Waters Corporation Announces Merger with BD’s BDS Business

Waters Corporation has reached an agreement with BD to combine with BD's BDS Business. The companies executed a mutual confidentiality agreement in March 2025, and subsequent discussions led to Waters submitting a preliminary non-binding indication of interest. The proposal included a structure aimed at providing cash proceeds to BD sufficient to maintain or potentially reduce BD's net leverage following the transaction. Both companies anticipate strong revenue and cost synergy opportunities from the combination, particularly in areas such as cross-selling Waters products in research markets and promoting LC-MS in clinical diagnostics.
