Why now
Medical Devices · market cap $66.6b. Down 59% from 52-week high of $109.50 — deep drawdown territory. Revenue growing +20%, comfortably above the S&P median. PEG 0.54 — paying under fair value for the growth rate. 29 sell-side analysts rate this a Strong Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $74.55 (implying +66% upside).
Moat
Net margin 17% beats the market median by a meaningful margin — the company is keeping more of every revenue dollar than the average S&P constituent. ROE 14% meets the long-run market sustainable threshold — solid but not differentiated; the durability comes from elsewhere. FCF converts 98% of net income — earnings translate cleanly into cash, a sign that working capital and capex are well-disciplined.
Risk
Down 59% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up.
Horizon
1-3 yr $74.55 (29-analyst consensus) — multiple re-rating thesis requires a catalyst. 5 yr $94.12 at ~16% CAGR — dividend + buyback compounding. 10 yr $120.71 if the moat survives secular pressure.

A score is a quantitative screen of Boston Scientific Corporation's fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.

Why does BSX score 72 on Bull Rankings?

The quality-growth score blends three pillars — quality (returns on capital, margins, leverage, earnings quality), growth (revenue and earnings expansion), and value (valuation versus sector peers). BSX earns its highest marks on P/E (A-), PEG (A-) and Rev (B+). Each pillar is graded against sector-aware thresholds, then combined into the single 0–100 score.

Is BSX overvalued or undervalued?

Based on $44.81, BSX sits about 27% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety). It trades at a 18.8x× P/E (graded A-). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.

What are the main risks of investing in BSX?

Down 59% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up.
