Becton Dickinson (NYSE:BDX) shares dropped about 5% in pre-market trading despite reporting fiscal Q1 2026 results that exceeded consensus expectations. RBC Capital maintained its Sector Perform rating with a $210 price target, noting a Q1 beat but flagging Q2 revenue guidance below analyst forecasts, which likely contributed to the stock’s pre-market decline. The company also provided fiscal year 2026 guidance for “New BD” following its Lifesciences business separation.
