Becton, Dickinson And Co. Agrees To Pay $175 Million Civil Penalty
The Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday announced it had <a href="https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2024-201">settled charges</a> against Becton, Dickinson and Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BDX#NYSE">BDX</a>), known as BD, for repeatedly misleading investors about risks associated with its continued sales of its Alaris infusion pump and for overstating its income by failing to record the costs of fixing multiple software flaws with the pump. BD agreed to pay a $175 million civil penalty.

"BD repeatedly painted a misleading picture of its Alaris infusion pump for investors and then doubled down by keeping them in the dark when the device's issues came to a head with the FDA in late 2019," said Sanjay Wadhwa, Acting Director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement.&nbsp;
"Public companies have a fundamental duty to accurately disclose material business risks and should expect to be held accountable when they fall short in that regard," Wadhwa added.&nbsp;
The SEC's order finds that BD violated antifraud, reporting, internal accounting controls, books and records and disclosure controls provisions of the federal securities laws. BD agreed to cease and desist from further violations of these provisions, to retain an independent compliance consultant to review and make recommendations concerning its disclosure controls and procedures and to the $175 million civil penalty, without admitting or denying the SEC's findings.&nbsp;
Express Fails To Disclose CEO's Full Executive Compensation&nbsp;
The SEC announced on Tuesday that it has settled charges against fashion retailer Express, Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXPRQ#OTC">EXPRQ</a>) for failing to disclose executive compensation it paid to its now former CEO with Express agreeing to a cease-and-desist order, without admitting or denying the SEC's findings.
According to the SEC's order, Express failed to disclose $979,269 worth of perks and personal benefits provided to its CEO for fiscal years 2019, 2020, and 2021. As a result, Express understated the "All Other Compensation" portion of its CEO's compensation by an average of 94% over the three years. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy earlier this year.&nbsp;
"Public companies have a duty to comply with their disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation, including perks and personal benefits, so that investors can make educated investment decisions," said Sanjay Wadhwa, Acting Director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement.&nbsp;
"Here, although Express fell short in carrying out its obligation, the Commission declined to impose a civil penalty based, in part, on the company's self-report, cooperation with the staff's investigation, and remedial efforts," Wadhwa added.

Becton, Dickinson And Babson Diagnostics Announced An Expansion Of Fingertip Blood Collection And Testing Technologies For Use By U.S. Health Systems And Other Large Provider Networks In Settings Like Urgent Cares, Doctor Offices, And Other Ambulatory Care Settings

BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BDX#NYSE">BDX</a>), a leading global medical technology company, today issued the following statement:
BD has reached an agreement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to resolve the previously disclosed investigation related to prior public disclosures and SEC reporting regarding the BD Alaris&#x2122; System, which was acquired by BD from CareFusion in 2015 and is part of the BD Medication Management Solutions business.
The SEC Order, the findings of which BD neither admits nor denies, relate to matters concerning BD Alaris that occurred more than four years ago. As part of the settlement, BD has agreed to pay $175 million to the SEC, an amount that was reserved and disclosed in the company's fiscal year 2024 Form 10-K and was contemplated in BD's fiscal year 2025 cash flow plan. No financial restatements are required as a result of the settlement, and the settlement amount does not impact BD's investments in innovation or its previously disclosed capital allocation strategy. BD is not updating its fiscal 2025 guidance as a result of the settlement. The company believes that settling with the SEC is the right course of action to fully resolve this matter and move forward.
The BD Alaris&#x2122; System is safe and effective and is a critical part of health care in the United States. The system has been used for many years to safely deliver IV therapies to patients, including throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The updated BD Alaris&#x2122; System received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in July 2023, and the company continues to update its Alaris fleet.
BD has implemented a number of improvements to its operational and governance processes and related disclosure practices. BD is committed to operating with integrity and the highest ethical standards to produce high-quality, safe and effective products and serve as a trusted partner for its customers and their patients.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1734120016_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Becton Dickinson has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Becton Dickinson's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Becton Dickinson's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.91%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

&#8220;We are pleased to report a strong fourth quarter and end to our fiscal year, as we once again delivered results that exceeded our expectations across key financial metrics&#8230;Additionally, the recent launch of our small-pack GLP-1 needles in Germany has gone well, and we are evaluating expanding into other markets,&#8221; said Devdatt (Dev) Kurdikar, Chief Executive Officer of Embecta.
The Becton, Dickinson and Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BDX#NYSE">BDX</a>) spin-off announced that it decided to discontinue its insulin patch pump program and plans to initiate a restructuring plan.
In July, Embecta, a manufacturer of disposable&nbsp;insulin pen needles&nbsp;and syringes, said it is considering a potential sale following a significant drop in its share price since being spun off from health tech <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/24/07/39916116/insulin-device-maker-embecta-weighs-sale-after-70-share-decline-following-becton-dickinson-spin-off" rel="noreferrer noopener">giant&nbsp;Becton, Dickinson</a>.
&#8220;We intend to concentrate our resources on our core business and to prioritize our free cash flow towards paying down debt, which we expect will give us the financial flexibility needed for future investments,&#8221; Kurdikar said.
Embecta expects between $25 million and $30 million in pre-tax, cash charges for planned workforce reductions and other associated costs from the discontinuation of its patch pump program.

Given the organizational restructuring plan, the company has postponed its Analyst &amp; Investor Day to Spring 2025.
Guidance: Embecta says that for the fiscal year 2025, excluding the Patch Pump program, revenues are expected to be $1.093 billion—$1.11 billion compared to a consensus of $1.12 billion, with an adjusted EPS of $2.70—$2.90 versus the consensus of $2.27.
Price Action: EMBC stock is up 33.5% at $19.23 at last check Tuesday.

Becton Dickinson Spinoff Embecta Stops Insulin Patch Pump Program, Plans Restructuring, Stock Jumps

On CNBC's &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mad-money-lightning-round">Mad Money Lightning Round</a>,&#8221; Jim Cramer said Altria Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MO#NYSE">MO</a>) is &#8220;undervalued,&#8221; but he is not going to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MO/guidance">recommend tobacco stocks</a>.
On Oct. 31, the company reported third-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $1.38. It beat the street view of $1.35. Quarterly sales of $5.334 billion (+1.3%) beat the analyst consensus estimate of $5.326 billion.
Cramer recommended selling Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>).
Super Micro Computer filed a FormNT 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission, indicating that it's unable to file its 2025 fiscal-year first-quarter earnings on time.
When asked about The Boeing Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), he said, &#8220;I prefer not to be in a stock that is going to lose a lot of money for a long time.&#8221;
According to Reuters, the company reportedly begins issuing layoff notices to employees affected by a major restructuring plan. The plan, which aims to reduce Boeing's global workforce by 17,000 jobs—approximately 10% of its total—comes as the heavily indebted aerospace <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/41950702/boeing-reportedly-plans-furloughs-whats-going-on">giant seeks to cut costs</a>.
Becton, Dickinson and Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BDX#NYSE">BDX</a>) has &#8220;broken down severely,&#8221; Cramer said. &#8220;If Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is going to be the head of HHS, then it's going to hurt a lot of vaccines, it could hurt a lot of their business.&#8221;
On Nov. 7, the company posted better-than-expected results for its fourth quarter.
&#8220;They have a lot of phase one stuff, and phase one is might early. Too early for me to bet on,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about IDEAYA Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IDYA#NASDAQ">IDYA</a>).
On Nov. 4, IDEAYA Biosciences reported a quarterly loss of 60 cents per share, compared to consensus estimates of a loss of 64 cents per share.
&#8220;I just don't know what is wrong,&#8221; Cramer said about AstraZeneca PLC (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZN#NASDAQ">AZN</a>). &#8220;My god is this thing going lower.&#8221;
On Nov. 12, AstraZeneca reported third-quarter sales of $13.57 billion, up 18% year over year (+21% at constant currency), beating the consensus of $13.09 billion.
Price Action:

Jim Cramer Says This Tobacco Stock Is 'Undervalued' But He's Not Recommending It

The U.S. stock market closed at record highs Thursday after the Federal Reserve's widely expected decision to lower interest rates and Fed Chair Jerome Powell's press conference where he reassured markets by dismissing concerns about his potential resignation or removal following the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41823887/powell-dismisses-talk-of-resignation-after-trump-victory-says-policy-is-still-res">election of Donald Trump. </a>
The S&amp;P 500 — as tracked by SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) — closed at 5,973 points, up 0.7% for the day.
Tech stocks outperformed the broader market, with the Nasdaq 100, tracked by the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), surging 1.5% higher to an all-time high of 21,100 points.
Notably, the combined market capitalization of the Magnificent Seven — Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), Amazon Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) — soared to over $17 trillion, setting a new peak.
The Dow Jones stalled after Wednesday&#8217;s 3.6% rise, while small caps eased 0.4% following a 5.8% jump the previous day.
Top-performing sectors in the S&amp;P 500 were technology, up 1.8%, followed by communications services and consumer discretionary, both up by 1.3%. Financials, which rallied the most Wednesday, lagged on Thursday, down 1.5%.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Fed Cuts Rates, Powell Dismisses Concerns Over His Future </h3>
The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 0.25% to 4.5%-4.75% as expected, a reduction in the pace of easing after the larger 0.5% cut in September.
The Fed recognized robust economic momentum, with the GDP rising by 2.8% in the second quarter, and resilient consumer confidence.
Powell downplayed weak October employment data, noting that near-zero job growth was largely due to temporary factors like strikes and hurricanes rather than underlying economic weakness.
Powell described the rate cut as part of a "further recalibration" of monetary policy, which he emphasized remains "restrictive." He hinted at the possibility of more easing in the future but refrained from signaling a specific rate cut at the December meeting, stressing a data-dependent approach.
When asked if he would resign if requested by Trump, Powell responded firmly, "No," reiterating that the president does not have the legal authority to remove the Fed chair.
Following Powell's comments, market-implied expectations for a 25-basis-point rate cut in December surged to 75%, recovering from Wednesday's post-election dip.
Treasury yields pulled back sharply, with the 10-year yield dropping 10 basis points to 4.33%, almost erasing the spike from the previous day.
The U.S. dollar weakened 0.7%, while gold prices, as tracked by the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>), rebounded 1.8% after Wednesday&#8217;s 3% slump. 
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) traded up by 1% at 4:30 p.m. in New York, hitting a record-high of $76,990 during the session.

<h3>Evaluating Becton Dickinson P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Becton Dickinson has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 261.98 of the Health Care Equipment &amp; Supplies industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued.

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.
