Cantor Fitzgerald maintains a 'Hold' on Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG) price target of $475.00.

Analyst, Jeremy Feffer, said, "Although Intuitive again beat on unit sales, revenues and EPS, procedure growth was a bit light of the Street (although within the guidance range) while Europe was somewhat of a trouble spot. Overall it was a solid quarter, but with a multiple north of 30x, solid is not sufficient...With a forward P/E of 31x and P/E/G of 1.8x (vs. its peers' 17x and 1.4x, respectively), we would still prefer to wait until the risk/reward profile looks more favorable to us."
