Stryker Says It's Not in Merger Talks With Boston Scientific
Stryker Corp. said it isn’t in talks with medical-device giant Boston Scientific Corp. about a potential acquisition, responding to a report that it had sought a deal. The Wall Street Journal reported two days ago that Stryker had approached Boston Scientific about a potential merger, sending the target company’s shares soaring. “Stryker is not in discussions with Boston Scientific Corporation regarding a potential acquisition,” the Kalamazoo, Michigan-based company said in a regulatory filing Wednesday.
