On September 4, Boston Scientific fell 3.04% in regular trading, trading at $46.86/share, with turnover of $581 million. The stock had previously rebounded to near pre-incident levels but has pulled back again amid lingering dual headwinds.
On the news front, the cybersecurity incident first disclosed on August 25 remains under active investigation, with no confirmed timeline for full system restoration. The company stated it is unable to determine whether the incident will have a material impact on operations, as access to certain IT systems and business applications continues to be disrupted, limiting customer order processing and product shipments across multiple markets. The company has engaged third-party cybersecurity experts to assess and contain the threat.
Compounding the pressure, the FDA has classified the recall of certain lots of Boston Scientific's ENROUTE Transcarotid Neuroprotection System devices at its highest severity level, citing risks of arterial sheath tip separation that could lead to embolism and stroke. One serious injury has been reported in connection with the issue.
