounders out there:

📊 The 20-Year Power Play – From $100 to $10,000
If you’d put just $100 into ISRG 20 years ago, you’d be sitting on nearly $10,000 today. That’s a 26.1% average annual return — not a fluke, but the product of a business built on consistent growth, market leadership, and surgical precision (literally).

💰 Earnings Momentum & Market Confidence
ISRG isn’t just beating earnings — it’s doing it consistently. Last quarter alone? $2.21 EPS on $2.41B in revenue — a 25.2% YoY growth beat. And with EPS projected to hit $7.97 this year and $9.37 by 2026, the runway is real. The company has a history of post-earnings pops too — 58% of the time, the stock rises the day after. The next earnings report is April 22, and I’m watching closely.

🏛️ The Business Model Moat – da Vinci’s Recurring Revenue Empire
ISRG’s da Vinci system isn’t just revolutionary tech — it’s a sticky, cash-generating platform. Hospitals keep coming back for instruments, servicing, and upgrades. That creates a powerful stream of recurring revenue, with margins and retention that most SaaS companies would envy.

📉 The Valuation Trade-Off – Expensive, But Worth It
Yes, ISRG trades at a premium — but that premium is earned. With a forward P/E below its 10-year average and fundamentals that are rock solid, it’s not a hype stock. It’s a quality compounder priced for performance, not speculation.

This isn’t a moonshot. It’s a wealth machine. A rare case of a company that moves with the discipline of a blue chip but grows like a disruptor. And in today’s unpredictable market? That kind of stability is gold.

If you’re looking for a long-term hold, a business with real global scale, and a product that’s literally saving lives while compounding capital — Intuitive Surgical is one to watch.

Let’s invest with clarity, and let the numbers do the talking. 💼🔬📈
