Bernstein Reiterates Outperform Rating on Boston Scientific (BSX)
Bernstein SocGen Group analyst Lee Hamnright reiterated an Outperform rating and $112.00 price target on Boston Scientific (NYSE: BSX).
The analyst commented: "Medtech stocks have struggled, and BSX has been the worst of the bunch, down ~35% from Sep 2025 highs on fears about intensifying PFA competition and a tricky setup in to the CHAMPION-AF readout (March 28) and Q1 earnings (~April 22). More broadly, U.S. Medtech has sharply lagged the market amid worries about weakness in Q1, potential margin pressures related to the Iran conflict, and a whole host of other issues.
We have a more favorable view of risk/reward here (+10%). If CHAMPION-AF hits, we think the stock could grind higher into Q1, perhaps up to $80. Having that important multiyear growth driver in your back pocket might help investors think about the Q1 setup a little differently. And on the downside, we have a hard time seeing BSX get down to a MDT multiple (15x), even if CHAMPION-AF fails. We believe there’s a good case to add here."
