Boston Scientific to Acquire Nalu Medical in $533 Million Deal

The company targets a first-half 2026 close with limited near-term profit impact turning modestly accretive in 2027.

Overview

  • Boston Scientific will purchase the remaining equity of Nalu Medical for about $533 million in cash, valuing the transaction at roughly $600 million on a full-equity basis.
  • The acquisition broadens Boston Scientific’s chronic pain portfolio by adding peripheral nerve stimulation that complements its spinal cord stimulation and ablative pain therapies.
  • Nalu’s FDA-cleared system delivers mild electrical impulses via a miniaturized, battery-free implant powered wirelessly by an external therapy disc and controlled through a smartphone app.
  • Nalu is projected to generate more than $60 million in revenue in 2025 with growth above 25% in 2026, with adjusted earnings effects expected to be neutral in 2026 and modestly accretive in 2027.
  • Closing is planned for the first half of 2026 pending customary approvals, and Boston Scientific shares rose about 1% following the announcement.
