AI summary

What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting

Boston Scientific reported softer-than-expected 4Q guidance and highlighted a challenging year amid a cybersecurity incident that trimmed sales growth by about 300 basis points. While Q3 revenue beat consensus, both the 4Q outlook and 2027 cycle concerns weighed on the stock, which fell to a new 52-week low. The company reiterated a long-range plan to stabilize and grow through investments and an eventual rebound in 2028–2029, with a potential Penumbra acquisition shaping near-term optionality.

  • Q4 guidance below consensus; adj EPS 77–79c, revenue $5.127–$5.233B.
  • Q3 revenue $5.138B; above consensus $5.046B, but below guided $5.217–$5.318B.
