Management’s own words, often on a non-GAAP, constant-currency, or adjusted basis — so these can differ from the GAAP figures above (e.g. constant-currency revenue growth excludes currency swings).
Intuitive Surgical delivered robust Q1 2026 results with revenue up 23% to $2.77 billion and GAAP EPS of $2.28, up from $1.92 in the prior year, as total procedures grew 17% across all platforms. Management raised FY2026 da Vinci procedure growth guidance to 13.5-15.5% and non-GAAP gross margin to 67.5-68.5%, reflecting innovation-led revenue premiums above procedure growth. Force Feedback instrumentation broadened availability, and SP platform expansion continued with stapler and new procedure additions. China market headwinds persisted but strong operating margin leverage and cost execution supported earnings growth.
