What the filing says
Fortive reported Q3 2026 revenue of $1.11 billion (up 7.8% YoY, 7.2% core), with GAAP diluted EPS of $0.57 (up 62.9%) and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.77 (up 13.2%). The company raised FY 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $3.10–$3.14 (up ~15% at midpoint). Fortive repurchased ~$300 million in Q3 (~5 million shares, ~2% of diluted shares outstanding) and ~$2.3 billion cumulatively (~43 million shares, ~13% of outstanding shares) since the new Fortive launch. The company generated TTM free cash flow of $1,062 million and completed the Precision Technologies separation in June 2025.
Why this rating
Solid operational execution with acceleration in growth and record EPS guidance lift. Relative to $18.2B market cap, this is a good-but-not-transformational performance update: no major M&A, no material segment change, 13% EPS guidance raise is material but not outsized. Routine capital deployment and separation follow-through.
