Investor Insights

This summary was created by AI, based on 4 opinions in the last 12 months.

Boston Scientific Corp (BSX) has been experiencing solid momentum recently, fueled by impressive revenue growth and a strong history of acquisitions. The company is particularly noted for its minimally invasive surgical devices and is optimistic for continued double-digit growth in its offerings, especially following a competitor's setback. Despite a strong organic growth of over 14.7% recently and an upward revision in earnings forecasts, the stock is regarded as trading at a high valuation of 37x Forward P/E. Experts suggest that while BSX is a strong long-term investment, its current valuation may warrant a more cautious approach to buying in.

BSX has seen solid momentum recently due to an acceleration in revenue along with a decent track record of acquisitive growth. BSX is trading at 37x Forward P/E and growth is expected to be around 9% in the next few years. That being said, valuation is not cheap. We feel it is a decent name to own over the long term, but we would not be adding aggressively at the current valuation. we are comfortable averaging into BSX over time given the premium valuation it is trading at.

BUY

They minimally invasive surgical devices, particularly in cardio-vascular, plus medical services. Last year, shares rallied 55% and is up 6% so far this year, thanks to JNJ pausing a competing device. He expects double-digit growth across the entire business, which is rare for pharma.

BUY

It just reported a strong revenue beat with over 14.7% organic growth and raise their full-year forecast in earnings and revenues. Was down 1% today in the sell-off, but still worth buying.

BUY
BDX vs. TMO

Avoid TMO because their revenues are flattening. Both trade at a high PE. BDX hasn't done much in share movement. He'd rather pay more for Boston Scientific which performs better.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 28/22, Up 27%)

Still owns shares. Venture capital fund in health care business. One of most successful funds in biotech. Expecting consistent gains going forward. 

HOLD

Above FMV of $40 by 22%. Growth is fairly nice. He thinks it will hold fairly well. A bouncy kind of stock.

DON'T BUY

It is at a new high in terms of price but not new highs in terms of Price/Book. There is no yield and a 25% downside risk.

BUY

It is a leader in the field so the price is at a premium for a good reason. Has had a good bounce. You could also look at MedTech and Thermo-Fisher.

TOP PICK
World's leader in med tech. He's doubling down on US healthcare. Leader in cardio surgical technology. Healthcare, neglected through Covid, will be a very high growth area for the next couple of years. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $49.96)
PARTIAL SELL
Can be a safe haven stock. Health care offers defence. But BSX has had a big run and he expects this market to roll over a bit. Take some profits and wait for opportunities, which could mean buying this back in 2-3 months. Has fantastic fundamentals, but valuation is rich.
BUY
Likes it very much. Higher growth. Under pressure post-earnings. Predominantly everything cardiovascular. Covid put off elective surgeries, and these are starting to return. For the rest of 2022, increased volume might offset inflationary pressures.
WAIT
She has owned it for many years and it has not done anything. The COVID scares cast shadows over medical procedure demand. As a medical device provider it has faced head winds. Demand should ramp back up, but it will take confidence by patients to return for procedures.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 01/20, Up 22%) Covid delayed surgeries. Labour shortages. Both are holding the stock back, but will improve. Solid, long-term core investment.
HOLD
Holds other healthcare plays. There is a good place for these names in portfolios. The organic growth from resuming treatment and surgeries will be interesting to follow. Wouldn't worry about the pullback.
WAIT
BSX vs. MDT Two great companies. In the implantable medical device business. Loves the area. Too expensive, as investors have flocked to them and the multiple has increased. Would love to own both if prices came down substantially.
