Canaccord Genuity raises Boston Scientific stock price target on growth outlook

Investing.com - Canaccord Genuity raised its price target on Boston Scientific (NYSE:BSX) to $132.00 from $131.00 while maintaining a Buy rating following the company’s 2025 Investor Day. The medical device maker, currently valued at $144.66 billion with a strong "GREAT" financial health score according to InvestingPro, has seen its stock trade at $97.63.

The medical device maker outlined its growth strategy for 2026-2028, projecting organic sales compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 10% and annual adjusted operating margin expansion of approximately 50 basis points during this period. The company’s current revenue growth of 21.44% and impressive gross profit margin of 68.04% support these ambitious targets.

Boston Scientific expects its operating margin to approach 30% by 2028, which Canaccord notes is slightly ahead of consensus estimates, though the overall long-range plan aligns with broader market expectations. While InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is currently trading above its Fair Value, 12 additional exclusive ProTips are available to help investors make informed decisions.

The company plans to leverage growth from successful product lines like WATCHMAN and FARAPULSE while expanding into new fields including IVL, TCAR, renal denervation, OAB, and circulatory support to drive organic growth.

Canaccord highlighted Boston Scientific’s continued investment in research and development and venture capital investments as factors that position the company as "the continued leader in strategic Med-Tech."
