📋 Highlights

Segment Performance

The company's Pharm Systems business, which includes vaccines, is expected to grow mid- to high single digits, excluding vaccines. The broader portfolio is doing well, with over 90% consumables revenue and a strong cadence of new innovation. The BD Excellence operating model helped drive strong P&L leverage throughout the year, with adjusted gross margin up 140 basis points, fueling 80 basis points of adjusted operating margin expansion.

Guidance and Outlook

BD expects to deliver consistent mid-single-digit revenue growth over the long term, with margin expansion driven primarily by gross margin fueled by the BD Excellence business system. For fiscal '26, the company guides to low single-digit revenue growth, driven by a combination of factors including Alaris capital installations, China decline, and reductions in vaccination rates. Analysts estimate next year's revenue growth at 4.2%, slightly above the company's guidance.

Valuation

With a P/E Ratio of 30.3, the stock appears to be fairly valued, considering the company's growth prospects. The EV/EBITDA ratio of 13.9 also suggests a reasonable valuation. Additionally, the Dividend Yield of 2.35% and Free Cash Flow Yield of 5.02% provide a decent return for investors. The ROIC of 4.15% and ROE of 5.11% indicate a relatively efficient use of capital.

Capital Allocation

BD plans to execute another $250 million share buyback this quarter, in addition to using at least half of the $4 billion in cash proceeds from the Waters transaction for share buybacks, which will accelerate EPS growth. The company's commitment to returning value to shareholders is evident in its 54th consecutive year of dividend increases.
