Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 34% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published July 11, 2025
Recent changes in which industries investors favor pushed BSX lower than seems reasonable, even though the company keeps winning approvals for smart, AI-guided medical devices. A new Medicare proposal to pay for its kidney-nerve treatment hints at a much bigger pool of patients, and market surveys show optimism is very high. Observers think that if the share price closes above $106 it could advance toward $118 within about three months, while any slide is expected to find support near $98.
Primary drivers
- Over 700 device approvals, many using AI, point to steady and growing sales.
- Trading signals suggest the recent slide may be ending and a rebound could start.
- Investor surveys show very strong interest after the recent market pullback.
- The stock trades about 10 percent cheaper than rivals, giving room to catch up.
How it played out
BSX: target was not reached
Lyra published BSX at $103.86 on 2025-07-11, with expected growth of 16% over a short-term window.

Inside the window, BSX rose but did not reach the $120.48 target. It peaked at $109.50 on 2025-09-09, a 5.4% gain, then ended the window at $97.28 on 2025-10-09. The thesis partially played out early, but the target was missed.
