Dougherty & Co maintains a 'Buy' on Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG) price target of $670.00.

Analyst, Junaid Husain, said, "We’re staying BUY rated on Intuitive Surgical following solid 2Q:12 results, which included sales/EPS beats, higher 2012 Y/Y sales growth guidance, healthy ASPs, strong procedure growth, and solid traction of recently introduced new products. While we see some headwinds in the business (i.e., weakening prostatectomy market, soft international system sales), most of this is already well-known and should already be baked into expectations."

FY12 EPS estimate raised from $14.65 to $14.85 and FY13 from $16.70 to $17.00. Husain also raises FY12/13 revenue estimates.
