New York, January 6, 2026, 21:40 EST — Market closed 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.

New York, Jan 6, 2026, 21:10 EST — Market closed Home Depot shares (HD.N) ended Tuesday up 1.51% at $349.29, while major U.S. stock indexes closed higher in a risk-on session.
