Analysts believe the recent share price appreciation has reflected this business performance. Going forward BTIG believes Intuitive Surgical can continue to drive revenue and profit growth as demand has the potential to increase for its surgical products.

BTIG has modeled $2.67 billion in revenue and $22.21 EPS for the 2016 fiscal year.
