In 2000, Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG) went public at $9 per share and launched its da Vinci surgical system. The company's focus on improving medical outcomes and reducing hospitalization and recovery times has benefited patients around the world -- and worked wonders for shareholders.
And for investors who missed out on those first couple decades of gains, it's not too late to buy in: Intuitive Surgical's global installed base of robots and the recurring revenue they generate has it set to keep delivering market-beating returns for the foreseeable future.
