Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Rahemtulla]

  A relatively new position for Warren Buffett, this company makes all sorts of medical supplies. Buffett has been making an across-the-board bet on medical companies. He owns Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Sanofi Aventis (SNY). And now the smallest company among the medical stocks he invests in is Becton Dickison. The company just recently increased its dividend, making it the 37th year in a row that it increased its payout. At 14 times earnings, this one has room to grow, particularly with an aging Baby Boomer population requiring more me dical care.

  Beckton, Dicksinson and Co (BDX) is a leading medical device manufacturer, primarily in the healthcare and diagnostics segments. The company sells worldwide and has a solid reputation in major markets. Shares last traded at $78.16, within a 52 week range of $68.07 to $89.75. The price-earnings ratio is currently at 13.14 times, with one of the highest dividend payout across the market, not just the industry. Dividend growth is nearly 13% for the last 20 years. the price-earnings ratio is well below the industry average of nearly 23 times, with the price to sales near industry par.

  The company has recently acquired Carmel Pharma, while at the same time, it sold off some of its own businesses, including the ophthalmology and dwell catheter platforms, which we believe is a a step in the right direction, given the current market conditions as well as healthcare demands.

• [By Martin]

  In Q4 2010, he sold the remainder of his stake of 1,889,889 shares at an average price of $78.81.

  In FY 2010 through September, the company generated revenues of $7.37 billion (+2.95%), and GAAP EPS rose by 10.02% to $5.49. The EBT margin held steady at 22.53% from 22.89% in FY 2009. Q1 2011 produced revenues of $1.84% or -1% from Q1 2010 with non-GAAP EPS of $1.36 vs. $1.30 in Q1 2010. The next earnings release is on April 28, with the consensus non-GAAP EPS estimate at $1.30, an increase of 5.07% over Q2 2010, and revenues of $1.9 billion, an increase of 3.21% over Q2 2010.

  We expect revenues to grow in the low single digits, buoyed by global demand for diabetes products. Given a P/E ratio of 16.3, we believe that BDX shares ought to be trading more closer to 17 times earnings. Internal modeling places a price target of $95. This is a buy for those looking to add a biotech flavor to their portfolio.
