Becton Dickinson and Co stock price 2027–2030: scenariosHow are the stock price scenarios calculated? Bear, base and bull prices for the years ahead: the analysts' EPS estimates times the lowest, average and highest P/E of the stock today and at its last five year ends, or of its peers.
If Becton Dickinson and Co's earnings keep growing at the 6.4% a year analysts expect to FY2028, it would earn about 16.10 a share in FY2030. At the P/E it has traded at over the last five years (25.2 to 53.1) that is 405.68 to 854.27 a share, or 602.37 at its average P/E of 37.4. This is arithmetic on the analysts' estimates, not a prediction.
| Fiscal year | EPS | Bear | Base | Bull |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2027 | 13.25 | 333.98 | 495.90 | 703.27 |
| FY2028 | 14.23 | 358.45 | 532.24 | 754.82 |
| FY2029 (extrapolated) | 15.13 | 381.34 | 566.22 | 803.00 |
| FY2030 (extrapolated) | 16.10 | 405.68 | 602.37 | 854.27 |
Each year's EPS is the analysts' consensus to FY2028; the years after grow 6.4% a year (the analysts' growth, at most 15%). Bear, base and bull apply the lowest, average and highest P/E of today and the last five fiscal year ends, leaving out any above 60, the mark of a year of collapsed earnings (25.2, 37.4, 53.1).

Becton Dickinson and Co's P/E of 52.5 is near the top of its 5-year range (23.5 to 63.0, median 34.8). Analysts expect faster growth than in recent years, which can explain part of the high P/E.

Its forward P/E, on the consensus for FY2027, is 16.5.
Fair value on growth is a P/E equal to the EPS growth analysts expect a year (a PEG of 1, at most 25) times the earnings per share of the next twelve months; the ends of the bar are a PEG of 0.75 and 1.25 (a P/E of 18.8 and 31.3). The price against its P/E range
