Goldman Sachs lifted its price target on Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG) from $576 to $604 but kept its Neutral rating following strong Q1 results after the close.

The firm notes both system placements and procedure volumes continue to surprise to the upside. While trends in Europe remain weak, the U.S. and the rest of the world continue to see strength. Also, the company continue to grow the "other" procedure category. This said, the firm sees limited upside to guidance unless the operating environment in Europe improves or if there is a sharp inflection point in new product adoption.
