Boston Scientific Warns of Earnings Miss After Cyberattack

PUBLISHED Sep 9, 2026, 9:13 AM ET

Boston Scientific Corporation announced in a regulatory filing that a recent cybersecurity incident will cause the company to miss its financial guidance for the third quarter and full year of 2026. The company detected unauthorized network activity on August 25, 2026, triggering a global operational disruption that impaired manufacturing capabilities, order processing, and customer shipments. Although ongoing threat actor access has been contained and primary distribution centers have resumed normal shipping volumes, the full timeline for complete operational restoration remains unconfirmed. Management stated that net sales growth and adjusted earnings per share will fall below targets established in July 2026. While some delayed revenue is expected to be recovered as global operations ramp up, the total financial impact cannot yet be precisely quantified. Leadership does not anticipate long-term structural harm to the company financial health and scheduled a conference call for October 28, 2026, to provide detailed updates.
