Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (ISRG) Crossed Above the 200-Day Moving Average: What That Means for Investors

Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (ISRG) is looking like an interesting pick from a technical perspective, as the company reached a key level of support. Recently, ISRG crossed above the 200-day moving average, suggesting a long-term bullish trend.

A useful tool for traders and analysts, the 200-day simple moving average helps determine long-term market trends for stocks, commodities, indexes, and other financial instruments. It moves higher or lower in conjunction with longer-term price performance, and serves as a support or resistance level.

Shares of ISRG have been moving higher over the past four weeks, up 8.9%. Plus, the company is currently a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stock, suggesting that ISRG could be poised for a continued surge.

The bullish case only gets stronger once investors take into account ISRG's positive earnings estimate revisions. There have been 2 higher compared to none lower for the current fiscal year, and the consensus estimate has moved up as well.

Investors should think about putting ISRG on their watchlist given the ultra-important technical indicator and positive move in earnings estimate revisions.
