what happened

Intuitive Surgical reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $3.05B, up 22% from a year earlier, according to a TradingView summary of the company's 10-Q filing. Net income attributable to the company fell to $522.8M from $704.4M, and diluted EPS came in at $1.49 versus $1.95 a year earlier.

Revenue growth was driven by an 18% rise in instruments and accessories and a 30% increase in system sales. The da Vinci installed base reached 12,094 systems (up 12%), including 2,023 da Vinci 5 systems, and about 906K procedures were performed in the quarter (up 14%). The Ion platform installed base grew to 1,152 systems (up 21%), with procedures up 31%. The company also recognized IEEPA tariff refunds that supported its gross margin.

why it matters

Revenue growing faster than profit points to pressure on profitability, although tariff refunds helped margins. Investors in the medtech sector will focus on growth in the installed base and procedures, as well as the leasing share: 53% of Q3 system placements were leases with usage-based revenue.
