BD's fiscal third quarter was a beat-and-raise: adjusted EPS of $3.23 topped the $3.17 consensus, revenue rose 5.4% to $4.98 billion, and management lifted the midpoint of full-year adjusted EPS guidance. Gross margin slipped to 46.5% and GAAP net income fell 34.3% to $377 million on a discontinued-operations loss, so read the adjusted headline next to the GAAP one.
