Piper Jaffray analyst JP McKim reiterated an Overweight rating on Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) following this morning's announcement that Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) will buy Auris Health, with "robotics visionary" Dr. Fred Moll joining J&J upon completion of the deal. In a research note to investors, McKim says the deal doesn't really change his thesis on Intuitive Surgical, and believes the price J&J is paying "shows investors how much they should be valuing ISRG's Ion platform."
