Intuitive Surgical (ISRG US) Q1 revenue and EPS beat consensus. High-teens procedure volume growth is the brightest spot and management raised full-year 2022 procedure growth guidance to 12–16%.
After a strong placement in last couple of quarters, Intuitive is seeing some near-term softening of its system placement pipeline in the U.S.
In near-term, macro headwinds including regional waves of COVID, staffing pressure at hospitals, component and raw material availability, and logistic delays will remain biggest overhang for the company.
