Narrow-moat Danaher turned in stronger-than-anticipated operating results for the fourth quarter that pushed full-year 2022 results above expectations. However, COVID-19-related tailwinds look likely to turn into headwinds in 2023, which could negatively affect the top and bottom lines. Considering these roughly offsetting factors in our model, we do not anticipate changing our $242 fair value estimate materially.
In 1984, Danaher’s founders transformed a real estate organization into an industrial-focused manufacturing company. Through a series of mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures, Danaher now focuses primarily on manufacturing scientific instruments and consumables in three segments: life sciences, diagnostics, and environmental and applied solutions. In late 2022, the company announced plans to divest its environmental and applied solutions group in 2023, which would leave it focused entirely on life sciences and diagnostics.

Style is an investment factor that has a meaningful impact on investment risk and returns.
Style is calculated by combining value and growth scores, which are first individually calculated.
High-growth stocks tend to represent the technology, healthcare, and communications sectors. They rarely distribute dividends to shareholders, opting for reinvestment in their businesses. More value-oriented stocks tend to represent financial services, utilities, and energy stocks. These are established companies that reliably pay dividends.
