# ISRG's Post-Earnings Plunge Opens Up an Opportunity

The post-earnings plunge in Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) opens up an opportunity for the bulls after a report that was far better than the share-price reaction suggests. Investors seized on slower U.S. procedures and an unchanged full-year growth guidance, pushing ISRG down about 12% before the July 17 open. Yet revenue, earnings, placements, and recurring sales all grew at exceptional rates for this robotic surgical systems manufacturer.

I see temporary nervousness in a remarkably healthy growth story, while the lower price finally makes the valuation much easier to defend. For this reason, I am bullish on ISRG.
