BOSTON SCIENTIFIC CORP · 2026-10-28 · Importance 9 · Surprise 24

Management said interest rates have increased since Boston Scientific announced its Penumbra acquisition in mid-January. Those higher rates are expected to raise incremental financing costs and put additional pressure on the acquisition’s anticipated EPS dilution. The original $0.06 to $0.08 dilution estimate assumed the interest rates in place at announcement and no divestiture.
