Fitch upgrades Becton, Dickinson

Fitch said it upgraded Becton, Dickinson & Co.'s (BDX) long-term issuer default rating to BBB from BBB-.

“The upgrade is driven by BDX's successful debt repayment post-C.R. Bard transaction and the company's proven operating strength, supported by its leading hospital market positions and end-market reach. The rating actions apply to approximately $17.6 billion of debt as of Sept. 30, 2021,” Fitch said in a press release.

The outlook is stable.
