Becton Dickinson and Co. said it plans to break off its bioscience and diagnostic solutions business to focus on medical technology.
Chief Executive Tom Polen said he believes the separation would help differentiate BD in the medical-technology industry, and allow the company to invest more in innovation and margin growth.
The separation is scheduled to be completed in 2026, the company said.
After the separation, BD expects to have $17.8 billion in fiscal 2024 revenue. The biosciences and diagnostics business is expected to make $3.4 billion in revenue for that year.
BD expects to invest in research and development and capital allocation including mergers and acquisitions. Investments will focus on its businesses in medical manufacturing, medication management, biopharmaceuticals and chronic condition treatments.
