Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISRG) is among the stocks featured in Jim Cramer's game plan for this week. Cramer expressed a positive outlook on the company's upcoming quarterly report.
"What else? I think that the lone surprise blowout next week will come from Intuitive Surgical, which had a monster quarter last time. But I bet that the numbers still aren't high enough. That means that the estimates can go higher. One day, these upside surprises will come to an end, I think, because competition from Medtronic may matter. Even J&J wants in this. Not yet," Cramer said.
During an episode that aired on October 22, 2025, Cramer discussed the company further. He referenced its recent stock movement and the utilization of its Da Vinci surgical system.
"When you want amazing and you get amazing and your stock's up a lot, you'll, well, then you'll probably get a pullback. Now, I want you to contrast all this with the best-performing stock in today's session, which is… Intuitive Surgical. Here's a company that fell out of favor as there hadn't been as much utilization of their incredible Da Vinci surgical machine of late," Cramer stated.
Intuitive Surgical designs and manufactures robotic systems and instruments for minimally invasive surgical and diagnostic procedures.
