Becton, Dickinson and Company (NYSE:BDX) is a healthcare firm that sells catheters, IV connectors, and other associated products. Its shares are down by 25% year-to-date primarily due to a massive 18% drop in May. Becton, Dickinson and Company (NYSE:BDX)’s shares sank after the firm cut its full-year profit guidance due to tariff constraints. Here’s what Cramer said as the shares sank:

“We talk a lot about the good ones. Becton Dickinson today, this is . . .a company I thought was a pretty simple company. They make a lot of different parts, you go to their catalogue for med devices. I know that Starboard had a stake. . .maybe you could get a hold of them . . .but this is a terrible, terrible quarter. And I’m kind of shocked. This was a blocking and tackling business. And it’s almost like it’s falling apart. I don’t know. I’m trying to find out more about it. This is a really bad miss. And I’m quite surprised. When it was 230, 240, I thought it had a real shot to go much higher. And it’s just not good at all.”
