Danaher Corp. (ISIN US2358511028) trades at EUR 208.20 at Lang & Schwarz on October 27, 2026 at 10:48 a.m. CEST. The company raised its full-year 2026 adjusted earnings guidance after reporting stronger third-quarter revenue and cash flow, according to Danaher Corporation on October 21, 2026.

Third-quarter revenue reaches USD 6.6 billion

Revenue for the third quarter of 2026 rose 8.5 percent year over year to USD 6.6 billion. Net earnings from continuing operations reached USD 1.2 billion, compared with USD 908.0 million in the third quarter of 2025.

GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased to USD 1.71 from USD 1.27 in the comparable quarter. Adjusted diluted earnings per share rose 11.5 percent to USD 2.11, while operating cash flow reached USD 1.9 billion.

What does guidance mean for margins?

Danaher lifted its full-year adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance to USD 8.57-8.62 from USD 8.45-8.60. For the fourth quarter of 2026, management expects core revenue excluding respiratory testing to grow 4.0 to 5.0 percent year over year.

The underlying operating picture is more measured than the headline revenue figure. Core revenue growth was 3.0 percent in the third quarter, or 5.5 percent excluding respiratory testing, while respiratory revenue created a 2.5 percentage point headwind.

Cash flow adds a second signal

Non-GAAP free cash flow was USD 1.6 billion in the third quarter of 2026, up from USD 1.4 billion in the comparable period. That conversion gives the guidance increase a cash-based counterpoint, although Danaher also cited tariff refunds and acquisition-related items in its reconciliations.
