Needham analyst Mike Matson raised his price target on Boston Scientific to $43 and kept his Strong Buy rating. The analyst cites the company's latest $500M bid Augmenix, whose SpaceOAR reduces side effects associated with prostate radiotherapy. While the company expects "immaterial" earnings impact from the deal through 2019, Matson believes that it will strengthen its Urology & Pelvic Health business longer term, with added potential "revenue synergies given BSX's NxThera acquisition and legacy GreenLight XPS system".
