Fortive (FTV) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Fortive (FTV) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Fortive demonstrated strong financial performance in 2024, generating approximately $6.2 billion in revenue with significant contributions from its core segments, including AHS and IOS, which reported year-over-year sales growth of 1.9% and 2.6%, respectively. The company's adjusted EBITDA reached $309 million, reflecting a robust 10.4% increase year-over-year, driven by stock compensation adjustments and software capitalization, while AHS adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 28.1%. Additionally, the North American sales segment exhibited solid growth of 4%, underscoring the firm’s resilience and its strong positioning within the professional instrumentation and healthcare markets.
Bears say
Fortive's expected earnings per share (EPS) in 3Q25 is projected to be slightly lower than the preceding quarter, indicating potential challenges in maintaining profitability amidst seasonal revenue variations. Additionally, a significant decline in electricity and fuel consumption from 2017 to 2021 may suggest weakening demand across its end markets, which could adversely impact future revenue growth. The company's adjusted gross margin also experienced a decline of 90 basis points year-over-year, attributed to tariff cost pressures, further complicating Fortive's financial outlook.
