Boston Scientific Q3 earnings beat; stock slips on sales miss, weak guidance

By Staff Correspondent |

Boston Scientific’s (BSX) stock suffered a loss early Wednesday after the company reported weak sales numbers for the third quarter and revised down the full-year guidance. While the top-line missed estimates, earnings grew sharply and exceeded the forecast, aided by stable demand across all operating segments and geographical regions.
