Baxter Earnings: A Dividend Cut and Guidance Cut Spook Market
Baxter reported third-quarter results that included 41% growth in adjusted earnings per share to $0.69, which exceeded FactSet's consensus of $0.60. New management reduced its 2025 EPS guidance by 3% at the midpoint, which implies a much weaker fourth quarter than expected, and cut the dividend.
