BTIG analyst Ryan Zimmerman raised the firm’s price target on Intuitive Surgical to $316 from $247 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares as part of a broader research note on Medical Technology. 2023 is set to be a better year for the industry following 2022 underperformance due to rising oil prices, a challenging supply chain, currency headwinds, inflation, and staffing shortages, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Lower oil prices, improving inflation, strong employment, and improving procedure recovery form the basis for his better outlook in MedTech in 2023, Zimmerman adds.
