This explanation uses an earlier data snapshot or evidence version. Review its generation date and the current figures, or refresh after signing in.
If you believe ISRG can sustain 20%+ revenue growth and premium margins for an extended period, then holding or accumulating on weakness can be justified because the business quality is clearly superior to L; otherwise, the current valuation already implies too much optimism relative to the DCF and L ranges.
ISRG trades at a very large valuation premium to L on every earnings and sales multiple provided, yet the comparison partner is not a clean operating L, so the gap is more a reflection of business quality than direct mispricing. The stock also sits near the upper end of its historical band and far above the DCF range, implying limited margin of safety at the current price.
