Fortive's stock soared 5% during intraday trading on Wednesday, following the release of its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 financial results.
The surge was driven by the company reporting better-than-expected quarterly earnings and revenue, alongside issuing strong guidance for the upcoming year. Fortive's adjusted earnings per share of $0.90 for Q4 2025 surpassed the analyst consensus estimate of $0.84, while quarterly sales of $1.123 billion also beat expectations of $1.093 billion.
Furthermore, the company provided an optimistic outlook for fiscal 2026, forecasting adjusted earnings in the range of $2.90 to $3.00 per share, which exceeds the Wall Street estimate of $2.84. This positive guidance is supported by resilient demand in its industrial automation unit, which saw revenue growth of approximately 5.3% in the fourth quarter.
