Intuitive Surgical Inc. (ISRG-Q)

Company has performed very well the past year.
Excellent business model with high cash flow margins.
Long growth runway.
Has recently sold due to high share price valuation (60x P/E ratio).
Better names in sector with cheaper valuation.

Good company, strong growth area. Medical device technology is changing rapidly, and competition will increase, but this company has an edge. He prefers SYK because of its diversification.

He is still waiting to get into a position. You are paying a higher multiple for 20% annualized growth. It is dominant in robotic assisted surgery devices which improve surgery results. It is a $20 billion market which is expected to double in the next few years. Higher growth stocks do get impacted by higher interest rates.

Soared during lockdowns, but got obliterated when the Fed declared war on inflation and names like this got hit. It lost more than half its value and has rebounded partly. Early this year, they pre-announced disappointing number though the company is still growing. Has a good track record over the past 10 years.
