PAST TOP PICK
Becton Dickinson
(A Top Pick Aug 04/23, Down 13%)

Still really likes it. Major issue was surgeries on hold during Covid. Revenues declined, now returning to growth. Free cashflow yield ~4.5%. Earnings growth should return to double digits by end of 2024 and into the next couple of years. Unique. Compelling value.

DON'T BUY

BDX vs. TMO

Avoid TMO because their revenues are flattening. Both trade at a high PE. BDX hasn't done much in share movement. He'd rather pay more for Boston Scientific which performs better.

He has no plans to sell it. They were very strong last year. It has been a little slow this year. You are not going to have explosive growth every single year. You might want to watch it and buy it if it dips coming out of the pandemic.

Syringes, IVs, disposable items. On his hot watch list. He's looking at hospital utilization rates. The market is waiting too. Once rates tick up, they'll be a direct beneficiary.
