Is Intuitive Surgical stock undervalued or overvalued?

Intuitive Surgical's P/E ratio

That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the stock or simply that they're over-valued.

Intuitive Surgical's PEG ratio

Intuitive Surgical's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.6381. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer worse value.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Intuitive Surgical's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Have Intuitive Surgical's stocks ever split?

Intuitive Surgical's stocks were split on a 3:1 basis on 4 October 2021 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Intuitive Surgical stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 66.7% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Intuitive Surgical stocks, which in turn could have impacted Intuitive Surgical's stock price.

Intuitive Surgical stock price volatility
