Fortive (FTV) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Fortive reported approximately $6.2 billion in revenue for 2024, showcasing a robust financial position bolstered by varied market contributions, including a 4% sales growth in North America primarily driven by professional instrumentation and healthcare equipment. The company achieved an adjusted EBITDA of $309 million, reflecting a 10.4% year-over-year increase, which was supported by favorable stock compensation adjustments and improved software capitalization efforts. Additionally, Fortive's AHS segment demonstrated resilience with sales of $328 million, up 1.9% year-over-year, and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 28.1%, indicating effective cost management and gross profit growth amidst industry headwinds in healthcare spending.
Bears say
Fortive's projected earnings per share (EPS) for the third quarter of 2025 is expected to be slightly lower than that of the second quarter, reflecting a stagnant growth outlook and subsequent moderate improvement anticipated in the fourth quarter. Additionally, the company's adjusted gross profit has shown a decrease, with a gross margin falling to 65.7%, attributed primarily to tariff cost pressures despite some growth in revenue. Furthermore, the broader trend in energy consumption, with significant declines in electricity and fuel usage from 2017 to 2021, raises concerns about demand within the end markets Fortive serves, potentially impacting future revenue streams.
