What Is Becton Dickinson?
Medicine's quiet plumbing.
Becton Dickinson has been making the sharp end of medicine since 1897: needles, syringes, catheters, infusion systems and diagnostics, the unglamorous kit that nearly every hospital procedure touches. It is the sort of company investors file under boring and defensive. Our sentiment data only half agrees. The crowd here rarely panics outright, but it worries more than the products would suggest.
The CFGI read: Becton Dickinson's crowd called the top before the tape did. Sentiment peaked at 80 out of 100 in Extreme Greed on 11 February 2026 with the price at $180.62; the price itself did not top until $185.39 on 20 February, nine days after the mood had already peaked. Across 273 scored days between 23 June 2025 and 24 July 2026 the stock rarely dipped into Extreme Fear, yet it still ranks 65th most fearful by average mood among the stocks we rank, an anxious reading for a company this defensive.
Becton Dickinson Fear and Greed Index History
Q3 2026 breakdown. The table below updates daily.
The worry shows in the zone ledger: 81 days in Fear against 63 in Greed, 127 in Neutral and just 2 in Extreme Greed, for an average of 48. The worst stretch was 15 straight days in Fear or worse from 4 to 24 March 2026, a run that spans the heaviest day the stock board has printed, 20 March, when 169 of 245 stocks sat in Fear or worse. The single lowest close, 21 on 29 April 2026 at $145.31, is more telling: only 83 of 245 stocks were in Fear or worse that day, so that gloom was mostly Becton Dickinson's own.
The price never justified the fretting. It rose 17.3% across the window from a low of $133.43 set on the very first scored day, 23 June 2025. The crowd's biggest fright, a 27 point drop from 65 to 38 on 9 July 2026, and its biggest relief, a 30 point jump from 31 to 61 on 7 August 2025, both washed through without changing the pattern: a stock that quietly climbs while its crowd quietly worries, one input among hundreds to the Fear and Greed Index we publish for the whole market, and a steady reminder that defensive products do not make a defensive crowd.
