Based on: 10-Q (reporting date: 2026-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2026-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2026-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2025-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-03-31).
The solvency profile is characterized by a highly stable and low level of financial leverage over the observed period. Due to the absence of data for debt-to-equity, debt-to-capital, and debt-to-assets ratios, the analysis of the company's long-term solvency is based exclusively on the financial leverage ratio.
- Financial Leverage Analysis
- The financial leverage ratio exhibited minimal volatility between March 2022 and June 2026, maintaining a narrow range between 1.12 and 1.17. An initial gradual increase occurred throughout 2022, reaching a temporary peak of 1.17 by December 31, 2022. This was followed by a period of relative stability through 2023, with the ratio fluctuating marginally around 1.16 and 1.17.
- A downward correction was observed starting in early 2024, with the ratio descending to a period low of 1.12 by March 31, 2025. Following this trough, a consistent upward trajectory began, moving from 1.12 in March 2025 to 1.15 by June 2026.
- A notable spike is observed in the final reporting period, where the financial leverage ratio rose to 1.21 by September 30, 2026. This represents the highest leverage level within the analyzed timeframe, indicating a shift in the composition of the balance sheet toward a higher proportion of assets relative to equity.

1 Q3 2026 Calculation
Debt to equity = Total debt ÷ Total Intuitive Surgical, Inc. stockholders’ equity
= 0 ÷ 15,986,200 = 0.00
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The solvency profile is characterized by a complete absence of total debt across all reported quarters from March 31, 2022, through September 30, 2026. This lack of recorded debt obligations indicates a financial strategy that avoids external borrowing, relying exclusively on equity and internal capital to fund operations.
- Debt to Equity Ratio
- Because total debt remains at zero throughout the entire period, the debt to equity ratio is effectively zero. This reflects a zero-leverage capital structure, which eliminates risks associated with interest expense and debt maturity, positioning the entity with an exceptionally high degree of solvency.
- Stockholders' Equity Fluctuations
- Total stockholders' equity exhibited an initial downward trend, decreasing from 12.1 billion USD in March 2022 to a minimum of 11.0 billion USD by December 2022. This was followed by a sustained period of growth over several years, reaching a peak of 18.2 billion USD in March 2026. A notable decrease occurred in the final reported quarter, with equity falling to approximately 16.0 billion USD by September 30, 2026.

1 Q3 2026 Calculation
Debt to capital = Total debt ÷ Total capital
= 0 ÷ 15,986,200 = 0.00
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The solvency profile is characterized by a complete absence of reported total debt across the entire analyzed period from March 31, 2022, to September 30, 2026. This indicates a capital structure funded entirely through equity and retained earnings, resulting in a zero-leverage financial position.
- Debt to Capital Ratio
- The ratio remains constant at zero throughout the observed timeframe. Because no debt is recorded against the total capital, there is no reliance on external borrowed funds to finance operations or growth, eliminating interest-rate risk and debt-related solvency concerns.
- Total Capital Trends
- Total capital exhibited a general upward trajectory for the majority of the period. After reaching a low of 11.04 billion US dollars in December 2022, capital grew consistently to a peak of 18.17 billion US dollars by June 30, 2026. This growth suggests a strong accumulation of equity or capital reserves over several years.
- Capital Volatility
- Despite the overall growth trend, fluctuations are observed in the latter part of the period. Specifically, capital decreased to 16.93 billion US dollars in September 2025 and experienced a notable decline to 15.99 billion US dollars by September 30, 2026, following the June 2026 peak.

1 Q3 2026 Calculation
Debt to assets = Total debt ÷ Total assets
= 0 ÷ 19,349,100 = 0.00
2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The solvency profile of the organization is characterized by a complete absence of reported total debt throughout the period from March 2022 to September 2026. This indicates a financial structure that does not utilize debt financing to support its operations or asset base, resulting in a risk-averse leverage position.
- Total Asset Trends
- Total assets experienced a period of slight contraction during 2022, declining from 13.68 billion USD in March to 12.97 billion USD by December. Following this period, a consistent growth trend emerged starting in March 2023, with assets expanding steadily to reach a peak of 20.88 billion USD in June 2026. While some quarterly volatility is observed toward the end of the sequence, the overall trajectory reflects a significant increase in the organization's resource base over the analyzed timeframe.
- Debt to Assets Ratio Analysis
- Because total debt remained at zero for all reported quarters, the debt to assets ratio is effectively zero. This absence of leverage, coupled with the general expansion of total assets, indicates an exceptionally strong solvency position. The organization operates without the burden of interest obligations or the financial risk associated with debt repayment, providing high flexibility for capital allocation.

The financial structure of the organization is characterized by an exceptionally low reliance on debt, with the vast majority of assets being financed through stockholders' equity. Throughout the period from March 2022 to September 2026, the capital structure remained remarkably stable, indicating a conservative approach to financial leverage and a strong internal funding capacity.
- Asset and Equity Growth Trends
- Total assets exhibited a general upward trajectory, growing from $13.68 billion in March 2022 to a peak of $20.88 billion in June 2026. This expansion was closely mirrored by stockholders' equity, which rose from $12.10 billion in March 2022 to $18.17 billion in June 2026. A brief period of contraction occurred between June and December 2022, after which both metrics entered a sustained growth phase through mid-2026.
- Financial Leverage Ratio Stability
- The financial leverage ratio remained highly consistent, fluctuating within a narrow band between 1.12 and 1.17 for the majority of the observed period. The ratio reached its lowest point of 1.12 in March 2025, signifying a peak in equity-to-asset proportion. This stability suggests that asset growth was systematically funded by equity increases, maintaining a low-risk solvency profile.
- Late Period Volatility
- A divergence in the trend is observed in the final quarter ending September 30, 2026. During this period, the financial leverage ratio increased to 1.21, the highest value in the dataset. This increase coincided with a simultaneous decline in both total assets and stockholders' equity, with the reduction in equity being more pronounced than the reduction in assets, thereby increasing the relative leverage.
