Fortive (FTV) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Fortive reported impressive financial metrics, with total revenue reaching approximately $6.2 billion in 2024, demonstrating resilience across diverse sectors, particularly in North America where sales grew by 4% driven by professional instrumentation and healthcare equipment. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $309 million, a 10.4% year-over-year rise, supported by successful cost management and strategic adjustments in stock compensation and software capitalization. Despite experiencing challenges in certain segments, Fortive's ongoing organic growth prospects remain stable, with expectations for continued strength in healthcare and industrial sectors as indicated by consistent sales performance.
Bears say
Fortive's anticipated earnings per share (EPS) for the third quarter of 2025 is expected to be slightly lower than the second quarter, indicating a sluggish financial performance amidst challenging market conditions. Additionally, the significant decline in electricity, natural gas, and diesel fuel consumption from 2017 to 2021 raises concerns about demand in Fortive's end markets, potentially impacting future growth. Finally, the company's adjusted gross margin has decreased year-over-year due to tariff cost pressures, compounding the outlook of flat or slightly declining revenue performance.
