JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images The following segment was excerpted from Hinde Group Q1 2026 Partner Letter. This quarter's portfolio update covers our position in Becton, Dickinson and Company common stock ( BDX ). BDX is a special situation investment that we initiated in July 2025. Becton Dickinson ("BD") develops, manufactures and sells a diversified range of medical supplies and devices. BD's products are used by hospitals, doctors, the pharmaceutical industry and individuals. Ninety percent of hospital patients encounter at least one of the more than 45 billion medical products BD manufactures each year. Roughly 60% of Becton Dickinson's $18.5 billion of revenue comes from the U.S. and around a quarter comes from Europe. On February 9th, Becton Dickinson completed its Reverse Morris Trust transaction with Waters Corporation. BD spun off its Biosciences & Diagnostics Solutions business, and that business simultaneously merged with Waters Corporation. As consideration, BD received $4 billion in cash and Becton Dickinson shareholders received 0.135 shares of Waters Corporation common stock ( WAT ) for each share of BDX they held. Based on the opening price of WAT on February 9th, $332.29, each share of BDX received $44.86 worth of WAT as a result of the transaction. We sold the shares of WAT we received. Following the completion of the transaction, BD used the $4 billion of cash received to repurchase $2 billion of stock and repay $2 billion of debt over the remainder of the first quarter. Becton Dickinson expects to achieve currency-neutral revenue growth in the low single-digit range for the current fiscal year (ending in September) and adjusted diluted EPS of between $12.52 and $12.72. At its closing price at the end of the first quarter, $157.23, BDX offered an 8.0% earnings yield relative to the mid-point of the company's EPS guidance for FY26. Over time, BD should be able to achieve annual organic revenue growth in the mid-single-digit range. Ma...

Japan has a new champion. Softbank has overtaken Toyota to become the country’s largest company by market capitalization. Shares of the Masayoshi Son-led technology group have jumped more than 90% this year, compared with a 13% drop by the carmaker. The historic shift is another example of how investors’ endless thirst for AI-related stocks is reshaping financial markets. Enthusiasm toward Softbank has increased in recent days on signs OpenAI, in which it has a sizeable stake, is preparing for an IPO. The Japanese company is also racing to secure data center bases in major locations across the globe as AI companies battle to acquire sufficient computing power. Softbank said on the weekend it plans to invest as much as €75 billion ($87 billion) to build 5 gigawatts of AI data center capacity in France. By contrast, Toyota’s global sales fell for a third straight month in April, as disruptions due to the Middle East conflict ripple across its business. The company’s suppliers have also warned about shortages due to disruptions to trade. It’s not all rosy at Softbank. There are growing concerns within the company about Son’s ballooning commitment to OpenAI, now totaling more than $60 billion, and what some Softbank officials see as Son’s starstruck devotion to Sam Altman. A key worry is that Son is focusing too much capital on a single company, especially one that’s lately faced business, reputational and legal problems. But right now, investors don’t seem to care as the clamor for AI reaches new heights, leaving old economy giants in the dust. What You Need to Know Today Speaking of AI and markets, take a look at South Korea’s fizzing stocks . The Kospi jumped almost 4% on Monday, bringing its gain this year to about 110%. LG Electronics rose by its daily limit of 30% for a second-straight session on reports that LG Group Chair Koo Kwang-mo will meet with Nvidia’s Jensen Huang this week.
