Becton Dickinson (BDX-N) is a leading player in the medical disposables market, holding a significant 25% market share and a market capitalization over $60 billion. The company faced challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly with the postponement of elective surgeries, resulting in a temporary decline in revenues. However, growth is now rebounding, with projections indicating annual growth of 8-10% and the potential for double-digit earnings growth by the end of 2024. Analysts are optimistic, noting the company's strong cash flow, ongoing acquisition opportunities, and share buyback initiatives. Despite its lackluster stock performance, many experts find it compelling and believe it is positioned for future growth.
90% of their products are disposable medical supplies. Problem was that during Covid, there were fewer operations, so sales fell and are slowing catching up--8-10% growth annually in the next few years, he thinks. Stock is cheap now, but the stock has done nothing for him. Has excellent prospects.
With a market cap of over $60 billion it is the largest player in the medical disposables sector with 25% market share. Growth stalled for two years during COVID but is accelerating now. Its profits are solid so there is lots of room for acquisitions and a start to buying back shares. Trades at 17X earnings and there should be double digit earnings growth ahead. Can be somewhat volatile. Buy 16 Hold 2 Sell 0
(Analysts’ price target is $281.00)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.
