Boston Scientific Warns Cyberattack Will Hurt 2026 Sales and Profit
The medical device maker said the disruption has already affected shipments and operations, and it may miss third-quarter and full-year guidance.
- On Tuesday, Boston Scientific announced that a cyberattack will have a "material impact" on its 2026 financial results, making the company unlikely to meet third-quarter and full-year earnings guidance.
- Boston Scientific disclosed the update in an SEC filing two weeks after unauthorized network activity detected on August 25 knocked systems offline, disrupting global manufacturing and order shipments.
- Distribution networks have been substantially restored and manufacturing has resumed at most global sites, though some business applications remain affected and full recovery timing remains unknown.
- Shares of Boston Scientific fell 4.5% in premarket trading following the disclosure; the company plans to provide updated financial outlook on October 28.
- While the investigation continues, Boston Scientific has identified no evidence of ongoing unauthorized access and does not expect the incident to materially affect long-term financial condition.
