Boston Scientific Corp (BSX) has garnered mixed reviews from experts, reflecting a range of perspectives on its investment potential. While it is recognized as a leader in the medical device industry with products in cardiology and endoscopy, analysts caution that the stock has faced significant challenges over the past year, including slowing organic growth and increased competition from rivals like Medtronic, Abbott, and Johnson & Johnson. The recent market performance has led to concerns about its high valuation, with some experts recommending a wait-and-see approach rather than aggressive investment. Others, however, argue that despite the near-term weakness, the company is well-managed and poised for long-term growth, driven by an aging population and demand for less invasive devices. Overall, while the stock appears attractive at the current price, caution is advised given the current market dynamics and valuation metrics.

BUY

Hit a 52-week high today. This sector (medical devices) has reported very strong reports, such as Intuitive Surgical.

DON'T BUY

Liked it better in the past than today. If there were a recession, they'd need more capital. Remains a very fine company as to products. Good management that will learn from the past. Volumes in medical devices are not recovering as he expected. He owns Abbott Labs instead, a diversified player with a very strong balance sheet. You could also look at the dental space.

HOLD

Cardiovascular-related devices, and they're doing very well. Raised equity, and pulled a device from market due to potential safety issues. Took a bit of a hit on earnings. Likes it, but he's watching closely as it becomes more concentrated.

TOP PICK

One of the largest medical device manufacturers. New management has cleaned things up. Stock hit by a heart valve recall. Substantial upside. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $42.96)

BUY

It has been impacted. From 2013 to 2019 they could do no wrong, then there were a few hiccups. They discontinued one of their hard-valve products that will impact their growth over the next 3-4 years. If you think management can continue to execute and hit a couple of home runs, then stick with it. He would consider it a buy at these levels.

BUY

BSX vs. BDX Owns Boston Scientific instead of BDX. BSX has a strong history of execution. One-time events threw off that execution. Hospital procedures are coming back, which will benefit the entire industry. Well known for innovation.

BUY

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks It trades at a 32x PE, but pays no dividend. Despite the spring lockdown, BSX offers revenue growth YOY of 9.28% though the one-year total return is -5.42%. It beat EPS in three of its last four earnings periods, and the market expects its EPS to leap from 8 cents in Q2 to 24 cents in Q3 (to reported on Oct. 21).

BUY

BSX vs. CCI One of his biggest holdings and fully believes in it. They suffered because their medical devices are non-essential, but they will recover nicely in time. Crown Castle is very different, a real estate play for cell phone towers, which will see strong growth, but the PE is very high given this expected growth. There's little risk though. You can buy both stocks.

TOP PICK

One of the fastest-growiong medical device companies. This has been unfairly beaten up during the pandemic with a delay in elective surgeries. When those operations return, BSX should do well. (Analysts’ price target is $42.96)

COMMENT

Had an exceptional 10 years. Sold off heavily with the coronavirus. High growth. Challenge is you couldn't buy it if you were a value investor. Supply of components will be an issue, as for all its peers.

TOP PICK

They make global medical devices. A steady eddy pick and a good way to play healthcare. Their Q4 report sucked, so the stock sold off, but this has outperformed the medical devices and healthcare indexes before Q4. Q4 was a hiccup, so it's now a buying opportunity or around $40. (Analysts’ price target is $49.14)

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Changing demographics? He has a model price of $45.83 per share -- right around current prices. A move higher in the market could take it to $61. He would wait thru the next earnings announcement. It is not cheap here. He would wait for a pullback before buying in.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sep 18/18, Up 11%) They make heart pacers and have expanded into joint replacements through acquisitions. It was poorly managed, but has turned around in the past three years. He's trimmed around $42 to be Pfizer. However, all medical stocks face US politicians bashing them during elections. So, load up on health stocks and do well after the vote.

BUY

Since 2014, management has executed very good 7-9% organic EPS growth while compressing margins on the cost side. Last quarter, though, they had a hiccup with their Watchman device, but the market forgave them because of BSX's track record. Happy to own it. They report next week. If they miss, expect volatility.

BUY

They've done a good job turning around in the past 7 years with a new CEO. Margins will continue to rise with high single-digit growth. Legal settlements and tax issues are behind them, thus freeing up their cash. This is a big holding for him.
