BD Q4 Earnings & Potential Impact

So, Q4 earnings are just around the corner, and I'm feeling a bit anxious. Historically, BD's performance has been a pretty good indicator of what's to come, and the market sentiment around medical device companies hasn't been exactly rosy. I'm not trying to spread panic, but I'm wondering if anyone has any read on how the numbers might shake out and what that could mean for our jobs. We've seen some pretty aggressive cost-cutting measures in other big medtech players, and I'm starting to wonder if BD is going to follow suit. Has anyone heard anything, even indirectly, about budget freezes, hiring slowdowns, or performance reviews that seem more critical than usual? It's hard to get a clear picture from the outside, and honestly, the lack of official communication on potential headcount changes makes it even tougher. Just looking for some honest perspectives from fellow employees.
