Fortive (FTV) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Fortive (FTV) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Fortive's financial performance in 2024 demonstrated a solid revenue generation of approximately $6.2 billion, supported by incremental growth across its segments, particularly in the Advanced Healthcare Solutions (AHS) and Industrial Operations (IOS) categories. AHS sales increased by 1.9% year-over-year, alongside an adjusted EBITDA growth of 10.4%, exceeding management expectations, which highlights the efficiency and profitability of Fortive’s operations. Additionally, the company's North American sales growth of 4% underscores its strength in key markets such as professional instrumentation and healthcare equipment, reinforcing a positive outlook for future performance.
Bears say
Fortive's outlook appears negative due to a forecasted decline in earnings per share (EPS) for the third quarter of 2025, expected to be slightly lower than the second quarter EPS of $0.58, despite a projected sequential increase in the fourth quarter. Additionally, the company's gross profit and margins have been adversely affected by external factors such as tariff costs, with an adjusted gross margin of 65.7% reflecting a year-over-year decline of 90 basis points. Furthermore, broader economic trends show a significant reduction in energy consumption from 2017 to 2021, which may negatively impact the demand for Fortive's products and services across its diverse markets.
