Description: BDX Becton Dickinson December 03, 2025
Becton Dickinson (NYSE:BDX) is a diversified medical-technology firm that designs, manufactures and sells a broad portfolio of products across three main segments: BD Medical (IV and infusion devices, medication safety and pharmacy automation), BD Life Sciences (specimen collection, microbiology and molecular diagnostics, flow cytometry and single-cell analysis reagents) and BD Interventional (hernias, soft-tissue repair, biosurgery and critical-care devices). Founded in 1897 and headquartered in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, the company serves hospitals, clinics, research labs and pharmaceutical companies worldwide.
Key recent metrics (FY 2023) show total revenue of roughly $20.2 billion, with the Life Sciences segment contributing about $7 billion and delivering a 14 % operating margin-higher than the Medical segment’s 12 % margin, reflecting strong demand for diagnostic automation and single-cell genomics. The segment’s growth is driven by macro-level factors such as the aging U.S. population, rising outpatient procedural volumes, and a 5 % CAGR expansion in global in-vitro diagnostics spending. Additionally, BD’s ongoing investment in digital pharmacy solutions aligns with the broader health-care trend toward automation and inventory optimization, which analysts estimate could improve supply-chain efficiency by up to 8 %.
