People want big dividends. I have owned this stock for over 20 years and I am going to bail out for a bigger dividend if things don't change soon.
Great company, strong management but they have to share the wealth.
I am thinking someone downgraded and it hasn't hit the wires or the 4th quarter was weak year over year (pandemic) and people are getting out before Monday's presentation.
The stock has had a great run. Trading above its 50MV. This is normal profit taking that will create a better entry point before it goes to 90

I don't mind listening to valid complaints but dreaming them up and posting them I don't have time for that.

r u sure youre a long time bdx investor?
Please go I am tired of hearing you degrade this stock. If you have owned it over 20 years you probably would know by now that is a company that grows 8-10% per yr, generates a boat load of cash and consistently raising its dividend. Also, if they happen to make a major acquisition this is a $100 stock. So before you comment please take a few minutes and perform your due diligence.
Let me be sure I am understanding you correctly. You got into this stock in 1990 for $6.50 and the current share price of $82 isn't good enough for you?
Do you think they may miss their number? It would tumble!
