Leerink says Intuitive Surgical secures DV5 CE mark ‘ahead of expectations’

Leerink notes that Outperform-rated Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) has received CE mark for da Vinci 5 across a variety of surgical procedures. This approval comes slightly ahead of prior management commentary suggesting CE mark near year-end 2025, the firm adds. Leerink views this as an incremental positive with the potential for greater-than-expected outside-U.S. DV5 contribution in the second half of 2025, though it thinks the degree to which Intuitive’s outside-U.S. DV5 launch will prove to be a meaningful near-term growth driver in Europe compared to its strong initial success following its launch in the U.S. remains unclear.
