Danaher (DHR - Free Report) closed the last trading session at $179.01, gaining 0% over the past four weeks, but there could be plenty of upside left in the stock if short-term price targets set by Wall Street analysts are any guide. The mean price target of $237 indicates a 32.4% upside potential.

The average comprises 23 short-term price targets ranging from a low of $200.00 to a high of $310.00, with a standard deviation of $25.98. While the lowest estimate indicates an increase of 11.7% from the current price level, the most optimistic estimate points to an 73.2% upside. More than the range, one should note the standard deviation here, as it helps understand the variability of the estimates. The smaller the standard deviation, the greater the agreement among analysts.

While the consensus price target is a much-coveted metric for investors, solely banking on this metric to make an investment decision may not be wise at all. That's because the ability and unbiasedness of analysts in setting price targets have long been questionable.

But, for DHR, an impressive average price target is not the only indicator of a potential upside. Strong agreement among analysts about the company's ability to report better earnings than they predicted earlier strengthens this view. While a positive trend in earnings estimate revisions doesn't gauge how much a stock could gain, it has proven to be powerful in predicting an upside.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Here's What You Should Know About Analysts' Price TargetsAccording to researchers at several universities across the globe, a price target is one of many pieces of information about a stock that misleads investors far more often than it guides. In fact, empirical research shows that price targets set by several analysts, irrespective of the extent of agreement, rarely indicate where the price of a stock could actually be heading.

While Wall Street analysts have deep knowledge of a company's fundamentals and the sensitivity of its business to economic and industry issues, many of them tend to set overly optimistic price targets. Are you wondering why?

They usually do that to drum up interest in shares of companies that their firms either have existing business relationships with or are looking to be associated with. In other words, business incentives of firms covering a stock often result in inflated price targets set by analysts.

However, a tight clustering of price targets, which is represented by a low standard deviation, indicates that analysts have a high degree of agreement about the direction and magnitude of a stock's price movement. While that doesn't necessarily mean the stock will hit the average price target, it could be a good starting point for further research aimed at identifying the potential fundamental driving forces.

That said, while investors should not entirely ignore price targets, making an investment decision solely based on them could lead to disappointing ROI. So, price targets should always be treated with a high degree of skepticism.

Why DHR Could Witness a Solid UpsideAnalysts' growing optimism over the company's earnings prospects, as indicated by strong agreement among them in revising EPS estimates higher, could be a legitimate reason to expect an upside in the stock. That's because empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.

Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has increased 0.6%, as two estimates have moved higher while one has gone lower.

Moreover, DHR currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), which means it is in the top 20% of more than 4,000 stocks that we rank based on four factors related to earnings estimates. Given an impressive externally-audited track record, this is a more conclusive indication of the stock's potential upside in the near term. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>> .

Therefore, while the consensus price target may not be a reliable indicator of how much DHR could gain, the direction of price movement it implies does appear to be a good guide.

An AI Play Hiding in Plain Sight: A Look at Johnson ControlsDanaher reported second-quarter sales of $6.3 billion. Core revenue increased 3% year over year, while core growth excluding respiratory testing revenue rose 4.5%, representing a 150-basis-point acceleration from the first quarter. Adjusted diluted net earnings per common share were $1.94, up about 8% year over year. The company generated $1.3 billion in free cash flow during the quarter and $2.4 billion in the first half, with year-to-date free cash flow to net income conversion of 124%.

Blair said demand from large pharma and biopharma customers remained healthy, biotech funding improved, academic and government markets largely stabilized, and clinical and applied markets continued to be sources of strength. Core revenue in high-growth markets increased more than 10%, including mid-single-digit growth in China.

Life Sciences Posts Strongest Quarter in Several Years 3 Stocks Offering Strong Value and StabilityDanaher’s Life Sciences segment was a standout in the quarter, with core revenue increasing 5.5%. Blair said the segment delivered its strongest quarter in several years, helped by improving customer demand and product innovation.

Pall’s applied filtration business grew approximately 10%, led by strength in microelectronics. Chief Financial Officer Matt Gugino said microelectronics grew faster than the overall Pall business, while energy and aerospace also contributed. Blair said Pall’s filtration solutions are mission-critical across the semiconductor manufacturing workflow and noted the company is starting up a new plant in Singapore.

Danaher’s life sciences instrument businesses grew mid-single digits, with solid growth at Beckman Life Sciences, Leica Microsystems and SCIEX. Blair highlighted Beckman Life Sciences’ growth in automation, saying the business is positioned to benefit as customers invest in autonomous labs and AI-enabled drug discovery.

Life sciences consumables collectively grew low single digits. Integrated DNA Technologies rose on demand for minimal residual disease testing solutions, while Abcam delivered its best quarter since Danaher acquired it. Blair said Abcam benefited from improved academic market stability, stronger commercial execution and progress expanding into biopharma and diagnostics end markets.

Bioprocessing Growth Slowed by Customer Timing The Biotechnology segment reported core revenue growth of 2.5%. Within the segment, discovery and medical grew mid-single digits, while bioprocessing grew low single digits across both consumables and equipment.

Bioprocessing was a major focus of the question-and-answer portion of the call after Danaher lowered its outlook for the business. Blair said several large chromatography resin shipments planned primarily for the second and third quarters were delayed at customer request due to production schedule changes and site readiness issues. He said the affected shipments were tied primarily to commercial programs where Danaher is “specced into” production.

Gugino said the second-quarter impact was about 500 basis points to bioprocessing growth, or roughly $50 million to $60 million. For the full year, he said a little more than $100 million shifted out of 2026 and into next year, representing a couple hundred basis points of growth impact. Danaher is not assuming those shipments return in the fourth quarter, although Gugino said there is some chance they could.

Management emphasized that underlying demand remained strong. Blair said consumables and equipment orders both grew mid-teens in the quarter, and he characterized the delays as concentrated among a few large commercial customers rather than a broad-based change in demand. He also said inventory levels across the market are “quite a bit lower” than in prior years, reflecting shorter lead times and continued robust demand for biologic therapies.

Blair said Danaher continues to believe Cytiva’s bioprocessing franchise has a high-single-digit long-term growth outlook. He also said the company is in the early stages of a multiyear capital expenditure cycle tied to biologics demand and reshoring activity.

Diagnostics Growth Led by Non-Respiratory Revenue The Diagnostics segment reported 2% core revenue growth. Excluding respiratory testing revenue, core growth was 5%.

Clinical diagnostics businesses grew mid-single digits, including high-single-digit growth outside China. Leica Biosystems and Radiometer collectively grew high single digits, supported by instruments and consumables. Beckman Coulter Diagnostics grew mid-single digits globally, with another quarter of immunoassay revenue and installed base growth.

Blair said declines in China at Beckman Coulter began to moderate as pricing stabilized and volumes improved. Gugino later said China policy headwinds are starting to lessen, contributing to expected improvement in the back half of the year.

In molecular diagnostics, Cepheid’s non-respiratory core revenue increased low double digits, led by hospital-acquired infection and sexual health assays. Blair said growth was supported by menu expansion, including the Multiplex GI panel, and account wins with large hospital networks. Respiratory revenue was in line with expectations but down year over year due to lower seasonal infection rates.

Masimo Closed Early, StatLab Deal Pending Danaher closed its acquisition of Masimo in early June, earlier than initially expected. Blair said the business is expected to be immediately accretive strategically and to adjusted earnings per share. He said Masimo delivered high-single-digit revenue growth in the first half and had already received FDA 510(k) clearance for an AI-enabled opioid-induced respiratory depression detection solution.

Gugino said the earlier Masimo closing contributed about $0.07 to $0.08 to the updated earnings outlook. He said Masimo’s core growth was high single digits and “even a little bit better than we expected.”

Danaher also announced that Leica Biosystems plans to acquire StatLab, a manufacturer of consumables used in anatomical pathology workflows. Blair said StatLab generated about $250 million in 2025 revenue, with more than 85% recurring revenue. Danaher expects the business to grow high single digits over the long term and be accretive to adjusted EPS in the first full year of ownership. The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2026, subject to customary conditions and regulatory approvals.

During the quarter, Danaher also repurchased 5 million shares of common stock for about $900 million.

Guidance Raised for 2026 Danaher raised its full-year adjusted diluted EPS guidance to a range of $8.45 to $8.60, up from its previous outlook of $8.35 to $8.55. The company continues to expect full-year 2026 core revenue growth of 3% to 4%.

For the third quarter, Danaher expects revenue growth of approximately 2% to 3%, including a roughly 250-basis-point headwind from respiratory testing. Excluding respiratory, the company expects core growth of about 5% in the third quarter. Management said it expects to exit the fourth quarter at a mid-single-digit core revenue growth rate as respiratory headwinds fade.

Gugino said the updated full-year outlook reflects stronger anticipated life sciences growth, offset by a more conservative bioprocessing outlook due to the customer-driven timing shifts. He said the midpoint of the new EPS range implies nearly 10% EPS growth for the year.

CompaniesJuly 21 (Reuters) - Danaher (DHR.N), opens new tab raised its annual profit forecast on Tuesday, but shares fell nearly 12% in premarket trading after the life sciences firm ​trimmed its core revenue growth outlook and reported weaker-than-expected revenue ‌in its biotechnology business.

The results come as conditions are improving for the life sciences tools industry as biotechs and pharmaceutical companies increase spending on research and manufacturing ​programs after a prolonged post-pandemic slowdown.

Keep up with the latest medical breakthroughs and healthcare trends with the Reuters Health Rounds newsletter. Sign up here.

However, the outlook is "mixed and not ​consistent with a re-acceleration narrative," RBC Capital Markets analysts ⁠said.

Danaher's results also weighed on peers; Agilent Technologies (A.N), opens new tab fell 1.7% before the bell, while Thermo Fisher Scientific (TMO.N), opens new tab, ​Revvity (RVTY.N), opens new tab and Illumina (ILMN.O), opens new tab declined 2% to 4%.

Danaher lowered the upper end of its ​core revenue growth outlook range for the year to 4% from 6% to reflect the impact of weaker respiratory testing revenue, while maintaining the lower end at 3%.

Revenue ​from its biotechnology unit rose 4% to $1.92 billion, below estimates of $1.97 ​billion, according to data compiled by LSEG.

Danaher said underlying demand for bioprocessing, including equipment and ‌consumables ⁠used to make biologic drugs, remained strong, with orders rising by a mid-teens percentage in the quarter, although customer project timing weighed on revenue.

"Assuming demand is not falling off a cliff this badly and ​this is just a ​push-out issue, ⁠we would think some of the weakness would get bought throughout the day for shares to close ​down," Barclays analysts said.

Danaher expects full-year adjusted per-share ​profit of $8.45 ⁠to $8.60, up from $8.35 to $8.55 previously. Analysts were expecting full-year adjusted profit of $8.45 per share.

The company posted second-quarter profit of $1.94 per share, above analysts' estimates ⁠of $1.83 ​per share. Revenue rose 5.5% to $6.27 billion, ​topping estimates of $6.10 billion.

Life sciences revenue increased 5.5% to $1.88 billion, above estimates of $1.80 billion.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Danaher Corporation (NYSE: DHR) today announced results for the second quarter 2026. All results in this release reflect only continuing operations and period-to-period comparisons are year-over-year unless otherwise noted.

Key Second Quarter 2026 Results

Net earnings were $870 million, or $1.23 per diluted common share, up 60% year-over-year. Non-GAAP adjusted diluted net earnings per common share grew 8.0% to $1.94. Revenues increased 5.5% year-over-year to $6.3 billion. Non-GAAP core revenue increased 3.0% year-over-year and non-GAAP core revenue excluding respiratory testing revenue increased 4.5% year-over-year. Operating cash flow was $1.5 billion and non-GAAP free cash flow was $1.3 billion. Strong Q2 earnings performance and earlier-than-anticipated completion of Masimo acquisition enabling increased full year 2026 adjusted diluted net earnings per common share guidance. Rainer M. Blair, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We delivered a better than expected second quarter, with core growth improving versus the first quarter and disciplined execution driving high-single-digits adjusted EPS growth. Our Life Sciences businesses delivered their strongest quarter in several years and while customer project timing impacted bioprocessing revenue, underlying order trends remained strong and bioprocessing orders grew mid-teens in the quarter."

Mr. Blair continued, "Looking ahead, continued end-market recovery and traction from our recent growth initiatives support our expectation to exit 2026 at a mid-single-digit core revenue growth rate. Longer term, Danaher's leading portfolio, capital deployment optionality and talented team — all powered by the Danaher Business System — position us to accelerate the impact of science and technology, help customers move from discovery to delivery faster, and create sustainable long-term shareholder value."

Third Quarter and Full Year 2026 Outlook

Danaher Corporation (the "Company") does not reconcile non-GAAP forecasted core sales growth, adjusted operating profit margin and adjusted diluted net earnings per common share to their respective, comparable measure prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) because (except for estimated amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of $0.5 billion for the third quarter and $1.9 billion for the year ending December 31, 2026 and the estimated impact of foreign currency on sales, which is estimated to decrease sales by 1.0% in the third quarter and increase sales by 0.5% in the full year, assuming the currency exchange rates in effect as of June 26, 2026) the additional elements that would be reflected in any such GAAP measures (such as the impact of currency exchange rates on profitability, future acquisitions, divested product lines, discrete tax adjustments, impairments, gains and losses on investments and the outcome of legal proceedings) are difficult to predict and estimate and are often dependent on future events that may be uncertain or outside of our control. The impact of these additional elements could be material to our results computed in accordance with GAAP.

For the third quarter 2026, the Company anticipates that non-GAAP core revenue will increase in the 2.0% to 3.0% range year-over-year.

For full year 2026, the Company expects non-GAAP core revenue will increase in the 3.0% to 4.0% range year-over-year. The Company is also increasing its full year adjusted diluted net earnings per common share guidance to a range of $8.45 to $8.60 versus previous guidance of $8.35 to $8.55.

Fair value adjustments to inventory, transaction costs deemed significant and pre-acquisition share-based and change-in-control payments, in each case related to the acquisition of Masimo Corporation ("Masimo") in the three and six-month periods ended June 26, 2026 ($108 million and $125 million pretax as reported in this line item, $95 million and $110 million after-tax). The Company deems acquisition-related transaction costs incurred in a given period to be significant (generally relating to the Company's larger acquisitions) if it determines that such costs exceed the range of acquisition-related transaction costs typical for Danaher in a given period.

D 

Impairment charges related to a trade name in the Life Sciences segment recorded in the three and six-month periods ended June 27, 2025 ($432 million pretax as reported in this line item, $328 million after-tax) and a facility in the Biotechnology segment recorded in the six-month period ended June 27, 2025 ($15 million pretax as reported in this line item, $11 million after-tax).

E 

Gain on a product line disposition in the six-month period ended June 27, 2025 ($9 million pretax as reported in this line item, $7 million after-tax).

F 

This line item reflects the aggregate tax effect of all nontax adjustments reflected in the preceding line items of the table. In addition, the footnotes above indicate the after-tax amount of each individual adjustment item. Danaher estimates the tax effect of each adjustment item by applying Danaher's overall estimated effective tax rate to the pretax amount, unless the nature of the item and/or the tax jurisdiction in which the item has been recorded requires application of a specific tax rate or tax treatment, in which case the tax effect of such item is estimated by applying such specific tax rate or tax treatment.

G 

Discrete tax adjustments and other tax-related adjustments for both the three and six-month periods ended June 26, 2026, include the impact of net discrete tax charges of $21 million related primarily to changes in estimates associated with prior period uncertain tax positions, partially offset by benefits from the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions resulting from audit settlements and the expiration of statutes of limitations during the six-month period. Discrete tax adjustments and other tax-related adjustments for the three-month period ended June 27, 2025, include the impact of net discrete tax charges of $22 million related primarily to changes in uncertain tax positions and other items. Discrete tax adjustments and other tax-related adjustments for the six-month period ended June 27, 2025, include the impact of net discrete tax charges of $12 million related primarily to the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of statutes of limitations, partially offset by changes in uncertain tax positions and other items.

Note: Beginning with the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2026, in addition to disclosing core sales growth, the Company is disclosing a new non-GAAP measure, titled "Core sales growth excluding respiratory testing." This new measure adjusts core sales to exclude revenues related to the sale of respiratory testing products in the Company's molecular diagnostics business in the Diagnostics segment. Demand for respiratory testing depends significantly on the severity levels of influenza and influenza-like illness in a given period, and these severity levels are not under management's control. As a result, presenting core sales on a basis that combines respiratory testing revenue with other Diagnostics business revenues can obscure underlying growth trends within the Diagnostics businesses.  The Company believes that presenting this additional measure will complement core sales, enhance investors' understanding of the historical and anticipated performance of the Diagnostics businesses and Danaher as a whole, including with respect to underlying growth trends, and facilitate comparisons of period-to-period performance. In addition, beginning with the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2026, the Company intends to exclude from the core sales measures the impact, if any, of tariff refunds (related to tariff payments made in prior periods) that are returned, or expected to be returned, to customers. The Company believes this adjustment will help investors better understand underlying growth trends in the Company's business that otherwise may be obscured by the above-noted tariff-related impacts.

Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Measures

Each of the non-GAAP measures set forth above should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, the comparable GAAP measure, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing Danaher Corporation's ("Danaher" or the "Company") results that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure, help our investors:

with respect to the profitability-related non-GAAP measures, understand the long-term profitability trends of our business and compare our profitability to prior and future periods and to our peers; with respect to the non-GAAP measures related to core sales, identify underlying growth trends in our business and compare our sales performance with prior and future periods and to our peers; and with respect to free cash flow (the "FCF Measure"), understand Danaher's ability to generate cash without external financings, strengthen its balance sheet, invest in its business and grow its business through acquisitions and other strategic opportunities (although a limitation of free cash flow is that it does not take into account the Company's debt service requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures, and as a result the entire free cash flow amount is not necessarily available for discretionary expenditures). Management uses the non-GAAP measures referenced above to measure the Company's operating and financial performance, and uses core sales and non-GAAP measures similar to Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Common Share, Adjusted Operating Profit and the FCF Measure in the Company's executive compensation program.

The items excluded from the non-GAAP measures set forth above have been excluded for the following reasons:

With respect to the profitability-related non-GAAP measures: Amortization of Intangible Assets: We exclude the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets because the amount and timing of such charges are significantly impacted by the timing, size, number and nature of the acquisitions we consummate. While we have a history of significant acquisition activity we do not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle, and the amount of an acquisition's purchase price allocated to intangible assets and the related amortization term are unique to each acquisition and can vary significantly from acquisition to acquisition. Exclusion of this amortization expense facilitates more consistent comparisons of operating results over time between our newly acquired and long-held businesses, and with both acquisitive and non-acquisitive peer companies. We believe however that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets contribute to sales generation and that intangible asset amortization related to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Restructuring Charges: We exclude costs incurred pursuant to discrete restructuring plans that are fundamentally different (in terms of the size, strategic nature and planning requirements, as well as the inconsistent frequency, of such plans) from the ongoing productivity improvements that result from application of the Danaher Business System. Because these restructuring plans are incremental to the core activities that arise in the ordinary course of our business and we believe are not indicative of Danaher's ongoing operating costs in a given period, we exclude these costs to facilitate a more consistent comparison of operating results over time. Other Adjustments: With respect to the other items excluded from the profitability-related non-GAAP measures, we exclude these items because they are of a nature and/or size that occur with inconsistent frequency, occur for reasons that may be unrelated to Danaher's commercial performance during the period and/or we believe that such items may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult.  With respect to core sales, (1) we exclude the impact of currency translation because it is not under management's control, is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends, and (2) we exclude the effect of acquisitions and divested product lines because the timing, size, number and nature of such transactions can vary significantly from period-to-period and between us and our peers, which we believe may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult. Please see "Sales Growth by Segment, Core Sales Growth (Decline) by Segment and Core Sales Growth Excluding Respiratory Testing" above for an explanation on why we exclude respiratory testing revenues from the non-GAAP measure "Core sales excluding respiratory testing". In addition, beginning with the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in the third quarter of 2026, the Company intends to exclude from core sales the impact of tariff refunds related to prior period tariffs that are returned, or expected to be returned, if any, to customers as the Company believes these amounts may obscure underlying business trends.  With respect to the FCF Measure, we deduct payments for additions to property, plant and equipment (net of the proceeds from capital disposals) to demonstrate the amount of operating cash flow for the period that remains after accounting for the Company's capital expenditure requirements.
