Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $Boston Scientific (BSX.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:

  • Boston Scientific has delivered a quarter that exceeded expectations from all angles, despite the high anticipations. Nonetheless, the shares are currently under pressure due to the announced suspension of the AVANT GUARD clinical trial, which is investigating Farapulse in a new patient segment. It's essential to note that this patient segment is not currently being treated, there are certain observations under assessment, and the expectation is for enrollment to continue shortly.

  • Boston Scientific's Q3 outcomes were described as 'impressive', and the company's management has elevated its 2024 guidance, with expectations to conclude the year with +15% organic sales growth. Despite a temporary halt in the EP trial AVANTGUARD, which influenced the stock negatively, the reaction is perceived to be exaggerated according to key opinion leader assessments.

  • The AVANT Guard trial setback is not associated with a mortality event or initiated by the FDA, and the momentum of global Farapulse is viewed as sustainable over the medium term. It is believed that the current pullback in Boston Scientific shares offers a compelling entry point.
