$100 Invested In Boston Scientific 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Boston Scientific's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BSX#NYSE">BSX</a>) short percent of float has risen 6.6% since its last report.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748635237_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Trial achieves positive results in the treatment of persistent atrial fibrillation
MARLBOROUGH, Mass. and SAN DIEGO, April 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ --&nbsp;Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BSX#NYSE">BSX</a>) today announced positive 12-month primary endpoint results from the second phase of the ADVANTAGE AF clinical trial evaluating the use of the FARAPULSE&#x2122; Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) System&#x2A; and adjunctive use of the FARAPOINT&#x2122; PFA Catheter in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). &nbsp;Key findings from the study were presented at the second annual PFA Live Case Summit in San Diego and simultaneously published in <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4411722-1&amp;h=2061933693&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ahajournals.org%2Fdoi%2F10.1161%2FCIRCULATIONAHA.125.074485&amp;a=Circulation">Circulation</a>.
Persistent AF, which accounts for approximately 25%1 of all AF cases, is an abnormal, rapid heartbeat that lasts for at least seven days in a row and can lead to complications such as blood clots, stroke and heart failure. The second phase of the ADVANTAGE AF trial studied the FARAWAVE&#x2122; PFA Catheter for both pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and posterior wall ablation (PWA) and the FARAPOINT PFA Catheter for cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation to treat typical atrial flutter (AFL), a type of heart rhythm disorder. All patients in the trial were continuously monitored after their procedure with the LUX-Dx&#x2122; Insertable Cardiac Monitor (ICM) System, which is designed to detect recurrence of cardiac arrhythmias and assess AF burden. Findings from the trial met all pre-specified safety and effectiveness endpoints and demonstrated:
<ul>
<li>73.4% freedom from AF, AFL and atrial tachycardia (AT), which exceeded the performance goal of 40% or higher.</li>
<li>A safety event rate of 2.4% and no reports of pulmonary vein stenosis, atrio-esophageal fistula or phrenic nerve palsy which met the performance goal of 12% or lower.</li>
<li>81.0% freedom from symptomatic documented AF recurrence, which is defined as arrhythmia, clinical intervention or use of escalated or new Class I/III anti-arrhythmic drugs.</li>
<li>71.6% of patients had virtually no atrial arrhythmia (AA) burden, in which data shows lower AA burden can be associated with fewer clinical interventions and improvements in quality of life and 52% of patients had no residual AA events after the blanking period.</li>
<li>96.4% of patients treated with the FARAPOINT PFA Catheter had no recurrence of AFL.</li>
</ul>
Boston Scientific anticipates U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval to expand the instructions for use labeling for the FARAPULSE PFA System to include persistent AF as well as European and U.S. regulatory approvals for the FARAPOINT PFA Catheter in the second half of 2025.
