Better Buy: Intuitive Surgical vs. Johnson & Johnson
Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG) enjoyed a virtual monopoly in the robotic surgical systems market for quite a while. But Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) has made several moves that could position it to be a formidable competitor to Intuitive. The most significant of those moves was J&J's acquisition of Auris Health last year, which was founded by Intuitive Surgical founder Fred Moll.
It's not even a close contest between Intuitive Surgical and J&J when it comes to recent stock performance. Intuitive has eaten Johnson & Johnson's lunch. But which stock is the better pick looking ahead?
