Boston Scientific price target raised to $78 from $72 at Evercore ISI

Evercore ISI analyst Vijay Kumar raised the firm’s price target on Boston Scientific to $78 from $72 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares as the firm said the company reported “solid results and there wasn’t much to pick on.” While EP franchise acceleration driven by Farapulse PFA launch “is generally well known” by the Street, the firm says it doesn’t think “anyone expected ~86% US growth and ~72% International growth.”
