Can Boston Scientific Stock Jump 30%?
Boston Scientific (BSX) stock has potential for growth outside its WATCHMAN and electrophysiology businesses, which management expects to keep growing. The company's operating margin improved to 22.9% in Q2 2026, but management anticipates challenges in 2027 due to softness in WATCHMAN and electrophysiology. BSX trades at 17.8 times its past year's earnings, cheaper than the S&P 500, but with limited expected EPS growth in 2027.
