Jack, here's a quick comparison tool for BDX to its peer group ratios. biz.yahoo.com On a quick glance, it appears that BDX is on the expensive side on book value and some other metrics, such as debt to equity and PE but its near the top in other metrics such as ROE and dividend rate. In all fairness, BDX is one of the largest companies in its sector and its high market cap and stable history have earned it higher valuations. Investors are willing to pay more for safety specially if they can get a higher dividend rate. I don't own BDX. Haven't looked at it before. Good Luck
