New York, January 6, 2026, 21:40 EST — Market closed
- Intuitive Surgical shares closed up 4.7% on Tuesday, extending a two-day rise
- Focus turns to the company’s Jan. 14 conference presentation and Jan. 22 quarterly call
- Traders watch Wednesday’s U.S. data for interest-rate cues that can sway growth stocks
Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) shares rose 4.7% on Tuesday to close at $592.85, outpacing several large-cap medical device peers as U.S. stocks advanced broadly. 1
The gain left the surgical-robot maker about 3.8% below its 52-week high of $616, a level some investors view as a near-term marker after the stock’s sharp run since early January. 1
That matters now because Intuitive is entering a stretch when management commentary can reset expectations, with investors looking for early signals on demand and margins before the next earnings update. 2
Tuesday’s session was active. ISRG traded about 2.6 million shares, above its 50-day average of 1.8 million, and swung between roughly $564 and $595, market data showed. 1
Intuitive is scheduled to present at the 44th Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference on Jan. 14. It has also listed a fourth-quarter 2025 earnings conference call for Jan. 22 at 1:30 p.m. PST (4:30 p.m. ET). 3
Investors will be listening for updates on procedure growth, hospital capital spending and gross margin — the share of revenue left after production costs — after the company previously raised its 2025 adjusted gross margin forecast in its October results. 4
Still, the setup cuts both ways. Intuitive trades at a premium to many medtech peers, and any sign of slower procedure growth, pricing pressure, or higher costs could sharpen the stock’s swings into results. 1
Before the next session, traders also face a slate of U.S. releases on Wednesday including ADP employment, the ISM services index and the JOLTS job openings report, all of which can move rate expectations and high-multiple stocks. The next company checkpoints are Jan. 14 and Jan. 22. 5
