BD shares get boost from CNBC’s Jim Cramer

Becton Dickinson & Co. (NYSE:BDX) shares have risen nearly 3% since receiving a boost from CNBC Mad Money host Jim Cramer yesterday.

Shares rose approximately 1.3% yesterday after Cramer supported buying the company’s stock, and have risen approximately 1.6% today.

“I think it’s a strong buy. It’s one of my absolute favorites and it’s a local company. I would pick it up hand over fist through this weakness,” Cramer said, according to a CNBC report from yesterday.

The move comes only a handful of days after BD completed its $24 billion buy-out of C.R. Bard (NYSE:BCR).

The $317-per-share deal was first announced in April and in the past few months won conditional approval in the E.U., the U.S. and China.
