Intuitive Surgical stock performance metrics

Here are some common key metrics for Intuitive Surgical stock that analysts often use to help gauge a stock's value—P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

• Intuitive Surgical's P/E ratio

  Intuitive Surgical's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over the past 12 months gives a trailing price/earnings (P/E) ratio of roughly 73x. In other words, Intuitive Surgical shares trade at around 73 times recent earnings.

  That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the stock or simply that they're over-valued.

• Intuitive Surgical's PEG ratio

  Intuitive Surgical's price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio is calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its earnings growth, which comes out to about 3.3892. A lower ratio can suggest a stock offers better value, while a higher ratio may suggest worse value.

  The PEG ratio provides a broader view than the P/E ratio alone, as it factors in Intuitive Surgical's expected earnings growth. By accounting for growth, investors can use the PEG ratio to compare the valuations of multiple high-growth companies.

• Intuitive Surgical's EBITDA

  Intuitive Surgical's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is $3.4 billion. EBITDA is a measure of a company's overall financial performance and is often used as a proxy for a company's profitability.

Has Intuitive Surgical stock ever split?

Intuitive Surgical's stocks were split on a 3:1 basis on October 4, 2021. So, if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Intuitive Surgical stocks, just the quantity.

However, indirectly, the new 66.7% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Intuitive Surgical stocks, which in turn could have impacted Intuitive Surgical's stock price.

How volatile is Intuitive Surgical stock?

Over the last 12 months, Intuitive Surgical's stocks price has ranged from $425.00 to as high as $616.00. Intuitive Surgical's beta measurement of stock volatility is 1.69. For comparison, the market () average beta is 1. This would suggest that Intuitive Surgical's stocks are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
