What’s Happening with Boston Scientific Stock?

Despite the overall positive Q3 earnings report, Boston Scientific stock is struggling today. It rose in pre-market trading but has since failed to sustain momentum, down 5% as of this writing. However, it has shown mostly steady growth over the past six months, rising 16% despite consistent market volatility.

Not all of the company’s Q3 statistics were positive. Reported GAAP net income was $0.32 per share, slightly below Boston Scientific’s guidance range of $0.36 to $0.38. However, it also reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.63, slightly above the guidance range of $0.57 to $0.59.

Overall, today’s poor performance is likely due to negative market momentum. Boston Scientific’s Q3 report was positive overall, driven by $4.209 billion in net sales, marking a 19% increase year-over-year on both a reported and operational basis, and an 18% organic increase.

Additionally, Boston Scientific reported both reported and operational net sales growth across international markets, including Europe, the Middle East, Africa (15%), Latin America, Canada (9%), and emerging markets (15%).
