Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 34% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published August 17, 2025
Boston Scientific looks set for a near-term recovery after a pullback. On Aug 16, Jefferies repeated its Buy rating with a $130 target following a strong Q2. Earnings per share have grown 18.4% per year over five years, showing steady progress. The FDA began monitoring some older defibrillator leads on Aug 15; this bears watching, but it appears manageable. A 3-month move back toward the recent average price seems reasonable.
Primary drivers
- Price looks beaten down, and buyers are likely to step in around here soon.
- A well-known bank reaffirmed a Buy rating and set a $130 price target.
- Earnings per share have risen steadily for years, strengthening the case.
- The FDA is monitoring older device parts; current view is risk looks limited.
How it played out
BSX: the target was not reached
Lyra published BSX at $103.17 on 2025-08-17, looking for 18% growth over a short-term window. The thesis pointed to a pullback that looked overdone, buyers returning near the $100 to $104 entry zone, a Buy rating with a $130 target, steady earnings per share growth of 18.4% per year over five years, and older device-part monitoring that looked limited at publication.
Inside the window, BSX peaked at $109.50 on 2025-09-09, a 6.1% gain. It stayed below the $121.74 target and never reached it. By 2025-11-15, it ended at $102.69. The thesis partially played out, but the target missed.
Prices are shown split- and dividend-adjusted, matching what public charts show today.
