Boston Scientific: Attempting The 2027 Reset
Summary Boston Scientific retains my buy rating with a $66 price target, reflecting 44% upside if negative earnings revisions stabilize. BSX has reset expectations, slashing guidance and acknowledging competitive pressures, particularly in WATCHMAN and electrophysiology segments. Valuation is now attractive at 13.7x forward earnings, with further upside contingent on management halting guidance cuts and delivering execution consistency. I expect achievable 2024 EPS at the high end of guidance ($3.32) and see potential for $3.69–$4.00 EPS in 2025 if operational improvements materialize. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
