Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 39% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published July 8, 2025
Boston Scientific’s share price is resting just above an important long-term price level. The FDA has cleared its FARAPULSE heart device for wider use, adding about $700 million in possible yearly sales. Major brokerages reaffirmed a $115 goal, and a positive sector call adds momentum. Trading volume usually bounces in autumn, so the stock could rise 15-20 % over the next quarter with manageable risk.
Primary drivers
- New FDA approval could add roughly $700M in yearly sales from extra heart procedures.
- Price sits above a key long-term line, a sign that buyers are still in charge.
- TD Cowen held a $115 target and more analysts turned positive this week.
- Heart-related procedures bounce back in Q3, which often boosts device makers.
How it played out
BSX: target was not reached inside the window
Lyra published BSX at $102.25 on July 8, 2025. The thesis expected 18% growth in a short-term window, with a target of $120.66. It pointed to wider FDA clearance for FARAPULSE, possible yearly sales of about $700 million, support near a long-term price level, a $115 brokerage target, more positive analyst tone, and a Q3 rebound in heart-related procedures.
Inside the window, BSX rose but did not reach the target. The peak was $109.5 on September 9, a 7.1% gain. It never got there. By October 6, it ended at $96.7. The thesis partially played out on direction at the peak, but it missed the published target and finished below the publication price.
