Barclays analyst Matt Miksic says the discontinuation of the Acurate TAVR program at Boston Scientific (BSX) “should not come as a surprise to investors” given the failure to meet its non-inferiority endpoint last year. The firm views the news as “an incremental positive for the stock” as management will reallocate resources to innovative programs with greater potential for higher returns. The firm, which also notes that management reaffirmed its Q2 and 2025 outlook for reported, organic sales, and adjusted EPS, reiterates an Overweight rating and $125 price target on Boston Scientific shares.
