Danaher Corporation (DHR) 옵션

DHR Rocks ...

Just realized the div cut was because of the Veralto spinoff last October. So no big deal.

"Danaher Cuts Quarterly Dividend to 24 Cents"

Danaher lowered its quarterly cash dividend to 24 cents a share from 27 cents.

Thanks for those links. Recent advancements in generator technology are interesting. Over the years, especially when storms make headlines, I've thought about getting a generator for my home. But they're costly and need fueling and maintenance. One more thing to worry about. Where I live significant outages are rare.

Wow, Danaher hitting $325.

Bar, Danaher has always been a great long term stock, though the Covid related aspect has moved it into the 'momentum play' realm. Earnings growth of 92%, rev growth 36%, PE 43 (per Yahoo), this likely won't be sustainable forever for a company the size of Danaher, although the high growth and valuation may continue for some time. A great long term stock but high valuation.

Generac is even pricier, but 1/10 the size and should keep growing for many years. Even with the recent class action lawsuits, the stock is back near the highs again. They also have the energy storage and smart grid aspects -

These are both great stocks. The market needs a decent pullback, but the Fed 'juice' has prevented even a 5% correction. So I'm mostly on the sidelines for now. I would prefer a buy/hold forever strategy like you have, but am increasingly averse to capital loss, so currently overweight in cash, T-Bills, and shorter term bonds.

Generac, with a market cap of $28 billion, joined the S&P 500 a few months ago, I see. Previously it was one of the largest firms in the S&P Midcap 400 index.

Generac top #7 holding be weight for SPX pure growth ETF. The other day was just looking over what constitutes pure growth vs pure value investments and noticed Generac was on there.

Interesting. Because of the hurricane I was just reviewing your Generac which I always considered to be a sensible speculation. Before Generac rose so much in the past couple of years, it was too small for my taste and it paid no dividend. I figured it didn't have much of a moat as many firms around the world make or could make generators.

I don't add many new stocks, relying mostly on index funds. Danaher is my most recent addition, from several years ago and it's certainly a honey of an investment.

Hi Bar, OT - >> General Stock Ideas <<

I-Hub converted it into a 'Premium' board after an extended heated argument over the Covid vaccines (a touchy topic these days). I was not the official moderator on that board, so was unable to effectively police the board. So I think the idea was to basically shut down activity on that board by making it 'Premium'.

Anyway, I moved over to the 'Awesome Stocks' board (link below), and am trying to keep things civil. You are welcome to post anytime :o) -

Is your main General Stock Ideas board for IHUB subscribers only now? Did you mean to make that change?

>>> Is Danaher a Buy in a Post-Pandemic World?

Analyzing the investment case for buying stock in the high-flying life sciences and diagnostics company.


Motley Fool

https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/04/is-danaher-a-buy-in-a-post-pandemic-world/?source=eptyholnk0000202&utm_source=yahoo-host&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=article


Key Points

The pandemic has enhanced the company's long-term growth potential.

Current trading continues to exceed expectations.

Non-COVID-19 related revenue is back in growth mode.


Life science and diagnostics company Danaher (NYSE:DHR) is one of the big winners from the COVID-19 pandemic. Its diagnostic tests help detect the coronavirus, and its life sciences tools help medical bodies research and develop vaccines and therapies for it.

That said, what happens to the company's growth rate after the pandemic is over? Are investors in the stock about to be left holding a stock trading on a high valuation that's just about to see earnings growth prospects deteriorate?

Three reasons Danaher can keep on delivering

I think there's reason to believe that Danaher can keep growing at a very healthy clip, even in a post-pandemic environment.

Current earnings momentum is robust across all its businesses, COVID-19 related and non-COVID-19 alike.

Management's guidance for non-COVID-19 related revenue growth in 2021 has been upgraded and demonstrates underlying strength in the business.
The pandemic has strengthened the company's core business and growth prospects.

Strong earnings momentum

The company recently delivered its second-quarter earnings, and it managed to sail past management's previous guidance. For example, management had previously forecast second-quarter core revenue growth would come in within the mid-20% range, but it came in at 31.5%. As such, management upgraded its expectation for full-year core revenue growth from "high teens" to "approximately 20%."

As you can see below, the life sciences and diagnostics segments continue a powerful run, boosted by the pandemic (more on that in a moment), and the environmental and applied solutions (EAS) business is also back in growth mode. For reference, life sciences contributed $2.3 billion of operating profit in the first half compared to $1.3 billion from diagnostics and $565 million from EAS.

EAS is a collection of water quality and product ID businesses. During the earnings call, CEO Rainer Blair noted that both business platforms grew strongly in the quarter as the reopening of the economy increased sales and order rates as customers were investing in "larger projects" again.

Non-COVID-19 growth is strong too

The burning question on everybody's lips is, what kind of growth rate can investors expect after the pandemic? To help answer it, Danaher's management breaks out its guidance into COVID-19 related revenue and its "base business." As noted earlier, the full-year core revenue growth guidance was raised to "approximately 20%."

Going into more detail on the matter, Blair said "We anticipate that COVID related revenue tailwinds will be an approximately 10% contribution to the core revenue growth rate, and in our base business, we now expect that core revenue will be up 10% for the full year, an increase from our prior expectation of high single-digit."

In other words, the ramp up in the guidance primarily comes down to an increase in the guidance from the base business. That bodes well for Danaher's post-pandemic growth prospects.

The pandemic has structurally enhanced Danaher's growth

This is a subtle and critical point to understand. It's not just that the pandemic provided a temporary boost to Danaher's prospects. In life sciences, the investment made worldwide in vaccine and therapeutic science to combat the coronavirus is likely to spill out into broader-based research that can benefit Danaher for years to come.

Meanwhile, Blair outlined that monoclonal antibody-based therapies in development have increased 50% "from just five years ago." Turning back to COVID-19, there's always the possibility that a third booster shot and wide-scale vaccination of children will provide a near-term boost to Danaher's sales.

Danaher has increased its installed base of diagnostic platforms by over 40% since the pandemic started. That's important because the diagnostics business works based on the "razor/razor blade" business model. In other words, more platform sales lead to more opportunities for Danaher to sell new tests into the installed base. For example, Blair pointed out that assays (tests) for sexual health and hospital-acquired infections were up 30% in the second quarter. Also, Danaher is continually working on new assays.

Danaher is ramping up capital spending from $790 million in 2020 to around $1.5 billion in 2021, partly to build on the growth in assay development and fuel growth in the Cytiva biopharma business bought from General Electric in 2020.

Is Danaher a buy?

The exciting thing about Danaher's valuation is that it trades on roughly the same enterprise value (market cap plus net debt)-to-earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) valuation as it did before the pandemic started.

Therefore, if you believe in relative valuations, then Danaher is an attractive stock because the pandemic has enhanced its long-term growth potential. On the other hand, it's still a pretty hefty valuation to trade on, and cautious investors might want to wait for a dip to buy into a very attractive company.

I will definitely find those other 17 and add them to my portfolio just like DHR, one by one. Eventually will get them all. I trust your success.

The penny junk is entertainment to get me through the daily 9-6 at the office. You win some. You lose some.

DHR touched another high. Amazing performance.

Have a good weekend.

That's a scary thought. Who did you follow into all your crumbling penny stocks?

At least you're improving. DHR is a blue chip with a market cap of $220 billion. Be aware that I only buy blue chips and I have a profit in every one of the ~17 individual stocks I own. Of course my average holding period can be measured in decades.

I make money with my stocks.

I followed you to find this stock. Impressive indeed. Thank you. Will accumulate when possible.

Danaher. Very impressive. Just touched another record high.

312.70 this hits new highs every day. Is this normal?

Thanks for the info about hedge funds owning it. I see that it isn’t cheap. Thanks for the great info! Will consider it! Enjoy a great day and stay warm!

At 50X trailing earnings, DHR isn't cheap. I've noticed it's currently one of the most heavily owned stocks by hedge funds. This list has DHR at eighth.

Aside from index funds, I never recommend specific stocks, even NYSE quality issues like DHR. I'll leave that to IHUB's army of shills.

Earnings news.

Damn, any news? I hold a pretty big chunk of DHR but haven't paid attention to it lately.

201.50

This is going 200+

New all-time high for DHR at $180.

Hello, new to board. I think the billion or so $ will be used in part to create several new ROBAL (reagents on board) Perhaps four new lines. How else will meet the demand projected during CC.

What's the link between Aria and Danaher?

Do you realize how big Danaher is? $100+ billion market cap. OTOH DHR has been one of the best performing stocks lately.

Here's some info about the Aria test in NY:
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/14/coronavirus-new-york-city-will-buy-100000-test-kits-per-week-from-mix-of-local-and-indiana-contractors.html

Anyone estimate how significant the Aria diagnostic with its huge agreement to send the covid testing to NY state will be on DHR bottom line? I'm basing this on the conference call that mayor deblasio said about Aria and i see Dahaher owns them
