What are Wall Street analysts saying about Boston Scientific stock?

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Boston Scientific stock:

1. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "BSX announced it is acquiring the private company up front cash and commercial-based milestones. Vertiflex’s Superion system is a minimally invasive device to treat patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). BSX expects the deal to be immaterial to its adjusted EPS through 2020 and accretive thereafter. While we are a little surprised to see BSX enter the spinal surgery market, there probably are synergies with its existing pain business and we see this deal as a typical BSX transaction in which it acquires an asset allowing it to go deeper within a disease state/disorder (in this case chronic pain). We expect BSX’s string of acquisitions over the past ~18 months (including Vertiflex) to combine to provide a material benefit to its longer-term organic growth and we reiterate our Strong Buy rating." (5/13/2019)
2. BTIG Research analysts commented, "$42 Story BSX results fell short of Street expectations on a myriad of items. Heading into the print, investors anticipated the paclitaxel and mesh issues but less selling days, a temporary supply issue and a weaker Neuromod result pressured Q1 incrementally. As we anticipated in our preview, BSX guided FY19 revenue growth to the bottom half of the prior range (7-8% from 7- 9%). We revised our estimates accordingly for known pressure points and while there could be upside from high-growth segments (Structural Heart remains likely), our view is that NT significant outperformance by BSX is less likely than it was six months ago. On lower forecasts and a slightly lower multiple, we trim our PT from $45 to $42. Some investors have asked if the growth acceleration story is over. We do not think so but we do think there will be a NT slowdown before potential acceleration." (4/25/2019)
