What's driving ISRG's price action

The story driving ISRG right now: Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) is a screaming buy despite recent underperformance, as its new da Vinci 5 system, with advanced features and potential for AI integration, is expected to expand its market and drive higher-margin recurring revenue from instruments and accessories through increased procedure volume.
