BD will invest $3 billion to expand its manufacturing operations in the United States, aiming to increase the proportion of critical medical supplies sourced domestically to approximately 80%. The agreement links the company’s U.S. manufacturing commitments to tariff relief. Information about the stock price was added in the third paragraph, analyst commentary in the sixth paragraph, and background information in the eleventh paragraph. Siddhi Mahatole, Reuters, October 6 — Becton Dickinson and Company (BDX.N) has become the first major U.S. medical device manufacturer to sign an agreement with the U.S. government to expand domestic manufacturing, with a pledge to invest $19 billion in the coming years in exchange for protection against future tariffs. Under the agreement, the company said on Tuesday it plans to make capital, operational, and supply chain investments in the U.S., with $3 billion specifically allocated to strategic manufacturing facilities across the country. Shares of the medical device maker rose 2.4% in early trading. This deal is one of several measures by the Trump administration to encourage domestic healthcare manufacturing through the threat of tariffs, with several major pharmaceutical companies having already committed billions of dollars toward building and expanding production and R&D facilities in the U.S. The agreement ties BD’s U.S. manufacturing commitments to future exemptions from tariffs on related products and raw materials under Section 232, depending on the final scope of the measures and whether the company achieves agreed-upon milestones. Jefferies analyst Matthew Taylor commented, “We believe clarity on tariff policy, or tariff impacts being potentially ‘not as bad as feared,’ could be an inflection point for the medtech sector.” He added, “We are curious if there are more medtech-related announcements pending.” The company plans to increase annual U.S. production by around 5 billion basic medical supply units, raising the domestic supply share to roughly 80%. BD also intends to use U.S.-made steel to manufacture all needles for the U.S. market domestically. Becton Dickinson stated that, as the final tariff rates, product range, and implementation timelines remain undetermined, the financial impact of the agreement has not been quantified yet. This announcement builds on President Donald Trump’s Monday statement that the company has agreed to invest $3 billion to shift basic medical product manufacturing to the U.S., with more than $1 billion allocated to Nebraska. In January this year, Becton Dickinson announced a $110 million investment to expand the production of prefilled syringes and needles in Columbus, Nebraska, expected to create about 120 jobs. Syringe products are expected to start shipping to customers by mid-2026.

Updated stock data and added analyst comments in paragraphs 8 and 10 Christy Santhosh - Reuters, October 6 - ArriVent BioPharma (AVBP.O) announced on Tuesday that its oral therapy for a rare form of lung cancer failed to significantly delay disease progression in a late-stage clinical trial, causing the company's share price to plunge by nearly 60% in early trading. The therapy, firmonertinib, was tested in treatment-naïve advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients carrying a gene mutation known as EGFR exon 20 insertion, which may promote cancer growth. This mutation accounts for about 0.5% to 1% of all NSCLC cases. NSCLC makes up around 85% of all lung cancer cases. An assessment by independent reviewers showed that ArriVent’s 240 mg dose therapy extended median progression-free survival to 11 months in the trial, compared to just 9.5 months for the chemotherapy group. CEO Bing Yao stated that the improvement in progression-free survival (i.e., the period during which a patient's cancer does not worsen or spread) was not "significant". "These disappointing results are not what we had hoped for, especially for patients who... are in urgent need of more effective treatment options." The company said it is reviewing the complete dataset to determine the most appropriate development path for firmonertinib, and no new safety signals were observed in the trial. BTIG analyst Jeet Mukherjee noted that the main reason the trial appears to have failed was the control group's performance exceeding expectations—their progression-free survival reached 9.5 months, when only 7.5 to 8 months was anticipated; firmonertinib’s 11-month result matched the expected range of 9 to 11 months. Additionally, firmonertinib is currently undergoing an advanced clinical trial in NSCLC patients with rare EGFR PACC mutations in their tumors. "This result is a significant setback for the exon 20 mutation treatment space, but the PACC program still has clinical support," said Clear Street analyst Kaveri Pohlman. The therapy has been approved in China for NSCLC patients carrying specific mutations. (To aid non-English speakers, Reuters has automated the translation of its reports into several other languages.
