In the future, Intuitive plans to keep producing new robotic tools and platforms to sell to new and existing customers.

Notably, there's nothing comparable that would lock a user into the Shiba Inu ecosystem to preserve the coin's long-term value. When Intuitive sells a Da Vinci system to a hospital, the surgeons using the system need to be trained, thereby imparting a sunk cost which makes it harder to justify switching to another solution. Plus, there's a low risk of losing customers to the competition. More procedures are being performed using Da Vinci units every year, which means that demand for consumables will be rising. As a result, total revenue grew by 17% in Q4, bringing Intuitive to a grand total of $5.7 billion in trailing revenue. In the fourth quarter, sales of these accessories brought in $843 million, and sales of surgical units were worth $470 million. Like Align Technology, Intuitive is a canonical growth stock that's profitable, is expanding consistently, and has a strong recurring base of revenue.įor every Da Vinci suite sold, the company can expect a drumbeat of income from sales of software packages, maintenance contracts, replacement tool heads, and other consumable necessities. Intuitive Surgical ( ISRG 1.00% ) makes robotic surgical technology, including the legendary Da Vinci surgical suite. With consumer interest like that, it won't take much else for the stock to outperform Shiba Inu this year. The Asia-Pacific region will be the center of future growth, and the company has already seen a 1,200% increase in the number of website visitors from major markets like India.


It has a 10% share of the global market for teeth straighteners, 54% of which is concentrated in the Americas. To keep up these results moving forward, all Align needs to do is to keep penetrating its international markets.
