RBC raises target for Danaher stock from USD 215.00 to USD 250.00

RBC Capital raised its price target for Danaher from USD 215.00 to USD 250.00 while maintaining an Outperform rating, as Investing.com reported on October 5, 2026. Danaher also appointed Julie Sawyer Montgomery as president and CEO effective October 1, 2026, according to PR Newswire.
RBC target rises on peer valuation
The RBC move is a valuation call rather than a new Danaher contract or earnings release. Investing.com said the target increase reflected multiple expansion among peers, while RBC described the company-specific setup as more constructive ahead of the third-quarter report.
The target change gives the market a fresh benchmark in USD, but it cannot be compared directly with the euro quotation from Lang & Schwarz. Danaher's next earnings conference call is scheduled for October 21, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. ET, according to Danaher.
Second-quarter revenue gains 5.50 percent
Danaher reported USD 6.26 billion of revenue in the second quarter of 2026, up 5.50 percent from the year-earlier quarter. Adjusted earnings per share reached USD 1.94, versus a consensus estimate of USD 1.85, according to MarketBeat.
That result places the leadership transition against a measurable operating backdrop: revenue increased while adjusted earnings per share exceeded consensus by USD 0.09. The upcoming third-quarter update will show whether the new leadership team can extend that improvement beyond the second quarter.
