Michael Feld, who serves as Executive Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer at Becton Dickinson & Co (NYSE: BDX), completed a sale of 75 shares of the company on February 26, 2026. The shares changed hands at $181.84 each, producing a total transaction value of $13,638.
Following this disposition, Feld is recorded as directly owning 21,308 shares of Becton Dickinson common stock. That holdings figure accounts for adjustments tied to the integration of the company’s Biosciences and Diagnostic Solutions units with Waters Corp.
The sale was carried out under a pre-established Rule 10b5-1 trading plan that Feld adopted on February 7, 2025. The use of such a plan indicates the transaction was part of a previously arranged schedule for trading company shares.
These insider trading details arrive alongside Becton Dickinson’s fiscal first-quarter 2026 financial report, which showed revenue of $5.25 billion, a 0.4% increase compared with the prior year. The revenue figure exceeded Wall Street projections of $5.15 billion and outperformed the company’s internal guidance, which had anticipated a low-single-digit decline.
Earnings per share for the quarter were $2.91, surpassing consensus forecasts by $0.10. In conjunction with those results, Becton Dickinson announced plans to launch tender offers to repurchase up to $1.6 billion of its outstanding debt securities, spanning 15 separate series.
