Execute, execute, execute: and they do so in markets that are insensitive to fluctuations in the economy and continue to grow at faster than GDP rates. Gross margins continue upward. They are also a great hedge against a downturning market; new money tends to flow in in a sinking economy.

9.7% year over year sales growth, 1.3% dividend yield that has been increasing every year (they just raised it again), quarterly earnings growth (year over year) as far back as my research allows, 22% return on equity, 13% net margin. This is a very well run business in a great market.

What can you say about a company that is simply just spot on with every move they make. Go take a look through your medicine cabinet and count how many products belong to BD. How about the next time you go for a blood or allergy test you ask them what type of needles they use. The Answer BD
This company continues to innovate through smart acquisitions; by the way that?s how most large corporations do it. I see this stock continuing to rise over the next 6 months with a split in a little under a year. BD is a strong company with a solid balance sheet.
