Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ:ISRG) are down more than 7% since the start of January. Investors apparently weren t thrilled with the company s fourth-quarter numbers, which came in Thursday evening, and the stock fell 6.84% on Friday.

Net revenue in the quarter was a reported $1.3 billion, a rise of 4% year over year, and net income was $365 million, compared to $358 million in the same quarter in 2019.
