President Donald Trump announced tougher-than-anticipated tariffs on Wednesday, but there are some <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">notable exemptions</a>.
Trump excluded pharmaceuticals from the new tariffs, likely a relief for the industry under pressure following his prior comments suggesting a 25% tariff <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44631606/trumps-tariff-exemptions-include-semiconductors-pharmaceuticals-oil-and-more" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">on pharmaceutical imports</a>. 
&#8220;The United States can no longer produce enough antibiotics to treat our sick,&#8221; Trump said Wednesday. &#8220;We have a tremendous problem, we have to go to foreign countries to treat our sick. If anything ever happened from a war standpoint, we wouldn&#8217;t be able to do it.&#8221;
The biopharma industry has historically been shielded from tariffs, including during Trump's first term. Investors had feared global tariffs could disrupt the sector, given its significant manufacturing presence in Europe. The Morningstar <a target="_blank" href="https://www.morningstar.com/stocks/biopharma-industry-exempt-global-10-tariff-we-still-see-margin-tax-rate-risks" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a> says that with the U.S. importing approximately $200 billion in pharmaceuticals in 2024, a 10% tariff could have resulted in a $20 billion cost to the industry, with some of the largest firms facing annual tariffs of up to $1 billion.

Per the Morningstar report on Thursday, a future global tariff on pharmaceuticals remains a risk despite the exemption, potentially pressuring gross margins and long-term tax rates. Companies may need to adjust their manufacturing strategies, though large-cap biopharma firms are expected to maintain strong economic positions. Tariffs could drive near-term margin pressures and lead to long-term U.S. manufacturing investments.
However, new facilities would take years to gain approval, especially with ongoing FDA staff <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44634464/despite-headwinds-biotech-sell-off-could-offer-buying-opportunity-bofa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reductions affecting inspections</a>. If U.S. manufacturing increases, corporate tax rates could rise closer to the current 21% rate &#8211; a level Trump aims to maintain through the Republican-controlled Congress.
However, the medical device industry has not been spared, with diabetes device makers appearing to be the hardest hit.
Diabetes device manufacturers, including Dexcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DXCM#NASDAQ">DXCM</a>), Insulet Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PODD#NYSE">PODD</a>) and Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TNDM#NASDAQ">TNDM</a>) are among the most affected.
Larger cardiac and orthopedic device makers, such as Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BSX#NYSE">BSX</a>), Edwards Lifesciences Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EW#NYSE">EW</a>) and Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZBH#NYSE">ZBH</a>) have seen minimal share movement and are expected to shift manufacturing to mitigate tariff effects.
The report <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/stocks/medical-device-industry-swept-up-tariffs-diabetes-device-makers-bear-brunt" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">notes</a> that among diabetes device makers, Tandem Diabetes appears particularly vulnerable due to its reliance on foreign components and manufacturing, limiting its ability to shift production.
The sector could face further challenges if European competitors, such as Roche Holdings AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RHHBY#OTC">RHHBY</a>) and Ypsomed, gain an advantage or if Europe imposes reciprocal tariffs, intensifying competitive pressures.

Trump Tariffs Spare Drugmakers But Threaten Diabetes Device Industry

Looking into the current session, Boston Scientific Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BSX#NYSE">BSX</a>) shares are trading at $96.89, after a 3.16% drop. Over the past month, the stock fell by 1.95%, but over the past year, it actually spiked by 44.16%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743696034_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Boston Scientific P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Boston Scientific has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 81.19 of the Health Care Equipment &amp; Supplies industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743696034_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Supporting his view, Morgan Stanley analyst Tejas Savant, on March 18, raised the price target on the stock from $16 to $20.
&#8220;That' like a dice roll,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetleri A.S. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TKC#NYSE">TKC</a>). &#8220;That's a bridge too far for me.&#8221;

Keefe, Bruyette &amp; Woods analyst Vasundhara Govil, on March 18, upgraded Block from Market Perform to Outperform but lowered the price target from $87 to $80.
Healthpeak Properties, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DOC#NYSE">DOC</a>) is a &#8220;reasonable&#8221; REIT, Cramer said.
On Feb. 28, Scotiabank analyst Nicholas Yulico maintained Healthpeak Properties with a Sector Outperform and lowered the price target from $24 to $23.
The Mad Money host said Rubrik, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RBRK#NYSE">RBRK</a>) is doing &#8220;very, very well.&#8221;
As per the recent news, NTT DATA partnered with Rubrik on Monday for cybersecurity ransomware protection.
Cramer said Edwards Lifesciences Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EW#NYSE">EW</a>) is a hold and prefers Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BSX#NYSE">BSX</a>) to Edwards Lifesciences.
On the earnings front, Edwards Lifesciences, on Feb. 11, posted better-than-expected quarterly earnings.

Needham analyst Mike Matson reiterated TransMedics Group with a Hold rating on Wednesday.
&#8220;It's never been this cheap that I can recall,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about Arista Networks Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANET#NYSE">ANET</a>). &#8220;Here's the problem, it's a data center stock.&#8221;
On March 5, UBS analyst David Vogt upgraded Arista Networks from Neutral to Buy and raised the price target from $112 to $115.

$100 Invested In Boston Scientific 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Last week,&nbsp;U.S. President&nbsp;Donald Trump vowed to impose a 25% tariff on imported goods from Mexico and Canada and to double tariffs on&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/44010093/trumps-plan-for-canada-mexico-china-tariffs-to-start-march-4-could-shake-stock-market" rel="noreferrer noopener">those from China to 20%</a>.
China responded to Trump&#8217;s recent tariff hikes by placing its own tariffs on certain U.S. goods, sanctioning American companies, and planning to file a complaint with&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44117288/after-china-mexico-to-hit-back-against-trumps-tariffs-raising-trade-war-risks" rel="noreferrer noopener">the World Trade Organization</a>.
China also banned imports of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">genetic sequencers</a> from&nbsp;Illumina Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ILMN#NASDAQ">ILMN</a>).

Goldman Sachs has grown more confident that end markets are stabilizing and set for a recovery in 2025, despite ongoing policy and tariff uncertainties. Rising demand and increased stimulus are helping ease market bottlenecks.
Following a visit to China, Goldman Sachs analysts see capital equipment markets at a turning point and write that innovation remains a key advantage.
They are also optimistic about GE Healthcare Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEHC#NASDAQ">GEHC</a>) and Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BSX#NYSE">BSX</a>) in the region.
While Intuitive Surgical Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ISRG#NASDAQ">ISRG</a>) offers unique technology, economic constraints, and national quotas may limit its growth. Meanwhile, local competition is expanding quickly, but Goldman Sachs sees limited impact due to a lack of technological differentiation. As a result, analyst David Roman upgraded GE Healthcare stock from Neutral to Buy, raising the <a target="_blank" href="https://editorial.benzinga.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=819159&amp;action=edit" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from $85 to $100</a>.
The analyst has a balanced view on GE Healthcare with stable 4-5% growth in the base business (ex-China), offset by sustained headwinds in the China business (~14% of sales), which would yield top-line growth below consensus and the company&#8217;s medium targets of 4-6% organic revenue growth.
The forecast increase is due to stabilizing trends in China. The analyst expects China sales to return to 2023 levels by 2026, unlike the previous forecast, which did not anticipate a rebound through 2028.
Price Action: GEHC stock is up 0.45% at $85.74&nbsp;at the last check Tuesday.

On a 100% basis, the transaction price consists of $400&nbsp;million upfront and up to&nbsp;$200 million upon achievement of a regulatory milestone.
An investigational TIVUS system is designed to denervate nerves surrounding blood vessels to treat a variety of hypertensive disorders, including renal artery denervation (RDN) for hypertension.
Boston Scientific anticipates completing the transaction in the first half of 2025.
The company expects the transaction to be slightly dilutive to adjusted EPS in 2025.
The TIVUS system is designed to perform RDN that can help reduce activity in the kidney&#8217;s renal nerves and serve as an alternative or adjunctive therapy to these medications to help regulate blood pressure.
Compared to radiofrequency energy, ultrasound energy has the potential to penetrate the tissue more deeply, which may result in faster procedures with effective nerve ablation.
The catheter-based TIVUS system generates precise ultrasound energy that passes through the blood and into renal arteries, supplying blood to the kidneys without anchoring to the artery wall, allowing continual blood flow to cool the treatment area.
This energy is designed to heat and ablate the bundles of nerves outside the arteries, stopping their ability to pass signals and reducing the sympathetic hormones released from the nerves. As a result, the blood vessels relax, and the pressure within them is reduced.
Last year, SoniVie announced efficacy data from an IDE pilot trial of the TIVUS system in the U.S. and&nbsp;Israel. The company recently initiated the THRIVE global IDE pivotal trial of the device.
Price Action: BSX stock is up 0.97% at $104.88 at the last check Monday.

<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.

According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Boston Scientific's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.93%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
