Description: BDX Becton Dickinson January 29, 2026

Becton, Dickinson & Company (BDX) is a diversified medical-technology firm that designs, manufactures and markets a broad portfolio of products-including IV catheters, drug-delivery and safety systems, laboratory automation, diagnostic reagents, and surgical supplies-served through five operating segments: Medical Essentials, Connected Care, BioPharma Systems, Interventional and Life Sciences. Its customers span hospitals, clinics, research labs, pharmaceutical manufacturers and the broader public health ecosystem.

Key recent metrics (FY 2025): revenue $25.1 billion (+5.2% YoY), adjusted EPS $9.84 (+7.1% YoY), and a free-cash-flow conversion of 68%. The Connected Care segment grew 9% on a 3-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%, driven by rising demand for medication-automation and analytics solutions in outpatient settings. A primary sector driver is the aging U.S. population, which is projected to increase hospital admissions for chronic-care procedures by ~1.4% annually through 2030, bolstering demand for BD’s vascular access and infection-prevention products.
