Company snapshot — Intuitive Surgical Inc

ISRG in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelooknet stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does
Intuitive Surgical designs, builds and sells robotic systems that let surgeons carry out minimally invasive operations through small incisions. Its main product, the da Vinci system, guides instruments during surgery, and it also makes the Ion system for lung biopsies reached through the airway. Revenue comes first from the equipment, then from the instruments, service contracts and training hospitals buy on an ongoing basis. It sells through its own direct sales teams and is based in Sunnyvale, California.
Where it sits in the stack
Intuitive Surgical carries no seat in Rubin, our AI hardware build-out index; it sits instead in the HALO Growth 100, our growth index outside the megacaps, inside the Surgical, Med Devices & Animal Health sleeve — regulated devices with long replacement cycles rather than build-out capital equipment.
Who it is priced against
Closelooknet's peer group for this sleeve groups it with Globus Medical, IDEXX Laboratories, Sonova, Stryker, Sartorius, DexCom and Insulet, businesses built on robotic surgery, glucose sensors, hearing devices and animal-health platforms behind regulated moats. The market also names Medtronic as a comparable in robotic and surgical systems.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
It holds seats in the Nasdaq-100 and the HALO Growth 100; Closelooknet's score shows the balance sheet module as strongest and momentum as weakest. The diary has quoted it once, in a dossier on agentic software, noting that it is embedding AI into robotic surgery.
What the diary watches
The diary watches whether the momentum reading moves off its current low point and whether the AI features described in robotic surgery move from a stated ambition into something hospitals actually buy.

Intuitive Surgical Inc (ISRG) trades on US exchanges, classified under Healthcare. Constituent of HALO Growth 100.

  • Grid — 1×1 up to 2×2. Cells are synchronized: pan or zoom one and the others follow the same dates; the crosshair tracks across all of them. 4 INDICES loads Rubin · HALO · AEI · AW40 side by side.
  • Type / Scale — OHLC, line or area; linear or log price axis.

Picking a series

  • Tap the box in a cell's header to browse every Closelooknet series — headline indices, sub-indices, sectors, layers of all six families — plus the constituents.
  • Or type any ticker (NVDA, 7203.T, ASML.AS …) and press Enter — it charts in the cell straight from our data lake.

Studies

  • Overlays / Oscillators rows toggle the standard set (SMA, Bollinger, RSI, MACD …) per cell.
  • Levels (stock cells) draws the structure engine's support lines — regression bands, pivot cluster, SMA-200, the active fib zone.

Drawing

  • Tap a tool (Trend, Ray, H-Line, Fib, Channel, Rect, Note), then tap the chart once per point — the shape follows your finger or cursor between taps. The chart stops panning while a tool is armed; tap the tool again to release.
  • Drawings save per symbol in this browser and travel between the terminal and the asset page.
  • Delete key removes the selected drawing · Escape cancels a half-placed one · Clear wipes the symbol.

Wave counts

  • Wave places an Elliott count: tap the origin, then each wave end. Press Enter to stop early (inside wave 3 is fine) — dotted ghost targets sketch the remaining waves at guideline ratios.
  • On stocks the scanner's machine count appears automatically in grey — it is fully editable: drag any point, double-tap a label to remove it, Delete to dismiss it for good, Adopt to bring the machine's proposal back.
  • The sequence picker switches 1-5 / A-B-C / A-E / W-X-Y-Z; 1 2 3 cycles the degree; Subdiv starts a one-degree-smaller child count inside a wave.
