Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 34% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published August 16, 2025
The stock has fallen a lot even though the business has been growing for years and analysts remain positive. A major firm kept its Buy view with a $130 goal. The drop is tied to the FDA looking into a safety question about a defibrillator wire. Over the next three months, the bet is that steady growth wins out and the issue stays limited. If buying, keep losses small and wait for signs the price is starting to trend up again.
Primary drivers
- A major bank reaffirmed its Buy rating and kept a $130 price target
- Regulators are reviewing a possible safety issue with a defibrillator wire
- The stock looks beaten down and could rebound over the next few weeks
- The core business has been growing steadily for several years
How it played out
BSX: target was not reached
Lyra published BSX at $103.17 for a short-term window from 2025-08-16 to 2025-11-14. The thesis expected 18% growth. It pointed to a reaffirmed Buy view with a $130 goal, a beaten-down stock, steady business growth, and a regulatory review of a possible defibrillator wire safety issue that was expected to stay limited.
Inside the window, BSX rose to a peak of $109.50 on 2025-09-09, a 6.1% gain. That stayed below the $121.74 target. It never got there. The stock ended at $102.69 on 2025-11-14. The thesis partially played out because there was an early rebound, but the full target missed.
