View MoreDanaher's Bioprocessing Business Is Showing Signs of a Turnaround
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 the life science and diagnostic industries after the late 2023 divesititure of its environmental and applied solutions group, Veralto.
RatingPrice TargetEnd markets strengthening on higher order volume
Danaher is a diversified life sciences and diagnostics company with global operations. Its products and solutions support the biopharma industry in the development and production of therapies. Its Diagnostics segment provides clinical instruments, reagents, and consumables to hospitals, physicians' offices, and reference laboratories. In March 2020, it acquired the GE Biopharma business and renamed it Cytiva. Danaher has continued to make acquisitions, including Aldevron in 2021 and Abcam in 2023. These acquisitions broaden its technology offerings and expand manufacturing capabilities.
RatingPrice TargetOne of the biggest surprises in 2024 has been the spectacular move
One of the biggest surprises in 2024 has been the spectacular move of the Utility (XLU) sector, with a 32.4% leap and a place atop the eleven S&P 500 sectors. We're pretty confident that no one saw that coming. Of course, these aren't your grandfathers' utilities, but rather 'potential' growth stocks where capital gains have taken over for high dividend yields. The conventional electricity industry has soared over 34%, multi-utilities are up 22%, and gas distribution has climbed by 17%. Some of the biggest gainers by market cap this year are NEE (+43%), SO (+37%), CEG (+133%), and VST (243%) in conventional electricity; DUK (+28%), D (+32%), and PEG (+50%) in multi-utilities; and ATO (+26%), NI (+36%), BIPC (+28%), and NFG (+29%) in gas distribution. Coming in second in the sector race, and maybe another surprise, is Financial (XLF), with a 28% gain. The big industry winner has been property & casualty insurance, spiking 38%. P&C is led by PGR (+59%), CB (+35%), and TRV, ALL and ACGL (all up over 40%). Asset managers have also had a great year, rising 33%. Winners here include BX (+34%), BLK (+26%), APO and BLK (both up over 50%), and BAM (+32%). After that comes Communication Services (XLC +27%), Industrials (XLI +23%), Information Technology (XLK +21%), Consumer Staples (XLP +17%), Materials (XLB +16%), and Real Estate and Healthcare (+14%). With broad strength like that, just throw a dart!
