9. Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (NASDAQ:ISRG)

Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (NASDAQ:ISRG) was among the stocks Jim Cramer highlighted, as he discussed the massive AI infrastructure buildout. A caller asked for Cramer’s thoughts on the company, and he said:

Here’s the thing: Both J&J and Medtronic claim they’ve got competitors. And I am worried that one of those two is going to hit pay dirt, and that is going to hurt Intuitive Surgical.

Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (NASDAQ:ISRG) designs and manufactures robotic systems and instruments that enable minimally invasive surgical and diagnostic procedures. During the March 19 episode, a caller asked which metric is the most important for the company. In response, Cramer commented:

It’s hospital utilization, and what gets me down here is that the stock, the earnings are good, but the multiple is too high. And when I say that, you have to go back to How to Make Money in Any Market. My book spends a lot of time about the idea that, you know what, if the multiple’s too high, it doesn’t matter what the sales are and the earnings [are], it’s just not going to be able to go higher. And that’s going on with Intuitive. It’s just gotten too expensive per share.
