The Quality Score for ISRG stands at 6.9 out of 10 as of October 19, 2026, which puts Intuitive Surgical Inc. in the solid quality band. This band covers companies that do several things well but not everything, so the pillar detail below matters more than the headline. It rolls Intuitive Surgical Inc.’s profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability into one number, each judged against the norms of its sector.
Among the 212 Healthcare companies with a published score, that ranks at the 87th percentile, among the stronger quarter of the group. A typical company in the group scores 4.4, and the best quarter starts from 6.0. Intuitive Surgical Inc. is well above that typical reading.
Intuitive Surgical Inc.’s profitability score is 7.7 out of 10 (strong). Against a median of 2.7 among 210 Healthcare companies, that is well above the group and the 89th percentile. High profitability means each unit of capital and of sales is turning into more profit than at most of its peers, which is usually the first sign of pricing power or a cost advantage.
Solvency has no score for Intuitive Surgical Inc. Fewer than half of the pillar’s metric weight could be computed from the reported statements, so it is drawn as a dash and left out of the overall rather than counted as a zero. For context, the median solvency score across 150 Healthcare companies is 6.5. Without it the overall says nothing about how comfortably the company carries its debt.
Growth scores 6.8 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 107 Healthcare companies is 4.9, so Intuitive Surgical Inc. is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 73rd percentile. A middling growth reading is typical of a mature company whose next step depends on reinvestment rather than on its market growing for it.
On efficiency, Intuitive Surgical Inc. scores 5.6, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 6.0 across 200 Healthcare companies, which places it in line with them, at the 43rd percentile. An average efficiency reading suggests the business turns its assets and earnings into cash at roughly the rate its sector does.
On predictability, Intuitive Surgical Inc. scores 6.9, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 3.4 across 207 Healthcare companies, which places it well above them, at the 87th percentile. Consistency near the median is typical, and it is worth checking whether the swings came from the business itself or from one-off items.
Profitability at 7.7 is Intuitive Surgical Inc.’s best pillar and efficiency at 5.6 its weakest. The 2.1 point gap between them is worth keeping in mind when reading the overall. A profitability lead usually reflects something durable in the business model rather than a good year. Weak efficiency can reflect a heavy investment phase, which only pays off if the investment earns a return.
Intuitive Surgical Inc. has no pillar below the median of Healthcare companies, which leaves little room to rise. Its exposure is to slippage instead, and profitability carries the most weight: one point less there would mean an overall of roughly 6.6 rather than 6.9. With one pillar unscored, the overall rests on 80 of the 100 weight points, spread across the four pillars that could be measured (the full set is profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20).

Each metric is scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks, where higher is better. Metrics roll up into five pillars, and the pillars combine into the overall score using the weights shown. Sector-sensitive metrics are judged relative to peers in the same sector.
This score is a systematic, backward-looking read of reported fundamentals. It does not judge valuation, management quality, competitive moat, or future prospects, and can be distorted by one-off items or unusual accounting. Treat it as a starting point, not a recommendation.
