Tariffs could cut 2025 revenue by 1.7%, firm says

Intuitive Surgical reported a strong Q1 2025, with $2.25B in revenue and $703.7M net income, both up 19% year-over-year. The company also beat analyst expectations with adjusted EPS of $1.81 vs. $1.73 projected.

Key Metrics:

  • 367 da Vinci systems placed, including 147 da Vinci 5 units
  • 17% growth in global procedures
  • 2025 procedure growth forecast: 15–17%

Despite the strong performance, tariff pressures loom, with a projected 1.7% hit to revenue, contributing to a drop in expected gross profit margin from 69.1% in 2024 to 65–66.5% in 2025.

CEO Gary Guthart affirmed focus on customer outcomes, access to care, and cost efficiency while acknowledging risks tied to evolving trade dynamics.
