Solvency Ratios (Summary)
Intuitive Surgical Inc., solvency ratios (quarterly data)

The solvency profile exhibits a high degree of stability, characterized by a consistently low financial leverage ratio over the period from March 2022 through June 2026. The absence of reported values for debt-to-equity, debt-to-capital, and debt-to-assets ratios suggests a capital structure with minimal reliance on traditional debt obligations.
- Financial Leverage Analysis
- The financial leverage ratio remained within a tight range of 1.12 to 1.17. A slight upward trend was observed during the first year, moving from 1.13 in March 2022 to a peak of 1.17 in September 2022, a level that was subsequently maintained through September 2023. A period of gradual decline followed, reaching a minimum of 1.12 in March 2025, before stabilizing at 1.15 by June 2026.
The marginal fluctuations in the leverage ratio indicate a disciplined and conservative approach to capital management. The proximity of the ratio to 1.0 suggests that the asset base is primarily financed through equity, resulting in a low-risk solvency position and significant financial flexibility.

The solvency profile is characterized by a lack of recorded interest-bearing debt and a general expansion of the equity base over the analyzed period. The absence of total debt indicates a capital structure that does not rely on external borrowing, resulting in an inherently low-risk solvency position.
- Stockholders' Equity Trends
- Equity levels exhibited an initial contraction during 2022, decreasing from 12,102,300 thousand USD in March 2022 to a period low of 11,041,900 thousand USD by December 2022. Following this decline, a consistent upward trajectory was observed beginning in March 2023. Equity grew steadily through 2023 and 2024, reaching 16,433,700 thousand USD by September 2024. Despite a marginal fluctuation in mid-2025, the growth trend resumed, culminating in a peak of 18,168,400 thousand USD by June 30, 2026.
- Debt to Equity Analysis
- Due to the absence of reported total debt across all quarterly periods, the debt-to-equity ratio remains at zero. This signifies that the organization's assets are funded entirely through equity and retained earnings rather than through debt instruments. The widening gap between the zero-debt position and the increasing equity base further strengthens the company's solvency and financial independence.
- Solvency Implications
- The combined effect of zero leverage and a growing equity surplus indicates a highly conservative financial strategy. The increasing equity base suggests strong internal capital generation, which provides a substantial buffer against financial volatility and eliminates the risk of insolvency related to debt servicing or repayment obligations.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The financial data indicates a capital structure characterized by a complete absence of reported debt throughout the analyzed period from March 2022 to June 2026. This results in a solvency profile with no leverage, as the total capital is comprised entirely of non-debt components.
- Total Capital Trends
- An initial contraction in total capital is observed during 2022, declining from 12.1 billion USD in March to a period low of 11.04 billion USD by December. Following this trough, a sustained upward trajectory is evident, with capital growing consistently through March 2025 to reach 17.85 billion USD. A brief correction occurred in June 2025, where capital dipped to 16.93 billion USD, before resuming growth to end at 18.17 billion USD in June 2026.
- Solvency and Leverage Position
- The absence of total debt obligations across all reported quarters confirms a zero-leverage position. Consequently, the debt-to-capital ratio remains at 0%, indicating that borrowed funds are not being utilized to finance operations or growth. This reflects a conservative financial strategy and a high degree of solvency, as there are no debt-servicing requirements to impact liquidity or capital flexibility.

2 Click competitor name to see calculations.
The analysis of solvency indicators for the period between March 31, 2022, and June 30, 2026, is primarily centered on the movement of total assets, as debt-related figures are unavailable.
- Total Asset Trends
- A general upward trajectory in total assets is observed over the analyzed timeframe. Assets grew from $13,678,400 thousand in March 2022 to $20,876,600 thousand by June 2026. While a slight contraction occurred during 2022, with values dipping to a low of $12,974,000 thousand by December 31, 2022, a consistent expansion followed from early 2023 onward.
- Solvency Ratio Interpretation
- The debt-to-assets ratio cannot be determined due to the absence of total debt values. In the absence of these figures, it is not possible to assess the proportion of assets financed through debt or to evaluate the company's leverage and long-term solvency position.

The financial position exhibits a consistent growth trajectory in both total assets and stockholders' equity over the analyzed period. Total assets increased from approximately $13.68 billion in March 2022 to $20.88 billion by June 2026, representing a substantial expansion of the balance sheet. This growth was mirrored by stockholders' equity, which rose from $12.10 billion to $18.17 billion in the same timeframe.
- Financial Leverage Stability
- The financial leverage ratio remained remarkably stable, fluctuating within a narrow band between 1.12 and 1.17. A gradual increase was noted throughout 2022, peaking at 1.17 in mid-2023, before receding to a period low of 1.12 in March 2025. The ratio concluded the period at 1.15 in June 2026, indicating minimal volatility in the company's leverage profile.
- Capital Structure Analysis
- The proximity of the leverage ratio to 1.00 across all quarters indicates a highly conservative capital structure with very low reliance on external debt. The strong correlation between the growth of total assets and stockholders' equity suggests that balance sheet expansion has been primarily funded through internal accruals or equity rather than through leveraged borrowing.
- Asset and Equity Correlation
- Periodic fluctuations, such as the dip in assets and equity observed during the latter half of 2022, were followed by sustained recovery and growth. The stability of the leverage ratio during these shifts demonstrates a disciplined approach to maintaining a consistent debt-to-equity relationship regardless of the overall scale of the organization's assets.
