Goldman Sachs Says the Crowd Is Wrong on This Beaten-Down Medical Robotics Giant
And Goldman Sachs may be right.
Overview
Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG) has faced challenges over the past 12 months, and its shares have declined by 26% during this period. However, some Wall Street analysts remain bullish on the stock, with several setting price targets that imply reasonable upside from current levels. Take David Roman, an analyst at Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS). He recently maintained a "buy" rating on the stock, giving it a 12-month price target of $558. That's 47% above Intuitive Surgical's current stock price. Should investors take Roman's advice and rush to buy the company's shares?

It's not clear that the company can solve these issues within the next six to 12 months. However, there are still great reasons to be bullish on Intuitive Surgical's long-term outlook. Consider the company's da Vinci 5.
