With a market cap of $193 billion, Intuitive’s operations span 70+ countries in the Americas, Indo-Pacific and the EMEA region.

Companies worth $10 billion or more are generally described as "large-cap stocks," and Intuitive fits this bill perfectly. Given its dominance in the minimally invasive care space, its valuation above this mark is not surprising. Every 13.8 seconds a surgeon starts a procedure using the company’s da Vinci system.
