GTx, Inc. (GTXI), Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (ISRG): Three Horrendous Health-Care Stocks This Week

Analysts piled on with more bad news after Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (NASDAQ:ISRG)’s announcement. Several downgraded the stock, including Canaccord Genuity, Goldman Sachs, and JMP Securities. Lazard Capital maintained its “buy” rating on Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (NASDAQ:ISRG) but lowered its price target to $480 from $625.

Foolish pick(s)
Of this week’s three horrendous stocks, I suspect that Merrimack Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:MACK) has the biggest opportunity to mount a strong comeback in the coming months. The share dilution is only a temporary setback.

Over the long run, though, I think Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (NASDAQ:ISRG) is still a solid investment. My view is that this week’s sell-off was overdone. I like that the company gets nearly $0.60 from every dollar it makes from recurring revenue. The old razor-and-blades business model works for robots, too.
