SUMMARY

Intuitive Surgical announced better-than-expected Q3 results, with revenue and EPS modestly beating consensus. Worldwide de Vinci procedures grew 20% y/y, despite negative impact from the resurgence of the COVID-19 in the U.S. The company reduced higher end of its 2021 procedure growth guidance by 100 basis points to 27–29% from 27–30% earlier. da Vinci system placement grew 72% y/y to 336, which should further augment procedure growth. Further delay in surgical robot launch by Johnson & Johnson enhances our conviction on continuation of Intuitive's leadership positioning.
