ISRG - Institutional Conviction Meets Relative StrengthIntuitive Surgical, Inc.BATS:ISRGonlytrade2win#ISRG -the "A" grade stock i'm watching for 15 years... While the Nasdaq puked 1.9% yesterday and AI stocks shed $500B in value, Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) quietly held the after earnings gap and is eyeing new highs. This is what institutional buying looks like when conviction meets opportunity. The Setup: Crushed Q3 earnings Oct 21: $2.40 EPS vs $1.99 est (20% beat) Revenue: $2.51B vs $2.41B expected Gapped up and HELD for two weeks 83.64% institutional ownership - the smart money is loaded Yesterday's Action: Market environment: Tech bloodbath, fear everywhere ISRG response: Breakout to $548 This is textbook relative strength. When a stock refuses to go down with its sector and instead breaks out, institutions are telling you something. The Fundamental Story: 20% global procedure growth (da Vinci robots) da Vinci 5 adoption accelerating beyond expectations 100,000+ procedures completed on new platform No real competition in robotic surgery!! The Trade I 'Missed': I was busy. Away from the desk. Classic. The best setups always happen when you're not watching. But that's exactly what makes this worth sharing - if you're looking at healthcare/medtech and wondering what has real institutional support, this is your answer. Current Price: $560 ATH: $616 (Jan 2025) When institutions own 83.64% of a stock and it breaks out during a sector-wide selloff, they're not done buying. They're just getting started. Not financial advice. Just what I'm watching, now getting in will be tricky, but this one is surely worth the watch. What are you seeing in medtech/robotics?
