  • Provided segment outlook: MPT faces extended Novum pump recall (beyond 2025) but leans on Spectrum pump and 11% growth in advanced surgery; HST reports 30% increase in order book and stabilizing frontline care; Pharma sees rapid compounding growth, anesthesia recovery, and U.S. injectables softness from IV-push shifts.
  • Targeting margin expansion and cash-flow improvement through new product launches (e.g., Connex 360 monitor), mix optimization, cost-leverage initiatives, and elimination of stranded costs by end-2027.

Baxter outlines strategic stabilization and segment outlook at Jefferies conference
BAX
  • After the Hillrom acquisition (Dec 2021) and subsequent sales of its BPS and kidney businesses in Jan 2023, Baxter’s CFO said no further large portfolio changes are planned; focus now is on operational consistency, cash generation, and reinvestment.
  • In MPT, Spectrum pumps (1,500 U.S./Canada sites) will bridge demand while the Novum pump remains on voluntary recall (timeline extends beyond 2025); fluids reset to a new baseline post-hurricane; HST CCS orders are up 30%, and pharma growth is driven by compounding and anesthesia but U.S. injectables face mix headwinds.
  • Pricing tailwinds include ~100 bp of price gains from two re-negotiated GPO contracts in 2025 (third contract renegotiation begins late 2026), while tariffs are a ~$40 m P&L and ~$110 m cash headwind being offset by targeted pricing and supply-chain actions; margin levers also include the Connex 360 monitor launch, manufacturing cost programs, and SG&A savings from kidney business divestiture by end 2027.
  • Baxter plans an analyst day in 2026 for its long-range plan update and will provide 2026 guidance on its Q4 call; management will continuously evaluate the portfolio under the new CEO but sees no material changes.

Demand Weakening
Guidance Update
  • Portfolio optimization: Following the December 2021 Hillrom acquisition, Baxter divested its BPS contract manufacturing, kidney (Vantive) and Ivy Solutions China businesses to reduce debt and streamline to a stable core portfolio, with only selective divestitures expected going forward.
  • Segment outlook: In MPT, the Novum pump remains recalled (timeline extends beyond 2025) with fallback to the Spectrum pump (installed in 1,500 institutions); fluids have reset to a new baseline below pre-hurricane demand; advanced surgery grew 11% last quarter. HST saw CCS orders up 30% YoY and stabilized frontline care in 2025. Pharma’s compounding remains strong, anesthesia grew high single digits, while U.S. injectables face softness from IV-push shifts and cost-of-ownership scrutiny.
  • Margin and pricing: Baxter targets margin expansion via product/geography mix, manufacturing cost leverage, automation and SG&A reductions (stranded costs cleared by end 2027); secured ~100 bps enterprise-level price gains through two GPO contract renewals, with the third renegotiation to begin late 2026 for 2027 impact.
  • Product roadmap: The Connex 360 next-generation monitor launches with minimal 2025 impact but is expected to be margin-accretive from 2026 onward.
  • Tariffs and supply chain: A net P&L tariff headwind of $40 million (cash impact ~$110 million) is being mitigated through targeted pricing, supplier negotiations and a “build-where-you-sell” manufacturing strategy.
