Description: BSX Boston Scientific September 25, 2025
Boston Scientific Corp (NYSE:BSX) designs, manufactures, and markets a broad range of medical devices across two primary segments-MedSurg and Cardiovascular-serving interventional specialties worldwide. The firm, founded in 1979 and based in Marlborough, Massachusetts, leverages a diversified product slate that spans gastrointestinal, urological, neurological, and cardiac therapies.
Within MedSurg, the company offers gastrointestinal tools (e.g., resolution clips, biliary stents, single-use duodenoscopes), urology solutions (ureteral stents, digital flexible ureteroscopes, holmium lasers, penile implants), and neuromodulation technologies (spinal cord stimulators, deep-brain stimulation systems). The Cardiovascular segment includes coronary disease and aortic valve devices, the WATCHMAN FLX left-atrial appendage closure system, and a suite of implantable cardiac rhythm management products such as CRT-D/CRT-P pacemakers, MRI-compatible sub-cutaneous ICDs, and remote monitoring platforms.
Key performance indicators suggest solid momentum: FY 2023 revenue reached roughly $12.6 billion, with MedSurg contributing about 55% and delivering a 23% operating margin, while Cardiovascular posted a 21% margin. R&D intensity remains near 9% of sales, reflecting continued pipeline investment. Sector-wide drivers-an aging U.S. population, rising prevalence of chronic cardiovascular and gastrointestinal conditions, and a projected 5% CAGR in global healthcare spending-support demand growth for BSX’s high-margin devices.
