Thread regarding BD (Becton Dickinson & Co.) layoffs

Employee stock purchase

Glad to see BD has finally allowed an employee stock purchase program. I was a J&J employee for about 10 years and purchased stock. It was a nice incentive. Held it for years and made a nice profit rolling dividend long after I left. With the current price of BD stock buy low. It has to go up sometime. Will you be buying?

Just look at BDX performance over the past 5 years with a relatively young CEO who won’t leave unless dragged out kicking and screaming. If you can make an argument that now for some reason the stock will start a lasting upward trend, I’m all ears. Remember all the hoopla around BD2025!!!!! It’s now 2026…. lol.

No way! Not a chance in H*ll I’m buying anymore BD stock. What a joke even offering it to us with the way the stock price has been flat for year and years

I'm looking forward to it. We had this with Bard and I made some awesome money but the stock was also doing well.

Even with the cr-p stock, I'm still doing this BD because it's an automatic 15% profit. You get the stock at the lowest price between start and end of 6mo time frame plus an additional 15% discount.

Only reason i won't participate is depending if there is any hold requirement after purchase. So far haven't seen a requirement to hold it and so far they've said once you recieve the stock you can sell it.
